Congrats, that's my birthday! I'm October 6th. Good luck.

I am going to have my surgery the 13th and I have my nutrition class on Oct 2. I will I guess start my preop diet shortly after that depending on when they want me to start and when I can get prepared for that. It is really getting close.

Preparing to start my pre-op diet this thursday. I try one of the Bariatric Advanatge shakes today to see how it taste and I like it. So I'll buy the vanilla one and add the Capella Flavors to enhance it. Tomorrow I have to go to the Alexian Brothers Hospital to do my prep tests. So the journey is really kicksatarting.

I'm set for surgery a week from today. My pre-op blood work appt is tomorrow. I've not done very well on my pre-op diet. Worried about how that will play out. Have been super excited until this week. Now sad and scared about new lifestyle.

Oh my god I've lost 12 pounds in my first 5 days of my pre-op diet and I've even eat chicken breasts but no carbs or fat.

My op is the 16th so I'm 10 days away, I hope I continue to feel relaxed as I'm now up tip the op day.

My surgery is tomorrow. Waiting for the hospital to give me my arrival time. Its making for a very anxious day. I only had to to do a low cal diet for 5 days n then clear liquids for 3 but im down 8 lbs. I was really surprised at how easy the liquid phase is. I expected to be much hungrier.
