Is anyone out there already scheduled for a surgery in March? Mine is scheduled for March 5th.

Am wondering if anyone has specific advice about how to prepare at home etc for the surgery?

Also' date=' as perfect as I have done on pre op diet, today is day 8 with nothing but shakes and Water, my mind keeps telling me I want that last meal! I have already been through that not sure why the urges are back but I have been doing mind over matter all day.[/quote']

Keep up the good work, my pre op is two shakes a day with one meal, no carbs and salads in stuff, and this is day one I'm starving!! I got 7days left. Drinking tuns of water to stay full, good luck!

Yeah Me I have lost a total of 11 lbs on my pre op diet I am so happy because I thought I was going to be stuck at 6. WE CAN DO THIS!!!

Good Luck to all you March 1 banders let us know how it goes? Praying for you all.

Thanks for the tips Molly. I have the low sodium broth (chicken) and gatorades and diet snapples. Am going to get the sugar free ice pops and sugar free jello today. Did not hear about the pillow and the heating pad - will have to look into that. Do you think it will be a problem that I have to go upstairs to my bedroom?

Everytime I post and see my ticker counting down, I'm "OMG....it's finally happening!" Excited, apprehensive, projecting and imagining all the changes that are going to take place...and...I'm stopped reading the horror stories because that is not helpful as I get closer to my surgery date. It was a good thing to do when I was gathering education to make my decision, but a negative thing to do at this point. Decision made, date set and now my mind needs to imagine the "Best Case Scenario". Good luck to all as we move through "our month."
