HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 251, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 251

I have my surgery scheduled for February 22. Little nervous but excited to start this chapter in my life.

I got my previous op labs done today. I see my surgeon this Thursday and preregister for the hospital Friday the first. Then I will find out my surgery time for the 6th. I am so hungry. I can't wait to be over the surgery part and feel satisfied. Went to a really nice restaurant with the family and ordered fajitas, but just ate about 4 oz of chicken breast and about 1/2 cup of the grilled peppers and onions. I had to stare at the tortillas, rice, beans, sour creme and guacamole. It sounded so good, but I have to get to 268 by Thursday and that is with clothes on at one in the afternoon. I am at 269.4 naked in the am....so I figure I need to loose 3 more lbs to get there. Just 12 and 1/2 days till surgery.....oh boy.....nervous.

Welcome Luna!!!!

I have my surgery scheduled for February 22. Little nervous but excited to start this chapter in my life.

Finally! Someone with my date! Do excited and nervous! Wanna share info and guidance?

Feb is almost here! I'm thinking we are all starving and dreaming of being healthy... Nervous, scared, and excited. Can't wait to hear from everyone and the adventures.

I seem to be the lucky one..I have been able to eat whatever I want on the lean and green diet as long as I Iost the weight I needed to in order to schedule my date. I will do clear liquids the day before surgery and regular liquids with puddings etc. for 2 days before that...sounds like everyone else has a much more structured plan...not looking forward to the bottle of lemon magnesium citrate....ughhhh

Me too! I can't wait to get the surgery out of the way and start recovering and getting on my way to a healthier me....hopefully with less pain in my life.....I hope this helps...it is the main purpose for me. I can't wait....just about a week and a half away....

I have 2 weeks of shakes and zero calorie liquids (water, Jello, crystal light) then 1 day of clear liquids....the next 2 weeks I will be an irritable beast. That said, I don't have to do the bowel prep!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!! (Although the shakes give me horrendous diarrhea, I probably wouldn't need a bowel prep :/

I told mine he is the same way he asked me today was I still doing it! Huh? Lol. Yes I am! It pissed me off when he said he thinks I should do it the regular way which is diet n exercise.

Has anyone else hit a stand still with the prep op diet? I list 15lbs from day 1-5 and have stayed the same day 6 and 7. I hope this is normal? ? I'm on the optifast protein shakes only.

Typically. What you lose the Irish 3-4 days is mostly Fluid so that's why it's so dramatic at first, you're peeing all the extra your body is holding off. It does slo down after a couple days but stay the course and it will pick back up some, it likely won't be 15 pounds in 5 days though! Good luck! Ou or this!!!!

Funny that we have no one on the first,I guess bariatric surgeons must not operate much on Fridays.
