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?

Anyone know where I can get free protein samples?

So far bariatric advantage sent me free sample pack i haven't received it yet but i did see online they charge for it so i called and they did it for free ....unjury says no free samples but i called and the lady said if i bought 2 samples i think they were $2 each and pay the shipping (it came to $7 total) she sent me 4 free samples so it gave me a a sample of all the flavors and an unflavored protein and also a book about WLS

Please keep us up dated vanna

Feels loke my stomache is tightened up ive been passing gas im hoping it will go away soon

Good luck to Friday surgeries! For those coming up in the next few weeks, keep your thoughts on the outcome and try not to worry about all of the details. I came home yesterday afternoon and I am glad to be here. They took great care of me Tues-Thurs afternoon. Follow the instructions they give and walk, sip, walk, sip....keep it going. I have lost 28 lbs since staring liquid diet! It really wasn't that hard after the first few days!

Passed the tests. Got my clear diet for today. Puree will be tomorrow. My diet is strict protein. No starches, milk or cheese. So no cream of wheat, no soup, no refried beans. Which is fine with me. But i feel great. I am sore but that's to be affected. Next comes the shower after they take out this lovely catheter.

OMG I'm so devastated I was supposed to go into the doctors today at 2 o'clock To let him know the results of my PFT Test and cat scan And he is about an hour away so I call to see if I could just tell him over the phone that they said everything was fine With the tests And he never called me back so I called back at one o'clock To talk to the doctor and he tells me he's canceling my surgery now And thinks that I should do the sleeve instead of the bypass because I'm an ex smoker I truly did quit and he knows that I was a smoker so why would he wait four days before surgery to tell me that so I can have it I'm so upset I'm on my way to the office now talk in person and hope he changes his mind

That is not right. I quit smoking in July of 2006 and nothing was a problem.

Surgery was yesterday. I'm doing good. When I got here they said I had gallstones.so he was going to try and remove it at the same time if he could get to it. Surgery only took a hour. But, I still have my gallbladder. My liver was to big for him to get it.

Yesterday I has ice chips and walked 2 mile. Today I had breakfast, Jello and apple juice. The next 2 meals will be mushy good. If I do good with them I get to go home tonight!

Wow 2 miles walking is awesome! I'm jealous--I wish I could do mushy food already! Doc's got me on clears for 2 weeks
