Got my date... September 3rd. Anyone else scheduled this day or in September?

I'm in pre op! Got my iv, antibiotics, heparin shot, and nausea med. Now I'm just waiting on the surgery. It got pushed back to 10am est, so I got about 75 minutes. And the countdown begins!

5 days till surgery. Have already lost 21 pounds but I want to cheat so bad today. All I want is meat, like meat loaf or breaded chicken. Haven't cheated yet and I am committed but its getting hard as I have been on this liquid diet for 9 days already (doc gave me 2 weeks).

Hey sugery buddy!. I know what you mean about pre op. I've lost 11. I have found, stuff like sugar free popsicles really help. You can do it. Did they give you a time for when you are going in? They won't tell me till Friday...

Wow 21 pounds, you got to love that! Keep your eye on the prize the next 5 days will fly by. Just keep yourself busy, and if you have a family to cook for it helps if you cook things that you don't like that much. I love Mexican food and we usually have some kind of Mexican dish each week. I refused to make it while I was on my pre-op.

They make a mexican broth, you should try it. No calories but it has spice.

How is everyone else doing that had surgery today? This has been the strangest surgery I've ever had. I was in a lot of pain when I first woke up, but they finally got it under control. For me, it wasn't painful at the incision site, but where they did the cutting inside. It's now about 12 hrs later and I gotta say that this is the least painful surgery I've had. Definitely not as bad as gallbladder or csections. Just wanted to share. Good luck everyone!

Glad to hear your not having much pain. I felt it was a walk in the park compared to having two c-sections. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Ya. 10:30 but my surgeons office called today and left a message to call them back. Didn't get it till late so I am worried the docs have to change my date. Im sure its just to check in with me.

maybe it's just arrival info...don't worry

Surgery one week from today. My liquid diet officially starts today, but I started doing half liquid meals last week and already lost 13 pounds as of today-10% of my goal... can't wait until I really get started!
