getting ready for surgery now, good luck to all the others!

Thank you for your reply, my pea Protein tasted horrible so I returned it, I bought the GENEPRO, hopefully it comes when I leave the hospital. I am now getting ready for my surgery. I was called last night 3 times and my surgery was changed from 10am to 12pm to 9am, I have to be at the hospital at 7am, and it is now 4am. I am feeling very ready and nervous, I left packing for the last minute and I also haven't slept. I figured i'll get enough sleep later. Good luck to everyone having surgery today, I will update later on how it went. Here is my preop photo 10/07/14

I am going to try it, my stomach is on the flat side now and I feel I may be a good candidate lmao.

Lmfaoo@ good I lived, aww that's great. @@living well I think the 6 week class is good, because I see a lot of revision patients at my center and I honestly feel they weren't prepared, my mother being one of them. She lost 80lbs and gained back 100, she never followed her diet and now she wants a revision done and we are all scared for her. I wish she would of been in a 6 week class and I'm hoping they make her do a workshop now. When you guys woke up were you extremely thirsty? I had a dream I woke up and was dying for water and I really wanted to drink so badly and then that 1oz cup came and I wanted more and more, I'm wondering if its my mind telling me I won't be able to gulp down drinks anymore and to get ready.

@msspicybaby does genepro taste good? I was reading up on it and heard its a tiny scoop that dossolves into anything and that sounds amazing at 30 grams per serving. Where do you buy it? I bought pea protein and I'm hoping it doesn't taste too horrible, I really want it to be unflavored.

Omg you guys don't know what I went through today!! My surgery almost got canclled due to a mistake. I called on monday because I was told I'd be called in for preop a week prior to surgery, noone picked up and I left a message. I'm always on things and I had a feeling that I should call even though the week before I had called as well as was assured that I'd receive a call when it was time to come in! Sheesh the nerve, so this morning I get 6 phonecalls back to back at 9am! And when I finally pick up its the secretary telling me that I need to hurry and get down to the office asap before 10am to be able to have my testing done and take my preop class, and that if I don't come I'll have to be rescheduled for a later day! I was livid!!! They forgot to call me! But I managed to get to the office within 30 mins and had all my testing done and took my preop class and quiz, surgery is still in effect for 10/07! @@amylynns today I received a sheet that basically says, sugar free jello, sugar free clear liquids, proteins shakes, and broth. I'd love for you to tell me what menu ideas are on your sheet! As for everyone else, Wow seems like we do have a lot of libras and a lot of people getting surgery in october, good luck to all of us and let's stay in touch! :-*

i had a bad dream that i had surgery and i was really thirsty and i couldnt drink more than a sip of Water, i was hurt in my dream because i loveee water and i can drink like 40 oz in 1 minute. the dream made me worry that id always be thristy after surgery.

thank you ! i will keep in touch!

i am choosing rny because with the sleeve i was told you can eat bad foods in the long run without dumping syndrome. i need a consequence for bad eating so that i can learn not to do it again.

i hear you! i was with healthfirst forever but i didnt want to wait the 6 months because i was actually dieting for a year just not supervised. i plan on changing back to healthfirst after surgery because there's a 3 month grace period after my effective date of september to go back. i've heard metro sucks but i really needed to get this done asap. im getting gastric bypass. good luck with everything, i went to the seminar at presbytarian in july, just took a different route because they only accept healthfirst there and thats a mandatory 6 months.

what a 6 week class? wow. i only have to do a 2 day diet. im glad everything went smooth for you guys...i had a csection last year and i kind of love being put to sleep. im looking forward to it. im not looking forward to waking up in pain though.

goodluck today!!

i don't know if i am posting this in the right place, but i am curious, what did you guys incorporate into your preop diet? how did you feel while on the diet? also i would like to know how did you feel when you were about to get surgery and the mask was put on? what were your thoughts?

did he use the generic kind or the regular preparation h, because a tube is expensive, just wondering because im going to stock up just in case.

oct 7th here too, good luck!

oct 7th here!! nyc st lukes.

i had healthfirst on my first visit in august, i changed it to metroplus and now im schedule for surgery oct 7th , change your plan hunny!! all i had to do was psych, abdominal, 2 support groups, and ekg!

i have a similar story to yours, i omitted that on my psych evaluation because i was never diagnosed and i wasn't addicted to it, i just thought it would make me thinner which it did. i was 16, so about 7 years ago, and i stopped on my own and never did it again. since you say that its on your record, i would be honest but if not i'd keep it to myself unless you felt you would do it again. my honest opinion. i hope everything works out for you.

yay! we are getting the best bday gift! i didnt need to do a 2 week diet, just 2 days but i really dont know which liquids...i start on the 5th...

you look amazing in your avi, how is everything going for you?

Awesome!! omg its approaching fast lol. i just bought some Vitamins, yogurt, Jello, crystal light, and my Protein. i actually made a shake today and it was good, i got a sample from chike. how do you feel on your diet? what Protein powder did you buy? i bought one thats made from peas.

I love the way you named it "the lasts", because i have been feeling like this too, i was a little sad about not being able to eat holiday food too. I will not lie, i have been eating my favorite meals lately because i know that once i get this surgery i wont be eating those things anymore. my birthday is 3 days before surgery and i am going to drink the night away as well. i am saying goodbye to all my bad habits too.
