I am soooo happy and nervous I finally manage to lose the 10 pounds my doctor wanted me to lose ( thanks to your tips and this forum ) and finally she scheduled my surgery. Thanks for your support!

Congratulations on your surgery date. You've come to the right place for support. Lurk and learn.

Congrats! Hope everything goes well for you. Just remember its not a sprint, its a marthon.

Thank you! You're right it's not a sprint. I had such a hard time losing those 10 pounds I thought I was doomed.

I know what you mean. I had to lose 10 to 15 pounds before they would do surgery. I was put on a low carb diet for 7 months prior to getting a date.

My surgery date is June 12th also...congrats surgery sista!!! LOL

You are the first I have heard the June surgery date. Mine is June 6. I can't wait. I have already started my own pre-op pre-op diet so my body doesn't go into shock.

My surgeon said nothing about pre-op diet. What kind of pre-op diet are your doing on your own?

Thanks!

Yay! I got a surgery sista! I'm so happy but very nervous. Good luck and let me know how your surgery went.

My preop diet is 2 weeks before surgery I have to replace Breakfast with a Protein shake lunch and supper will be 4 oz lean meat and a cup of cooked veggies or 2 cups raw. That is for a week then for 5 days it is 4 shakes a day then 2 days it is Clear liquids only then the night before is nothing.

My preop preop diet is a shake for lunch and a reasonably healthy breakfast and dinner. Just to keep me from getting sick or a bad headache if I went cold turkey.
