My surgery is with Dr. Aceves on Sept. 30, so will be getting there the 29th, sure would be nice to meet up with others from the boards if they are having surgery on or around same time as I am. Thanks!

Oh ladies, I am getting excited - I will probably see some of you there as well. My surgery is on Sept 28th. I just got my date so have to do some quick shopping this weekend! I am packing a DVD player but don't have a laptop - I will loan it out when I am not using it so bring some DVD's if you like. Oh my, I leave in 8 days! Has anyone started their pre-op diet? :001_unsure:

Hello Susan and welcome to the forum. I will be arriving on the 30th for pre-op. I will stop by and say hello. Check to see if you need anything. Good Luck and I look forward to meeting you. Judy

Thanks Judy - I will be able to give you all the gruesome details! Haha. I am going out to get my post-op supplies - getting very excited as I fly down in 1 week. Should did that suitcase out...:thumbup1:

Well ladies is everyone ready? We are going be swooping down on Dr Aceves like a flock of chickens after a worm. Don't you all wear him out before Sue from SC and I get there. LOL Has everyone been good on thier pre-op diet?

Hey Judy!

I am SO ready to go...one week from tomorrow. Yes I have been good on my pre-op diet. I started a week early and have already lost 7lbs! How are you doing? I still haven't packed or finished shopping, I will do that next weekend to keep myself busy. I think I am so excited that I don't have time to be nervous.

BTW, we will warn Dr. Aceves and team to rest up for the flock he has next week:thumbup:

Hi Susan,

I am taking my laptop, thank you for offering to share your DVD player. It also plays DVDs, so I will have some movies with me. Let me know what you are taking and I will send you my list in a PM and then maybe we can borrow so we don't have to watch the same movies over and over again!

Looking forward to meeting you!

Oh my - the Aceves high protein/low carb diet - not going too badly - had a few slips - who knew a banana would eat up my carbs for the day! I sure am not used to eating so much meat and the withdrawal of carbs headache I had on Day 2 was huge!

I still have to go to my daughters this week to raid her movies - so far I will be bringing the first 3 seasons of Supernatural and Kinky Boots - pretty weird I know but that's me! Will keep you posted when I get more!

If I could borrow your laptop to send some emails to the few people that know I am having this done, that would be awesome.

I am getting pretty pumped - this will be us - :party4:

Of course you can borrow my laptop to send emails to those you need to. I'm bringing Shrek, Pretty Woman and whatever comes in from Netflix before I leave.

My surgery is the 23rd. I am so sorry that I am going to miss you "party gals".

Cajun, I'm sorry we are gonna miss you too. We will still be Oct. sleeve sisters though.

Ok girls, it's countdown time! Woohoo for us! How are you feeling? I have been a little nervous and crying but last night, I gave it up to God and He is gonna take it from here! I started my pre-op diet today, hope I do well on it. Hope to hear from you, if not, I will see you all next week.

I'm scheduled on Monday the 28th with Dr. Aceves. I'll look you up if I'm still there. It will be nice having someone to talk to. I think there are about 5 of us scheduled that week so the ward should be full. See you then....Donna

This is going to be awesome! So many of us, the staff will think it's a party. :scared0:

I started the preop diet on Fri, forgetting that we were having a big birthday party for my Dad the same day. I did super right up until the cake.. it was decorated by my niece, who just turned 3. She obviously had a ball decorating, heh. Started again Sat.. I'm not sure I feel any different, except for the thoughts of REALLY wanting a bagel or a croissant. Or some rice or.. yeah gonna stop that. :cursing: Had a headache today but that could have been the weather or allergies.

Had to laugh at the banana comment, I had some greek salad (tomato, cuke, feta etc) and whoah, 12g right there!

I think I will bring my laptop too. If anyone wants to borrow it, it has a dvd player.

Ivy (still wondering about what to bring)

I so want some popcorn right now, with extra butter.

Breakfast-Eas chocolate shake

Lunch-Turkey slices and cucumber.

Dinner-2 hamburger patties grilled, and celery.

What did everyone else have?

I had Atikins RTD vanilla for Breakfast

1 piece of string cheese

SlimFast meal bar - lunch

Atkins RTD strawberry for dinner

will have some more cheese and a little beef Jerky for a snack. (I usually don't drink two meals currently as I don't want to hate liquids next week - I just ran out of time today and needed something quick after work).

It's working for me. Tomorrow I will probably have eggs and who knows what else :scared0:
