Hey yall! Are yall prepping? I know Yadie has kids. I do too. 6 and almost 8.

Hi! Great idea!

My surgeon doesn't require me to do preop diet. I don't have any kids either. Just busy working on a deadline, and trying to get taxes done. I feel like I should be doing a million other things. But, no time.

How about you? Do the kids known about the surgery?

my doctor had me do the 2 week diet its driving me nuts! lol nothing but meal replacement shakes,soups and water ????????

I don't get soups im keeping my limit under 900 calories a day. I'm doing fairly well so far. I found that taking an acid reducer helps with hunger.... wierd, I know.

I feel like I'm running out of time too! I was told I wouldn't be required to do a pre op cause I'm lower bmi, but I asked for the plan. From what I read the lower your surgery weight more overall % you can lose.

My kids are too young. They don't know. I have one more day of work! I'm getting excited! I have to get though tomorrow. Run a billion errands on saturday. Spend a lazy day with the family on sunday.... then finish packing.

Are yalls out patient?

I am starting to get nervous. 10 days on liquids and I am running out of time to get everything done.

WOW! That's commitment to start a preop diet early (with out having too). I feel like a life time of change eating is plenty for me ????

You are way ahead of the game if you're resting on Sunday. That sounds wonderful. I am going none stop until Tuesday. I haven't even really done any sleeve related stuff, like shopping for after surgery. I am really nervous because I don't like milk, or yogurt, or cottage cheese. Makes me gag. Not sure how I'll survive! Hopefully it will all work out.

We're all taking the plung together! ???? That's cool! Glad you started this thread

Me too! No liquids (but super nervous) and lots of life stuff to do. Do you know how long we're expected to be down? And do we have physical limitations, carrying stuff etc.?

its powder soup kind of like broth! not cool! lol

I'm taking 2 weeks off. I know there's typically a lifting restiction for 6 weeks.

All my work may have been in vain. I wont know for sure until Monday but I may have to reschedule. They JUST TOLD ME today that my EKG was abnormal and I'll need to see a cardiologist first to get clearance for surgery. I have an appointment on Monday morning but if he doesn't clear me that day then I cant have mine done ????????????????

I'm sorry you just found this out. ???? Keep us posted.

I will I'm kind of freaking cause it will cost me ALOT of money to reschedule. Like a grand. ????

I'm hoping it's nothing serious and he sees all is well on monday morning and let's me leave as planned! I'm trying to keep my mind off it. It's more difficult that I thought, it seems to be all I'm focusing on....

Is it Monday yet?

I can imagine. I'm a nervous wreck without facing the possible reschedule. Prayerfully it's nothing too bad, and he will clear you. Of course, as disappointing as it would be to have to reschedule...you want to be sure your heart is good to go.

I am obsessing on the size of the stomach. I found a paper that looks like it says my doc is only taking 70% out, for some reason I thought it was 85%. What did your doc say?

Edited February 21, 201610 yr by Bluesky1

He said it would be about 80% I think the "%" depends on how bug your stomach is at the time of surgery. Because the stomach is able to stretch it's hard to pinpoint an exact percentage I would think.

Yeah if it's serious, then I would be okay, but I'm pretty sure it isn't serious. I'm 28, lower bmi and 0 history of heart problems.

All those variables are in your favor. Keeping you in my prayers. ????

How are yall doing? I'm packing and preparing anyway, just in case. If he clears me I'm gonna have to make a mad dash to get to the plane ontime.

Yall packed yet?
