Okay, it's official. Got my lab work date, upper GI date and delivery date for meds. I think I have everything I need. I am a planner. Let's share our lists. Here is mine, tell me if I am missing anything. Abdominal Binder, B-12 sublingual, Broths, Calcuim citrate+D, GasX Strips, Heat/cold packs, Miralax, Multivitamin, Pepcid/prilosec/tums, Protein shakes, Tylenol liquid

. The straw is going to be a challenge for me.

. It's only 3 weeks away!!!! food has a way of calling you back. Lol

. My doc never goes to all liquids.

Ecarol you are right. The year flew by, this month not so much.

. Yes, most people seem to be required to do it but every doctor is different. Some doctors are all liquids mine is 5 protein bars/shakes and a low calorie and low fat dinner. He thinks people are more compliant that way. It is hard at first bot then you start thinking about the lifestyle change you are making and you want to do it.

Sounds like you did well today. Oh yeah! protein bars are just like candy my new fix for my sweet touch.

. How are you feeling?

How was the pre-op diet today. Any challenges?

. That was very true and extremely insightful. I am rooting for all of us to be successful.

Same date as me!

I am the 10th.

Yippee!!! November is quickly approaching.

I am having 5 protein shakes/bars and low calorie and low fat dinner. No goal, just trying to make this lifestyle change.

I am in Dallas I am also North Texas, Dallas.

Angie - It sounds like you are on your way. I am doing 5 shakes/protein bars a day and a low fat and low calorie dinner. It is getting easier each day.

. Thank you, I will keep you up-to-date.

I am learning so many things, my doctor never gave me a weight loss requirement for pre-op. I can have 5 shakes/bars a day and a low calorie and low fat dinner. I can comply with that. What is your shake of choice?

. You are not ancient I grew up on a diary farm, so we had our own garden also and unpasteurized milk too for that matter. I am the same way, I used to eat all I wanted those days and never a pound now I have to take drastic measures to take the weight off. 50 years...and he is supportive of you doing something wonderful for yourself. Hats off to that man. This is our journey to the rest of our lives, we have to stay focused, positive and motivated.

Angie, you got this as long as you believe you can do it. What is you nutritional plan?

You definitely are loser bench ready. We will keep each other motivated. My husband is an amazing cook and he is doing all the cooking while I am going through thus process. Please pray for me.

December will be here before you know it.

Nicholson, November 10th.
