kh1967, I completely on the same boat as you. My surgery is Nov. 24 also. I was excited the day I got my approval, but now I am in the blah section. Your A, B, C worries are exactly what I am feeling too. :thumbup: Jodi, you said it best as far as all the stress of all the many little things you have to do prior to surgery. The pre-op diet is torture. Right now, I feel like I'm starving to death, but I have to wait at least another hour before my next protein shake. I have four kids running around and all I want to do is eat their snacks and lunches that I make for them. :thumbup: But I don't. We are all doing this to make a better person out of us and a healthier one. So eventually we will get excited and pull forward through all this. :thumbup: kh1967, keep me posted on your SUCCESS! I can't wait to finally share mine! 276 / 254 / 145 Highest / Current / Goal

HI there, started my pre-op diet today. 3 protein shakes and 1 - 400 calorie meal. :scared2:Sounds hard for someone who ate 3 meals a day, plus snacks. I know I can do it because I want this change in my life. I am curious to see what everyone eats pre-op and post-op. Also wanted to see what the average weight loss for everyone seems to be. Also, how was recovery? I have a 17 month old that I am worried will need me asap (picking up, holding, etc.).:eek: Dr. Muller from San Diego will be doing my surgery at Sharp Memorial. Looking forward to hearing from you all! :eek: Tara - From Santee, CA.
