LOL. Today was first day I bugged them. I just wanted to make sure about the pcp recommendation/referral

Well I went in there last week just to make sure that they had all of my medical records and to see what was missing so I could work on it. Then I called them Thursday to make sure they at they got the ones that were missing. And that's when they told me about the letter from the PCP. So then I had to bug my PCP-which, luckily, I also work with him one day a week-and then I bugged him today to see if he actually did it. I am just a very organized person and like to have all of my ducks in a row. Not knowing what is going on really drives me nuts. haha

October will be here so fast I am looking forward to wearing short shorts being able to run and go up the stairs in my house without running out of breath buying some jeans from regular stores in smaller siizes feeling sexy when i get dressed instead of disgusting but i am so very scared

I wish that we could up load videos to this site. I just bought a lot of post op products and I would love to show you all what I got.

Put it on YouTube and post the link ;)

We may have to make an oct 15th group

That sounds like a really good idea!

I couldn't agree or relate more! haha. I feel like my WLS center probably sighs and roll their eyes every time I call them and say "Hi' date=' this is Jordan" lol. Well just get me my date and surgery, and I will be on my merry way![/quote']

Yeah I went thru that stalker modei think we all have. Lol

I CANNOT WAIT. The 8th of next month cannot come quick enough,. and as of now im just tryna get my mind ready im on a 4week fast so that first week had my head spinning but im better now.

Good Morning my fellow Oct surgery daters :), I am just checking in to see how everyone is doing? I can imagine excited and scared at the same time. I know I am. I am super excited about my pre-op appointment tomorrow afternoon, however I am nervous about starting the liquid diet next Monday. Time is going fast, but yet so slow because I am just ready for the "day of" which is when I think it will all feel so real. I am looking forward to a healthy life changing experience most of all.

Anyway, I hope everyone have q wonderful day (Happy Tuesday :)) And I will keep everyone posted.

My pre-op appointment is this morning but I've been having trouble drinking all the meal replacement shakes because I'm sleeping so much I'm constantly exhausted

Liz.. what is your preop diet? They told me I will have to drink shakes, but that's it..is that the whole diet? Can't eat anything?

Hi Liz,

Which brand of Protein supplements are you using? My goal will be to get as much of the replacement shakes in during the day while i'm at work.

I know you asked Liz, whats her preop diet, but i just wanted to throw my 2cents in. My doctor approved me to drink Oh Yeah protein Supplements with unsweetened soy milk, almond milk, or 1 % milk. I have to drink 1200 calories a day. At first they wanted me to drink Unjury which is what they recommend for all their patients however i wasn't able to keep it down (it was that bad)........
