I was down another 3 lbs at my visit today, for a total loss of 19 lbs since my first visit with the surgeon on Nov. 17. She wants me to get my BMI under 50 for the surgery, but she says she's confident that I can do it.

Hubby and I are sneaking off to Vegas for Valentine's Day weekend. I plan to be fairly good and continuing to avoid bread and Pasta and focus on lean Proteins, but I will be having adult beverages and not skipping dessert. As long as I stick to the plan before and after, I should be good. I will have 9 days of preop diet after the trip. Her preop diet is less than 30g carbs, at least 70g Protein, and fats in moderation. Clear liquids the day before the surgery.

She uses the Da Vinci robot. The plan is for outpatient surgery with 23 hours of observation, so I will be spending the night but it's technically outpatient.

I reacted badly to a pain medication after my last round of lithotripsy, but I don't rememeber what it is. I have a call in to my urologist to find out. I know I'm allergic to codeine, so finding a pain med could be tricky. I know I've taken hydrocodone a few times and I am hoping that it's not the one I reacted to.

So excited!
