Seems to have started Friday. I'm hoping by this Friday it's pretty much gone when I go for preop testing.

So happy to see you doing so well. I caught a cold. I can't believe it. This better be gone soon. I dont want to mess with my surgery date!

So glad you're doing good!!

I can't wait to join the losers bench!

Sorry that was appt with surgeon on the 7th

I just got the news I've been approved for surgery. Preop testing on the 4th, a pot with surgeon on the 7th, then surgery on the 15th. Wow it's happening

Best of luck to you!!!

I'm in Bergen county NJ. Surgery on the 15th in Englewood.

One month preop diet? Yikes! My only preop diet is clear liquids the day before surgery and nothing after midnight. I am going to switch to mostly protein shakes now just because I want to get used to it and I want to lose some weight prior. I will eventually tell my mom but she's got a big mouth and then my sister will know and my aunt then it's my nieces. Ugh. I think I have a cold now and I'm freaking out because i don't need to get sick so close to surgery. Good luck to you and keep us posted

How was surgery? How long were you in the hospital?

I need all that stuff done 2 weeks out from my surgery.

I'm in NJ with Dr. Strain.

Hope all us going well on your preop diet

I'm going to start doing protein shakes and small lunches to try to make sure I'm good and get used to the lifestyle change. Emotional eating is a tough one. Once the next phase of my journey begins, I want to go to a therapist. I wasn't happy with the one I went to regarding the surgery. Good luck to you! Let us know how things go

So the count down begins. I'm nervous I've gained weight over the holiday. Next 3 weeks im going to try my hardest to be down before surgery. Anyone else having issues? I also still need to tell my mom what im doing. I just know telling her would open it up to other family members bring told. I dont care if they find out after the surgery. I just dont need opinions. My boyfriend says I need to let my mom know prior to surgery just in case. How about as im being wheeled into surgery? Lol all in all I'm like everyone else.....nervous about surgery but can't wait to start this part of my journey

They want my pre OP testing done on the 29th. I need another form filled out by my gp. Meet with surgeon again on the 7th. Wait for all approval. Start preop diet of clear liquids the day before surgery. How is your schedule looking?

My surgery is also set for 1/15

I enjoy combat chocolate or chocolate peanut butter

I haven't gotten my date yet but I'm thinking it's looking like January

I hope you are doing good

Why is everyone so far away? Lol

Wishing you a speedy recovery!! Where are you located?

Oh No! I don't envy your pre op diet. My Dr only requires 1-2 days. Good luck on your surgery. Keep us updated!

I go see the surgeon again in 12/10. By then I assume my sleep study results will be in and I can get a date. I think st this point I may want to wait until early January as with everyone's vacation schedule it might be hard to get in before

@frustr8 thank you. I enjoy your posts and appreciate all your positivity !
