Down 20lbs surgery on 9/24/15

Rima how are you doing? Any room on the bench for me lol

glad too hear that your doing great... I'll be on the bench soon

4 days left on preop diet before my final day on pure liquid diet than surgery 9/24

Stay busy Sleevemetoo15 and drinks lots of Water or Crystal Light (no t.v. as it has too many food commercials unless you are watching movies)!! going into day 4.... preop appointment is Monday and I'm excited. Its finally about to happen. I'm ready. The days have gotten better.

I'm the same day, congratulations, keep me updated gasx, chap stick, puzzle book/pen, cell and charger, slippers, sports bra, long night shirt, deodorant, toothpaste/brush, and my bonnet... am I missing anything?

Preop diet day 1 complete, 13 more days. It was ok, but I'm hoping it gets easier...

good luck...

we have the same except, I have two Protein shakes... with my one smart one... I can have either sf jello or sf popsicle. O and my 64 oz of water... preop diet starts Thursday and my surgery is 9/24

Rima how are you feeling?

Preop diet starts 9/10....surgery 9/24, the day before my birthday.

Surgery date is September 24...

I'm also from Chicago, there are two other ladies from Chicago... where are you having your surgery?

That would be awesome!!!! I'm from the Windy City....Chicago Where's my bariatric family from ???!!! also from Chicago

it did me like that for 20 mins... try logging in online a few times... not the app

the two diet is to shrink your liver, because it sits directly over the stomach... it makes getting to the stomach easier.

My surgeon say 4-6 weeks, post op will be 2 weeks after surgery... depending on how I'm feeling, he will write me a return to work letter either good to return before my remaining 2-4 weeks are up or to continue recovery.

I have not been at my job long enough to use FMLA, so I chose to tell my manager. I am shooting for surgery on September 4th because that is the Friday before the long weekend and also because my son's birthday is September 1st and I didn't want his birthday to be overshadowed by my surgery. My manager has been great and said that he will do everything he can to work with me. I plan some personal days and vacation days combined. I've mentions it too coworkers, but not to my manager. I'm planning to complete FMLA just as soon as I'm given a surgery date and return to work day. FMLA with contact my manager anyways... I have about 2 weeks for vacation/sick time, but I have UNUM STD... so I'll have money coming in... to cover the other four weeks I'm off....

yeah... i didn't have a supervised diet... but the process took five month because of scheduling issues. Welcome to the group

My sleep study was last night, interesting experience. My tech didn't wake me up to put on a cpap, but that doesn't mean I don't have sleep apnea. Won't know for 3-4 days, hopefully sooner. I may have to come back for a second study, but sleep with a cpap.

oh please add me... it would be better for us to communicate. Traceybaker2011@hotmail.com

We are all getting close... its really happening. I'm super excited about it

Sleep study tonight... hoping to get a surgery date after this... boy the ball took forever to roll.
