March Surgery!

AHHH! I just found out today that my surgery date is March 16th. 3 weeks from tomorrow.

It all seems so fast. I just started this process with an all day appointment at mayo Clinic in November, and the time has FLOWN by.

I had my last visit with the psychologist on Friday and she signed off/discharged me then. I got the call from the surgical scheduler today and, I'm not even going to lie, started freaking out a little (okay, a lot).

Anyone else with March dates? My birthday is March 10th, so I can't think of a better way to usher in 33 than a new me.

I'm starting to get more nervous, but I keep telling myself that it's all for the better.

One preop visit, one lab visit, one bypass diet visit and then surgery. I don't know if anyone else has gone to Mayo Clinic, but they do not mess around. I've had to keep a significant food log (with pre and post-meal feelings) since November, had to cut out any alcohol and most caffeine and had to significantly increase exercise in order to be discharged.

Sorry, I'm kinda freaking out here. All of the forums here have been a massive help thus far, and I hope to post/contribute more as I go through the process.

WHEEE!

I'm scheduled for March 16. Start pre-op diet on the 2nd. Good luck, everyone!!

Me too! Good luck!

@@mel2k16 mayo apparently doesn't do a huge liquid diet - it's only 2-3 days prior for...cleaning things out and such. I feel for everyone on the 1-2 week diets. You can do it! It'll be here before you know it. :)

@@Wia - good luck to you, too!

I'm doing great with the pre-op diet. I have four days left and can have shakes, Soups and bars. With 6 servings a day, I eat every six hours and it manages to keep me full. I haven't had any cravings which I am completely surprised about. Everyone else in my house still eats regularly and it hasn't bothered me.

I meant to say I eat every 2 hours. I have to be on the diet for 12 days.

My date is the 7th of March! Very excited. Pre-op diet is a strict - with only 15g carbs per day - high Protein diet. No liquid diet 2 days prior. There's so many variations on these diets. I watched a few episodes of Fat Doctor and those patients are all on a milk diet!?

Good luck to you all!

I'm scheduled for surgery March 22, 2016...three weeks from tomorrow. That gives me just enough time to get things in order at the office, with school (I'm in my final semester, finally completing my undergraduate degree this May), and around the home-front (hubby, adult kid and her kid/my grandkid, and my mom at least half the time).

I'm looking forward to surgery, and I'm ALSO looking forward to six weeks of paid-leave! I'm 45 years old and I haven't had this kind of work reprieve since I was 17!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
