  • Well it's 5am in London now. Day 7 contemplations. Have been awake a lot of the night with gas pains (that feeling it's right up to the top of your throat). But a week on I generally feel ok. I

I'm scheduled for My 19th too! I also have a 4 hr appointment on May 4th and start my pre-op the next day. Not liquids but all high Protein low carb from the store inside my surgeons clinic. In Grand Rapids, Mi with Dr. Paul Kemmerer! I'M SOOOO excited! How are people prepping at home? I feel like I should be nesting like before I had my daughter. So far all I've done is separate clothes in my closet to what I'm wearing now vs. some smaller items from years past that might fit when I return to work. I'm a nurse manager and have to dress up for work-excited for new clothes but not looking forward to the cost of constantly changing wardrobes.

My Dr suggested buying kiddie spoons, forks, plates and a sippie cup. I felt a little awkward buying them since my youngest child is 16...Haha I have never been a shopper, so the idea of buying all new clothes doesn't appeal to me. Maybe that will change when I get to buy smaller clothes. On the 11th I go to the hospital for a full day of pre op testing. I think that's when it will finally hit me that this is going to happen!!!!

I'm scheduled for May 8th (6 days!). I do not have any pre op diet Getting both excited and nervous. I think I'm going to miss my morning coffee the most.

Hello everyone! I am scheduled for May 18 in Milwaukee, WI. No pre-op diet for me either!

Hi there. New to forum but also scheduled for 19 May in UK. Pre-op diet starts Tuesday

Has anyone bought their supplements yet? I decided to wait until after my pre op appt and visit with the Nut..

I have not. When I go to my 4 hour NUT class on Tuesday I will leave with a 1 month supply of supplements. This is one thing included in our 350 dollar program fee

I had my pre-surgical class with the RN and nut last week so I bought mine. I ordered a chewable multivitamin and several different types of protein powder to try. I ordered calcium supplements as well. I have biotin and vitamin D at home already. I also ordered a Blender Bottle that the nut recommended for protein shakes.

My surgery date is May 18 I am in Houston...Good luck to everyone!!!!

Anyone else feel like this is going to be the longest week of your life?! I tried to really fill my work calendar to keep me occupied and so I won't be too behind when I get back to work but I feel like time is moving in slow motion!

Did you like any one better than the others?

The grape frost was the best to me. But you should try some different ones to find one you like. Btw, I'm scheduled for May 19.
