I am currently preop although I have done all my clearances and have my surgery date (9/21). Just looking for some preop friends to talk with up until (and after) surgery. We could help keep eachother on track diet wise, and could help ease any fears we are having. (we all have those fears that our non-overweight friends or spouses just don't quite get). I am located in upstate NY but I am open to talking to anyone from any location. I do have facebook etc if you prefer chatting that way. Who knows, we may become great friends!

Congrats @@RKS1983WI are you getting excited?

When is yours rks1983wi

Yes! It can't come soon enough, I'm excited, nervous, scared.. soo many emotions. I got my approval and cried throughout the day, I knew I would cry if I was denied, never expected to cry for an approval. Do you have a 2 week pre op liquid diet?

Mine is 9/21

@@RKS1983WI I can totally relate! I have a mix of emotions ever since getting my surgery date. I was one of the very fortunate ones that didn't have a diet to follow for an extended period of time. So I had my informational session, consult with the surgeon and got my surgery date and all other appointment dates in the matter of 4 days. I didn't know what to expect, but I certainly didn't expect that! So since then I have been predominently excited but I do randomly burst into tears over concerns, or over the idea of just how different things will be. Overall though I am sooo excited and can hardly wait. I don't have a w week preop diet, but I do need to lose another 10-15lbs before surgery so I am basically sticking to a liquid diet for the most part. My surgeon only requires a 3 day preop diet, but I figured I would do it for a week.

I have a 3 week one i don't know why.. i cried when i was approved at work too at least i was on break lol. I knew if i was denied i wouldnt know what to do... and congratulations on the date its a week after mine surgery buddies

Yayy!! I have been following a very low carb diet and I will say I was not at all prepared for how grumpy this would make me. I don't know if it's tge lower carbs, hormone changes or what but I do know I have 0 patience and want to smack people a majority of my days.. LOL

Wow 3 weeks! Is it pretty strict? I can have 4-5 shakes a day 2 cups of broth 1/2 cup tomato juice, SF jello and SF popsicles, lots of water and drinks like crystal light, v8 splash, fruit 2o etc. We can do this!!!

Yes it is the same as a regular one she said with mine being so long i can have like a fish or a small piece of chicken for dinners .. broth jello sf popsicles and water.. but shakes galore and I'm ok with that i haven't had a shake i havent liked yet so im ok with that just want this month over!

That should definitely help having fish etc. Being 3 wks. Good luck! I have found my ninja blender to be my best friend with the shakes, I feel more satisfied with them blended with ice, like I'm getting something a bit more substantial lol, I'm hoping that helps on my all liquid!

My surgery is scheduled for aug 31 and i have my last two clearence on Tuesday!!! Email me beasleymafe@gmail.com would love to chat!! Or inbox me thru here
