My surgery date is Sept 16th. I have pre-op testing tomorrow. I feel very unprepared for this and am hoping to learn a lot at my meeting with the nurse tomorrow. All I've done so far is ordered samples of Unjury.< /p>

The pre op liquid diet does get better. My surgery is scheduled for Sept 12. Tomorrow will be 1 week down of this diet. Day 4 was a bit hard because I was just so ready to chew my food. But the last few days have been really good. I space my Protein out through out the day drink my last one around 530-6pm when cooking dinner for everyone. Then I just drink drink drink Water plain or flavored till I'm about to pop. During the day I've been chewing a lot of gum as well. Hang in there guys it's all worth it in the end.

My surgery is sept 12th too! Ill start my shakes tomorrow. :)

Sept 9!?de2c So excited' date=' but doesn't seem real! I didn't want my body to freak out about the post-op liquid diet so I went ahead and started drinking shakes for Breakfast this month and will add lunch next month before going to straight liquids![/quote']

Preparation is always good! You go girl!

My surgery is September 9. I noticed several of you mentioned a pre-surgery laxative. Nobody has mentioned one to me.... Is that weird. Seems like it would be necessary.

I had to sign a Pre surg agreement that said I would NOT take any laxatives. It's interesting how different things are from surgeon to surgeon.

Just paid the rest of my balance! Everything is a goooooo.

Also just found out that my friend and I don't check into the Marriott in Tijuana until 3 pm and we get to San Diego a few hours before so we're going to make a mini vacation out of it and go see the zoo. Never been to San Diego so this will be fun!

That is awesome! I am a little jealous!

Hey guys! September 9th in Tijuana, as mentioned before.

Update: I have been following my pre-op diet: Protein Shake AM, Protein shake lunch, light salad with some form of protein (chix, fish, etc) and a protein shake later in the evening if needed. It has been working out quite well, and I have been working out pretty damn hard. 1 hour of cardio a day (most days), but I have also been lifting some weights ---which has most likely slowed my weight loss. Should I stop that? It just feels so good to lift!!! ;D

Anyway, doing well, surgery is THIS MONDAY! I am so friggin nervous, but SO EXCITED!

I am however, a little nervous about post op liquid diet. I have noticed that Isopure is very popular, so I believe I am going to buy some today. What are all of you buying for your post op?

I hope all of you are having a beautiful morning! CHEERS :D

      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!!
