IM SCHEDULED FOR SEPT 12

i was doing so well. than at lunch in the cafe i had the beef stew, small bowl of tortilla chips with cheese, small salad and tiramsu cake i didnt enjoy the cake at all what a waste. than came back t my desk and ate a slice of pizza . grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr will try again tomorrow i guess it could of been worse right.

I'm Sept 12 also

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy its taking to long and i am trying to lose this last 2 lbs but i keep messing up

My surgery date is September10th finally I see the light at the end of the tunnel! Lol

Me too! Can't wait

My surgery is scheduled for 9/4 . I am only required to do an 8 day liquid diet, but I started today. I keep getting these "lasts" cravings. I want my last burger for a while. I want my last bunch of fries. I want my last steak. If I don't start now and restrict myself and gain some control and simplicity, I'll eat the last 18lbs I lost right back on my body.

So, I started today. We will see how it goes!

You can do it!! Im Sept 4 too and I start my liquid diet Tuesday!! Cant weight to lose weight!!!

Thanks for the support!

Today hasnt been bad so far. I'll tell you what, I'm super gassy. I have always been moderately gassy, though. We will see what tomorrow brings!

I don't know what everyone else is required to do for the pre-op diet. Some people I read only have to do the day before of Clear liquids. What does yours consist of?

My doctor has a nutritionist in his office and its mandatory you meet with her, you pay for a 7 day supply of nutrimed products, you eat smoothies, shakes, broth, lots of water, and protien bars instead of meals. Your surgeon should tell you what they prefer check out preop forum on foods.

Oh she did. I'm to do 6-8oz glasses of milk with the no sugar added Carnation breakfast essentials and 6-8oz glasses of non calorie liquid. I can also have broth and sugar free jello and popsicles.

Sept. 17 woot!! woot!! I am also nervous at the same time because i have never had surgery. It was really quick 2. My first doc visit was July 12. I start the liquid diet Sept. 3.

I made it through day 1pre-op liquid only diet. Sept 4th is one day closer.

Me too...im on day 2 now..

Mine consists of two weeks of liquid diet. I had to buy the Protein that they wanted us to use (its actually not bad) its called HMR 800 and i can turn them into pudding and stuff and add flavorings so its not that bad...yet (only on day 2).

Last visit with the nutritionist yesterday. I start my 10 day liquid diet on Saturday. Somebody was talking about lasts a couple pages back. The only thing I really wanted for sure was steak, and I got that last weekend. Now I'm just trying to get all the food out of the house that I know I won't be able to eat for a long while, lol!

Is anyone else know they are getting their gallbladder taken out at the same time as surgery? I've been wondering about the gallbladder, and whether taking it out would help with potential acid reflux after...

I think I'm luck that I had my gallbladder out 10 yrs ago the surgery itself is simple but the risk of infection is high, it would depend on your surgeon & if they think it's possible. I know 1 person who did it & she was fine.

Yay! I am officially scheduled for 11 September! And my insurance is already approved -- only took BCBS one day.
