December 12, 201213 yr I'm scheduled for the 17th in Dallas too.. I'm so excited but kinda nervous too.. it's been a long journey to get here .. I can't wait
December 13, 201213 yr About 48 hours til all this waiting comes to an end. Surgery on the 15th. Grateful for your prayers.
December 13, 201213 yr How is everyone doing on pre-op? Today is my 7th day...it is much easier now then before. I have to work harder to get ALL the drinks down...I'm on New Direction Weight Control System packets along with sf jello, popsicles etc. I'm so worried...I was in a situation where someone brought food for me to eat surprisingly (they, along with most everyone else doesn't know I'm having the surgery). I had a very very small bite of what they brought so it seemed that I ate. I really hope those two - three small bites don't cause my surgery to be postponed....thoughts? Think it will be ok? It was back on day 3 or 4. Other than that I think I'm doing pretty good, getting in lots of water-that seems to be key in loosing the weight...9 lbs down this week! I'm on day 11 and when I weighed in on Tuesday, I was down 8.4 pounds (actually). I'm on a protein diet with a shake for breakfast and lunch, one protein bar and one fruit a day, and then a senisble dinner. What I was doing if I got to hungry doing the day, I would alternate my meals and have the shake for dinner instead. Good luck to you on your surgery!!!1

December 13, 201213 yr My surgery is December 20th as well! I'm having mine at St. Alexian Brothers in Elk Grove Village, IL. Excited and scared as hell! I'm down 16.5 pounds as of this morning. Not doing too well with the bariatric drinks - Okay, they SUCK! I hate them! Basically living off jello, popsicles and broth. Promised my doc I'd try to get in at least two shakes a day.
December 14, 201213 yr Well I received a call today from my surgeons office and they have moved my surgery up to Tuesday, December 18! Very stressful because I don't like change on major things! I know it is all part of God's plan though!

I know it is all part of God's plan though! @bgeb You have my thoughts and prayers and positive vibes for tomorrow! Everything will go well. @CG75 It's never fun when they change things, but I'm sure your surgeon wouldn't have done it if he didn't think you were ready and able to handle it. Hello all. My date is December 19th, so 5 days to go. Good luck to everyone!
December 18, 201213 yr My surgery date is 12/20 with Dr. Strickland in Lexington, SC. I've had a hard time on this 2 week pre-op diet, so I'm very thankful that its over tomorrow!!! On the other hand I'm scared out of my mind. My 6 year old son is very worried that I won't come home from the hospital and cried b/c he can't come with me.
So... I just got my date, Dec 20th! Sorta sucks right before Christmas, and my in laws will be here and they don't know about it, but I do not care at all! I'm getting sleeved! Start my preop diet Thursday...
Anyone else on the 20th?
