Is it too early to start an April thread? I didn't see one yet.

I'm scheduled for April 22. I still have to finish PCP clearance and psych then insurance approval but don't anticipate any problems. Once I started my appointments the excitement and anxiety kicked in. I started 6 month supervised diet in August....this used to seem so far away and like a vague idea but its so real now. My anxiety is double as my husband's date is march 18 and I worry a lot more about him than myself. How are all the other April folks doing?

How much did you lose the first week

I did not weigh the first week because of the fluid. My feet were still swollen so i waited

So post op day 12 I'm down 11 from surgery and 25 total from the start of my two week pre op diet. I'm very happy because I'm a slow loser since all my plumbing came out.

I didn't use a special soap but after my shower the night before had to rub with an antibacterial wipe and again the next morning before i left for the hospital it's to help prevent infections

The hospital gave me a special soap today to use tonight and tomorrow morning prior to surgery

I had to wash with a special soap the night before and morning of and then when I was being "prepped" for surgery they gave me antibacterial wipes (they had warmed them up) and I had to "wash" all over with them.
