Hi everyone!

Just came back from doctor's office and have a October 28th surgery date for Gastric Bypass. This is it, the high diving platform. Knees are trembling.

Anyone else in October? Let's keep in touch as we support each other. We have the pre-op diet and getting mentally ready for this.

LET'S DO IT!

Looks like jrt is having surgery today too! Wishing them both well wishes and speedy recovery!

Wishing you a speedy recovery, congratulations !

Good luck to all the Oct 2 folks!

Question? Was your clearance over a month old?

No. Sept. 17. They just need my doc to clear me from this illness. Ugh!

yay!!!!! And this it begins ....

Now the important stuff, no red pedi for me, no pedi or mani, period. That's okay, I can deal with small setbacks.

Amylynns, I'll get that list ASAP-super busy day

Next surgeries after AuriP tomorrow Oct 1 are superbariatricbabe and zoepoodle (have not heard from in a while). How are you two holding up? Pre-diet driving you crazy yet? I think I am driving my NUT a little crazy with so many questions.

Prediet is going okay. Less hungry during the day now. I think I'm getting about 800-1000 calories a day. Definitely sick of skim milk, but it's tolerable. sugar free Popsicles are a lifesaver.

Definitely planning a Netflix Gilmore girls marathon during my recovery- never seen it and my friends won't stop talking about it. ???? also planning my walk routes around the neighborhood.

I wonder how far it's reasonable to walk in the first few days home. Do they mean we're just supposed to walk around the house, or are we expected to walk outside right away?

Yay Karen!! Been thinking about you all day!! So glad everything went well!! Whoohooo!!!!
