I'm scheduled for bypass surgery on Sept. 29th. I'm on my low carb preop diet for the past 9 days and I'm doing really well! Thank you Crystal lite and in n out protein burgers w/no veggies to get me through the tuff times.

I've lost 9 lbs so far????????this past week to make my liver look pretty. Getting my gallbladder out as well.

I'm starting to get nervous. I hope they help with that as soon as I get changed into my surgery gown! You all are amazing to me and so brave!

Are protein burgers like veggie burgers?

Hi Shotzy and welcome!

I hope all goes well with your surgery. You sound like you are well on your way!

No, Protein burgers are just patties of meat and cheese wrapped in lettuce.

And thank you for the welcome????

Good luck on your surgery and let us know if we can be of any help.

Welcome to the family! 5 days away - good luck with the surgery!

Your surgery date is just around the corner, congrats! Don't be scared. You'll do fine. Your anesthesiologist will probably come and talk to you before wheeling you in. He/She might ask if you'd like something before, just to calm your nerves. Mine did and I honestly don't remember anything after scooting over to the surgical gurney - not the mask being placed over my face, recovery... nothing! I had a very smooth surgery and recovery. If they don't offer, you can always ask if you'll still feeling nervous.

Best of luck! ????

You'll do great! Congratulations on the start of a whole new life! Wishing the best for you. ????
