Hey everyone,

I got the phone call yesterday that I was approved and I have my surgery date November 21st. I am excited and a little nervous because it is actually happening!

Hi everyone! Beginning to forget why I'm doing this... cold feet I think they call it... anyone else???? Starting to question everything. Hoping I'm normal [emoji12]

I don't know why I am having a feeling I might get rejected from the operation [emoji53]

I have the same feelings. Just waiting for the other shoe to fall off.

And it's not a nice feeling. Yesterday I felt as if I was overly full after dinner eventhough I followed the pre-operative quantity of food. I still feel as if I have had no development in my liver size

I'm sure we're both doing what we're supposed to be doing. We've got this. You first and I'll follow along behind you.

My weight loss during my pre-op liquid diet has slowed down a bunch. At first I was losing at least 1lb+ a day. Now it's like half a pound or no change. Is this normal? I've been following all the rules!

Don't be concerned about how much weight you're losing on the preop diet. Just stick to it and it'll help you develop the habits needed for when you have your surgery. Good luck!

I got the call today. November 30!

Hey all! I saw my dentist last week and thought this would be a good place to share what I've learned. Hopefully it helps you research, prepare, or prompt a conversation with your dentist.

Apparently, tooth decay and tooth loss after surgery is a common thing. There are a bunch of reasons for this, vomiting, vitamin deficiency, etc..

I'm pretty fond of my smile and I refuse to let this happen to me!

I hate water and my nutritionist said, try True Lemon - it's natural and safe. But, what I've now learned, from a dental perspective, is that it's full of citric acid which will eat away at my tooth enamel. So I have to suck it up, drink the water, and add the True Lemon as a treat. (Totally derails my water after surgery game plan - but I will have teeth)

Haven't had a fluoride treatment in I can't tell you how long, but now this will become part of my 6 month check up to better protect my teeth. Also, I was instructed to use mouthwash with fluoride.

This is some of what I learned. Not saying it'll apply to everyone but it's something to think about.
