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

I just did my physical today and have my "fabulous life makeover" scheduled for 3/12/13. OMG....I can't believe it's so close! Whew...i have so many emotions about it. Mostly excitement but also lots of fears! Eeekkk B-)

My surgery is 3/12, I start my liquid diet in 1 week, not looking forward to it:(

I have to do 2 8oz protein shakes a day, 64 oz of water a day, 4 chewable vitamins & 200mg of CQ-10, I can also have 4 oz total of any meat cheese or eggs! I'm a sugar-a-holic so I'm expecting MAJOR headaches right away.

I wish the month would fly by, I have a month and a week to go. Unfortunately, I had to schedule it that far away because of the upper gi endoscopy the first date they could take me for that was March and the next available date for surgery after that was March 28...I am on pins & needles anxiously awaiting, and I am second guessing myself wondering if I am doing the right thing, should I tell this person or that person...ugh! I know I dont want to tell alot of people because I do not want to hear negativity so I have only told some very close friends who I know will be supportative, but the work thing is what is stressing me out. How do I ask for time off? UGH! March 28th please get here fast!!

I applied for a leave of absence from work. My first week will be paid ( I saved up pto), my second week will be paid at 66% of pay by short term disability. You should look into it, I had to go to my HR department for the details and they walked me thru everything. With my leave of absence, I had to give 30 days notice too, so u may want to check asap!! Good luck!

I have the worst sweet tooth of anyone I have ever met & I was just telling my husband yesterday that I think this pre op diet is perfect for me because everything I consume is sweet...peanut butter & chocolate shake, cinnamon roll Protein Shake, sugar free Jello (with sweet n low of course!) and sugar free popsicles, unsweet tea (with lots of sweet n low) & all of those packet things u mix with a bottle of water (with sweet n low) yes, i'm basically addicted to sweet n low, equal, & splenda. But u might be surprised at how well you can do on this diet with no real sugar products. I havent even thought about having a dr pepper 10 in like 6 days, & no headaches..that one really surprised me. I tired to wean myself off (no much) before I started the diet last Friday. Dont be afraid to dive in girl, you just might like the water!

Hello,

First Post very nervous and apprehensive. May date is March 20th.

The peanut butter I got is PB2 & I bought it at Kroger (grocery) in the health food area. It was on sale for $3.99. I mix it in with my chocolate shakes & it tastes like peanut butter cups.
