That's why I don't watch tv and anything I do watch I tivo it to skip commercials.

I had my nutrition class on monday and was able to sample their Protein drink. Labs completed Tuesday along with psychologist meeting. Wasn't real impressed with him. I wrote out a sample schedule based on current work schedule for long term success, but keep fretting over the pre-op liquid schedule. I keep second guessing myself over the success of this long term.

I'm on 11/18!

Me too! 11 more days!! ????????????

A few more days to my preop and the start of my liquid diet

I am and I can't decide if I'm elated or terrified. Depends on which video I watch. Everyone sticking to their pre op diet? I find cabbage Soup diet soup helps.

I'm scheduled for the 18th also, but getting concerned because my pre-op blood work is Mon then PCP on Thurs,...worrying that all the paper work will not make it in time, why would they give me a surg. date few day's after my consult...had consult on Oct 16, within 6 day's got the call and date for procedure...Nov 18th..also insurance approval.??????

Don't know what to pack...? Hi all- I'm traveling quite a distance for my surgery and am going to be on my own so I want to prep for all. What should I bring food wise for post surgery? Any recommendations for clear broths / drinks etc? Broths seem to be really high sodium anyone have anything else they recommend that will provide acceptable subsistence?

Nov. 18th for me as well!! I guess we are all trying to get it done before the holidays (or at least I am). Congrats to everyone! We are on our way to a new beginning :D

Thinking about not doing the surgery

Thinking about not doing the surgery

Tell us why. ????

I struggled this weekends, it was really hard. I do better during the week because I'm at work and I'm very busy. To make things worse I have been sick. I just got finish telling myself you can do this, so I got up and got a protein drink. I want a bag of chips so bad right now. It is a mind thing. If I get to hungry, I have been eating eggs or broth with white chicken meat in it. In my house Sunday is pasta night, this was the worse night yet. I love, no, I am addicted to pasta. ????. Not being able to eat pasta last night made me very depressed ????. It even made me rethink about having the procedure. I went to my room closed the door and I survived. 10 more days, seems so long. I have lost 15 pounds already.
