Hello All!! I'm new and have been working toward surgery since feb 2013. Many bumps in the road but my surgery is set for March 10. I look forward to following a few of these posts and see how everyone is doing.

Best of luck to everyone!

I'm still in a shock mode like it really isn't going to happen. Don't get me wrong I'm doing my low carb diet prep. H&P Wed maybe it will seem more real. Friday pre-op and registration with the hospital maybe then. I don't think it will really hit me until I'm in my room after surgery and I hear the surgeon say the procedure was a success.

I agree, it helps reading what others are going through. Glad to know someone else is on the same day as I am! Thanks for the reply.

They haven't told me to start any type of diet. I did get a missed call from my Dr though so I will see if they tell me to start tomorrow. Every meal I have i get a feeling like it will be the last one I will have FOREVER and get a little sad. I think it's me being in panic mode though.

One thing I have noticed on this site is different surgeons have different protocols. Mine was a low carb diet starting two weeks before surgery. I'm seeing everything from liquid diet to not much more than clean eating. I had the same feeling about a few meals, I felt sad I may never eat it again but clearly eating it wasn't helping me much either. So hopefully if I have issues with some foods it won't feel too bad since I will be a much healthier version of myself.
