Well done, it will be here before you know it, my date is the 9th, a d am excitedly counting down the days:-) x

I'm scheduled for the 1st...and I have it planned to be off until 11/7...but if the doc says it's okay to go back... I'll be back...

My surgery I'd the 9th on a tuesday. I am taking that week and the next week off. I am starting to get kind of excited! My NUT said that sometimes people could go back after a week, but that seems way too soon! A month would be nice!

Hi, just wondering how u are doing? I have been on my pre op diet since Monday and am doing good, but the weekend may be a big challenge, hubby has a takeaway and I know I will be tempted, lol. I am just focussing on what I should eat and making sure I have in what I need to stick to it. I am on the 800 -1,000cal low fat, low Carb, low sugar min Protein diet, glad I am not on the 14 day milk diet.

I am using the fitness pal app to log what I eat and am finding it very helpful.

I am going to get weighed in a short while and am hoping I have lost some more weight, only getting weighed twice a week, but I want to get on everyday.

My mom who is 80 has been Ill this week and late last night was rushed into hospital in delirium and I just wanted to comfort eat when I got home, but didn't, I had 2 slices of chicken and was satisfied.

Would love to hear how you are getting pre op, Janet

My date is 10/15 too. I'm extremely excited and nervous at the same time. I have been up reading posts since I got my approval. Looking forward to downloading the fitness pal app to track my progress. Any other ideas or tips would be super! I'm going shopping for protein shakes today and have no clue which ones are best.

Best of luck to you all!!

My date is October 4th. I took 8 days off work. That's all the time I had available. So I am hoping I have a good recovery. I only work 3 days a week so that kinda helps. Congrats on your surgery!!!

Make that at least January looking at finding a new job! I got a long vacation!
