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?

4 glucose control boost shakes ans dinner of 4-5 ozs of certain lean meat and 1-2 cups of non starch freah or frozen veggie

Okay that sounds about like what I'm on too.

I have surgery Monday. I haven't given up caffiene. Am I in trouble?

I was told they do not want you drinking caffeine. Some patients are tested by their surgeons to make sure they haven't had caffeine. Some people quit right before surgery and have a hard time with the withdrawals after surgery. I was told no caffeine for a few months after surgery.

FYI Bariatric Fusion cinna bun shakes are nasty!

My surgeon wanted me to quit caffeine two weeks before the surgery. You definitely cannot have any post-op. it can cause ulcers and dehydration.

I gave up caffeine at the very beginning of my appts. 6 months ago. I was addicted and figured that if I gave it up right away, I would have an easier time later on. I drink crystal light now. Have had a few drinks of soda and found that I don't miss it. I also haven't had any alcohol in about 3 months. I was a pretty big drinker on weekends, so I thought it would be better if I cut that out as well.

Here in canada in order to have Gastric Bypass you have to be smoke free and marijuana free 6 months prior to surgery or they won't do it. They do random testing. Two failed test and your out and can't reapply for one year and have to start the screening process all over from the beginning.
