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!!

Happy Thoughts

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!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
