Who wants to be surgery buddies? My surgery is Feb 20th!

Mine is scheduled for 2/19. This is my first post and thought I'd just read instead of jumping in to the discussions but I'm going to need the support and most of y'all seem super nice and helpful!

Ask any questions you want, we all want to help anyway we can. I'm pre surg myself although I've been a Bariatric Pal for several months. We have a lot of WLS veterans on here, they have or are still fighting pounds on their journeys but still have time to mentor and encourage us all. I'm 72, planning early-mid March RnY at Mount Carmel in Columbus Ohio. More frightened of not having surgery than the actual surgery. I can do this. I'm in it to win it. Won't be the walk in the park it is for the younger ones but I can still rescue a smaller size and good health from the grasp of chubbyhood. Care to join me on this long fruitful journey? The best is just ahead.

My bypass is also Feb. 27th. I've been thinking about doing this for so many years and now I'm just ready to get this done!! I have to do a liquid diet on Monday. I was talking to a friend about her bypass that she had 15 years ago. Boy!! Have things changed! She knew nothing about the amounts of vitamins and minerals she needs to maintain her health!

Not really. I'm just tricky and can fool you.

STILL think you’re awesome!!!!

Dunno. Hoping to find the other flavors at Sam's today but suspect it might be an Amazon purchase.
[mention=334415]KayeQuiroz80[/mention] It's so much better than the Isopure Clear, but yeah, it does have a tannic/citric acid feel to it. I cut it with water and it helps. But glad the world is made of all kinds of peeps with different tastes! [emoji3]

Sam’s only had fruit punch (not a fruit punch fan) but I found the other 2 flavs, orange/mango (my favorite) and Raspberry on Amazon.

My surgery date is Feb 19 & this Pre-op diet is really hard.

I was just thinking about you and hoping your surgery went well. Please tell me this pre-op diet is worth it???

I’m 2/28 my preop diet starts on Valentine’s Day [emoji174]

How are you doing on the liquid diet???

How are you doing on the liquid diet???

Luckily my preop diet includes 1 lean meal so it’s not all liquid. I’m doing better than I thought definitely not as hungry as I thought I’d be that one meal is a lifesaver. How are you making out?

February 20th seems to be a,popular day for Bariatric surgery. Beginning to think they all took Presidents Day off and they're telescoping the whole week into,that day. At any rate please update us when your surgeries are completed.
