Hello October 2nd!

Since there seem to be quite a few of us now, I thought we should have our own place to talk. I start my preop diet tomorrow. I get 1 meal of meat and veggies, 2 shakes and unlimited jello. Is anyone else just on liquids?

I'm beyond excited :) Down 13lbs and hope this fatty liver is a little bit smaller. I'm stocked up with protein powders/sf jello/broth & baby food prunes (I've been told its good to have on hand for possible constipation issues). We can do this !! We'll be on the losers bench before we know it

It went really well! After the 4th day, I never even felt hungry. Just space out your food and jello and whatever snacks you are allowed so you are eating something every few hours. You'll do great!

They haven't called me with my time yet. Today will either crawl by, or fly! Hopefully fly cause I'm excited

Well hopefully it will be early. My husband said the faster it's over with the quicker I can start recovering.

Actually, someone asked that in my pre-op class yesterday with the bariatric nurse...Pretty much the answer was as soon as you feel up to it. Most of the women in my support group waited a few days to a few weeks... some said the surgery increased their appetite ;-)

I forgot to ask how they are going to get you admitted and prepped in under an hour?! They are fast!
