Hi everyone

My name us Dede and I live in Edmonton, Alberta. I'm scheduled with Dr Aceves, Mexico

October 10!!!

I have a date with Dr. Aceves on October 11, 2012! I am 56 years old, live in Texas, weights etc. are in tickers below. Anyone else going to be in Mexicali around Oct. 11th?

I am so excited about the surgery! I went to Cosco this weekend and purchased protein powder, greek yogurt and vitamins. I picked up some Cytosport Whey protein powder (vanilla) that has 27 grams of protein and only 3 grams of carbs and 140 total calories. It was alittle pricey but it was really delicious!! I am not a big fan of this greek yogurt by itself so I will have to mix it with other products.

I went to my local Market Street grocery store and purchased the PB2 powder and PB Thins! It made me fall in love with peanut butter all over again.

Has anyone else been shopping and purchasing preop/post op goodies yet?

Is anyone using chia seed in there preop shakes?

Lol I have been shopping for two weeks for post op! What to get, how much, etc. I also don't like Greek yogurt but just yesterday found one that is really good. It's new I think. Dannon Lite and Fit Greek. 12g protein and it's low carb and sugar.....

I am on prevpak, I just didn't get why they don't do blood work earlier than that. I postpone my date twice.

I had the generic equivilent of prevpac because the brand name was over 300 dollars with excellent insurance. The generic cost me less than 20 bucks!

I just got my date, October 1! I will start my pre-op September 17th.

Right there with you, I'm Oct 1 and start my pre-op diet 9/18. Where are you?

I'm so jealous of everyone getting their dates! Hopefully I can join this list by next week! I'm getting stressed out thinking about it all the time.
