Anyone having surgery in September? Just got my date and overwhelmed with emotions!

BellaLuce4.....I think that if that had happened to me last night, the cast Iron frying pan would have had a dent in it this morning!

Glad to see that I'm not alone! Best wishes everyone!!

I totally understand you guys. I am day 9 on post op. My hubby bought frosted donuts in the morning. He got three pizzas for lunch and then had me fry chicken for dinner. He is a chicken skin person and so am I. It was hard to step away from that. For lunch and dinner I went straight upstairs because it bothers the heck out of me. I have no support system here, sigh.
But I know this will not last long. I will be able to eat regular foods soon. I am not saying going back to my eating habits, but regular foods.

Greetings September Sleevers Great to read all your posts! I'm on my second day of the Pre Op Diet, I'm scheduled for 9/16. I'm nervous, hungary and tired...lol I am using "MY Fitness Pal" just to log my liquids and food (or lack of) and what ever exercize I can squeeze in. Does anyone use something better?
Feeling a bit Anxious, what should I expect during the next 2 weeks and right after the surgery, anyone know someone that has done this recently?
Thanks!

I almost did the same - last night was my first day of liquid diet pre op. I went grocery shopping for my 4 kids and husband after work and bought them their back to school lunches, snack meals for the week etc. I could not wait to get home and have my only real food of the day, 4-6 oz of protien and a vegi.
All day I I kept thinking....Chicken or left over Steak from the night before...yumm I walk in the door at 7:30 PM with arms full of groceries that I can not eat and see the chicken soaking in a bowl full of wishbone Italian dressing and wanted to cry,so then I looked for the steak in the fridge from the night before and it;s gone. I find it at the top of the garbage with the fast trimming of raw chicken fat on it. I also almost throat punched the hubby! lol

The first 6 to 7 days of my pre op liquid diet was brutal. I was withdrawing from a serious caffeine addiction (serious coffee drinker). That with the carb withdrawal almost killed me. I didn't want to get out of bed in the morning and went to sleep early at night. Didn't know what else to do as I didn't want any felony charges against me. I also have a 16 year old. Do you feel my pain? Good news..I did kick the caffeine. My doctor told me it was mandatory. Also, sugar....yuck! Hang in there girl

Ladies being in jail will only postpone your surgeries. Lol

I truly feel for you......My husband, who at 55, only weighs about 25 lbs heavier than when we married 31 years ago, got the munchies BEFORE dinner last night and scarfed down 2 big pieces of stuffed pizza followed by his regular dinner an hour later....all in front of me. I, btw, was only on day 2 of my pre-op diet and was already hating it......I didn't want to throat punch him but I was thinking a cast Iron frying pan across his noggin might be a good idea. LOL!

I'm on day 4 of my liquid diet and on our way to my pre-op appt and he decides to go to McDonald's drive thru to get him Breakfast. I told him he'd better think ahead next time and eat at home before we leave. I will get my revenge though cause I will be starting puréed foods while he's on his liquid diet. Haha Not the same as McDonald's but I'm going to pretend it is dang delicious! lol

Hi, I am on day 2, so I'll be right after you! Looking foward to follwing your success!!

Good luck, BellaLuce4! My surgery is scheduled for Sept 15th and I'm on day three of the pre-op diet. I'm using a journal to keep track of things and I also feel hungry and tired. We can do this!

I'm on day three of my pre-op diet and I have to say it....it's awful! I'm allowed 2 Water based Protein Shakes a day and 4 oz of lean meat with a half-cup of veggies. I can also have 2 servings of broth, sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles plus tons of water. The worst of it is the awful Protein shakes. Well, those and the 8 chewable bariatric Vitamins I have to take. Don't get me wrong, I can do this and I WILL do this! But, it's not easy. 11 more days to go.......
