Hello. All! I've been so inspired reading threads on VST since February, but this is my first post. My date is May 8th! Excited and nervous, but educated. Ready for a healthier me, but not so ready to shell out all the $$$ --- I'm a self payer! What's your biggest post-surgery concern?

Mulliganmom...I'm self-pay on May 8th, too...my biggest post-op concern is what I am going to do with all of those emotions that I have been soothing/stuffing down/hiding from by over eating for the past 15 years...and I'm concerned that my tastes will change so much that I don't truly enjoy food any more

Njgurl and ladykirklin...I'm May 14th also! I'm so stoked!

Me too! How goes the pre op diets??

I have a long appt with Dr and staff on May 1. That's when I'll pick up everything for my 2 week pre-op.

Won't be long now!

Have you started yours?

So ... is everyone ready for their pre-op diet? My surgeon told me I had to keep the calorie intake between 800-1,000 calories per day during this phase.

I'm already starting to stock up on protein shakes, but I want to plan my liquids to make sure I'm doing everything right. Me + no plan = failure:(

This is the start of my second day pre-op - and it is tough! I am trying to stay busy and praying that by day 4 it gets easier like everyone says.....and I thought quitting smoking was tough.......

My surgery date is MAY 24TH - I am so looking forward to it; am counting down the days.....ready for a new chapter in my life!

I'm too excited the new me begins on May 6th!!!!!! I can't believe this is actually going to happen. Yay!

I'm May 6th too!!! Ready to rock??
