My surgery is 11/29. My preop diet started 11/15. This is been so difficult. The first day i cheated big time. The quilt set in and I’ve been doing good ever sense. I’m allowed oatmeal or grits, broth, Protein Shakes, Water, pop cycles, fat free pudding, and yogurt. I upped my water intake and found that i am less hungry when i do that. I want to crunch something so bad.

Cool I use to live in Bowie, but I always went out to Waldorf...let’s keep in touch

I'm the 29th. I'm in my 3rd day of the pre op diet and I feel so weak. I have everything I can do to get moving at work today.

Hello....what part of MD do you live in?

I’m charles county.

My husband is the same way. What I’ve done to make it “easier” is:

Grocery shop for at least 2 weeks with everything he needs to feed the kids. It’ll be easy stuff and if worse comes to worst they can eat sandwiches. They will be just fine.
House will be clean.
The kids closets and drawers will be sorted. My twins are 6. They can dress themselves.
When i come home Friday i will do what i can and what i can’t will just not get done. My husband is only off my surgery day and he day after. He’s going to have to figure out how to manage school, lunches, dinner, karate and dance class. They will all survive.
Every day from now till surgery day i am reorganizing every room in my house.

They will be fine. Good luck with your surgery and recovery.

I love my Young Living essential oils !! When I was at my pre-op, I brought a list of the oils I use on a regular basis. It was 2 pages, 2 columns each page !! The Dr was stunned!! I had to assure him that I didn't use all of them every day, but I do use numerous daily. I use Thieves with coconut oil on the bottom of my feet. Orange on my toothpaste to whiten my teeth (they practically glow), frankincense and envision as my night cream, I diffuse lavender and northern lights black spruce to sleep like a baby. I love stress away, and valor. Don't get me started, I could talk all night about oils ....

I totally screen shotted this so I can try these oils. I’m just starting but so far love them!

Hi! I love EO too. That amount of oil shouldn't cause an issue (though I have bypass, still shouldn't be an issue). I personally have problems with oily/fatty food, but not a few drops.

I usually just diffuse too though. What are your fave combos? I mostly just use lavender, but sometimes I'll switch it up and do peppermint and eucalyptus when the family is studying (supposed to be good for memory/retention).

I diffuse different things depending on what’s going on. At bedtime is lavander. When the kids are stuffy I do RC and peppermint. Lemon in my Water every day helps me 💩. When hubby tresses I use stress away and lavander massages. Thieves from time to time but I mostly use it for cleaning. I love my oils lol

Hello,

I am a huge fan of using essential oils. I mostly diffuse however I do put lemon oil in my Water everyday and Digize. Has anyone here has issues using oils after surgery. I use young living.

My surgery date is 11/29. I ended up taking 8 classes. I only needed 3 months but my drs office required 4 and I had to start over because I missed one. Lmao long story. So after 1 full year I’m finally having surgery. Now that I think about it I’m glad I was extended a year. Now more than ever I know I’m ready.

My surgery is 11/29 and I cooked thanksgiving dinner last week for that very same reason.

I also have Cigna. I have high BP and am on 1 medication. I also have high cholesterol. My BMI is 36.8. I got my approval today.

Looking forward to seeing your progress updates. They gave me the option of having surgery 11/15. I’m ready for surgery but still need to plan accordingly.

My surgery is 11/29 my preop diet starts 2 weeks before that. Last week I made a full thanksgiving dinner because I knew I wouldn’t have an opportunity to after surgery.

I have Cigna and my BMI is 36. I have high BP and cholesterol. I got my approval today. It will be very hard to get Cigna to pay without any other issues.

I’m having my sleeve surgery 11/29. Looking for a buddy.

I’m in southern MD and having my surgery 11/29. I’m so ready for this to happen.

I finally got the call today. I had to restart my entire program. What should have taken 4 months took 1 year. That’s all behind me and I’m ready for a new beginning with my new tool. Looking for a weight loss pal.

July 12 and preop diet starts 2 weeks prior. I think that means Wednesday. I'm nervous and excited.

July 12th

Mine is July 12. Less than a month.

I'm also going to be at Bayview. Who was your husband's surgeon (if you don't mind me asking)?

Oh my goodness! It's coming up so soon! Are you having surgery at Hopkins?

I'm in the Baltimore area with a July 11th surgery date. It's been a long process to this point and can't believe it's about to happen. Starting the liquid diet next week...eek!!!
