After a long year of waiting I finally got my clearance for surgery I'm scheduled Feb 20. I'm a bit nervous, scared and even second guessing it. In the past year I lost 30 lbs on my own and focused on me to prepare me for this day why do I feel this way?

I started my pre op deit in October when I made my deposit. I started drinking two Protein shakes a day and a low carb dinner. I went from 390lbs to 348lbs (as of yesterday). Yesterday I started my doc Rx pre op which is the Protein Shakes and low carb dinner for 14 days then 4 days of a clear liquid diet. I have to be honest I am tired of the shakes. Today I only had one so far but I went to sonic and got a route 44 cup of ice and poured a hunger crystal light over it so i have been sipping on that and eating the ice. I know later I may have to have the shake but it seems to be working for me as of now....

Gosh, I'm fussing here about doing a month of protein pre-op and look at you-- since Oct!!! Your doing awesome! I'm only 2 days in, headaches and snuck in a string cheese. I figure 800 cal and minimal carbs should be good.

I want to join in I am scheduled for February 25th excited

Same day as me

Same day as me

Great I have someone to share with. Lol I just got everything taken care off I think I start my diet in the 15th.

Awesome I went to my surgical appt yesterday signed all my paper work can't wait!

Well, I started my prep last Monday, lost 11 lbs., scheduled for surgery next Tuesday (2/12) but still waiting on my authorization. They said it was no problems and everything should go as scheduled but I'm freaking out a little. Please let it come in today!!!
