Did not see a December surgery post so added one. I can update as we go along here.

msixkiller December 4th Bailey Medical Center, Owasso OK

Wow 3 weeks. My Dr only said one. What can u drink?

I'm so nervous. I want to get excited but my Dr hasn't submitted to insurance yet. He said he can't until after endoscopy. I have my date but what if I'm denied? Anyone else have this?

Wow 3 weeks. My Dr only said one. What can u drink?

I can have 4 bottles of Ensure plus three cups of skim milk per day... Not sure how it will be but will keep you posted

Wow that sounds hard but what a great way to start. Hmmm I'm thinking maybe I should so mine longer. It deffinitly would help take off some weight.

It should, I hope, the main reason is to make sure my liver shrinks a little. My dietician today said that t is 60% of my needed caloric intake and I haven't lost anything up till now so I'm thinking, if I can keep on it, I should lose quite a bit. Not necessarily the best way - ultimate "fad" diet but we'll see lol.

I finished all of my tests over the summer. Tuesday I go to the "education" (dietician) class, on Wednesday I sign consent, see Dr. (last visit) and get my pre-op labs. Picked up some starter supplies (protein, broth, jello etc....)

Looking forward to starting my new life, too! Seems surreal!
