I am officially scheduled for gastric bypass Wednesday December 04 with George Eid at West Penn hospital. Any surgery twins?????

Omygoodness, Dec 10th get here, for some reason today I am really struggling with my 14 day preo-op diet. I have been strictly sticking to eating chicken breast, fish, zero fat cottage cheese, peaches, green beans, brussel sprouts, sugar free jello, banana small, strawberries, egg whites and my unjury protein shakes. Today I broke down and had my husband fix me an egg beaters omelette with onion, bell peppers and a couple pinches of shredded cheese, I am craving a hershey's chocolate bar like crazy! I just keep thinking of all of the things I will not be able to have and it is driving me crazy the closer my time is nearing! I just want my surgery to go well and not worry about my liver being in the way! URGGGGGGHHHHHHHH The kids had a Digiornois pizza and I wanted some sooooooo badly, just one piece and I got ran out of the kitchen. Just like the other day, they had cheesy sausage I did not touch them. I am losing all self control because I know I cannot have it!

You can make it through this! You are doing great so far so keep up the good work.

Hi, I am new to this site. I am 34 and starting weight was 281. I am scheduled for the sleeve on Dec 9th. My meal plan was 1 week 3 shakes/smoothies and a small meal and 1 week five shakes no meals.. The first few days were bad but not so bad anymore. Two days before surgery start all liquid diet! I have lost 6lbs during two week pre op diet so far. This site is so up-lifting. Thank you to all the previous post and good luck on your Journey. I look forward to reading everyone's stories.

I’m scheduled for Dec 11 so very excited, one week away and it can’t get here fast enough. Liver reduction is doing well, and I’ve begun making recipes and freezing for future meals for after surgery. I’ve even started going thru my clothes and weeded out my fat clothes I’ve already grown out of. I did save my biggest pair of fat jeans and top so I can show where I came from when this is all over with. I’m so looking forward to a healthier active life. Best wishes everyone

That's a good idea to hold onto the biggest pants and top to compare down the road!

Welcome @Ash84623!!! This site has helped me a lot. I have chosen to not tell many people about what I'm doing. My husband and mother are the only ones that know. It's good to be able to come to this site and see how I'm feeling in someone else's post. I don't feel so weird with the thoughts I have lol. I'm wrapping up day 4 of my 2 week diet. I'm done about 3-4 lbs so far. Today was a much easier day considering my husband and kids had pizza for dinner. I had a small portion of steak and raw cauliflower. I did steal some mushrooms off of my husband's pizza. Currently drinking peppermint tea to curve this head hunger.

I’m freaking out a little. Surgery 12/9 and my husband has the flu. I got the flu shot, but that’s no guarantee. I’ve been wearing a mask when I bring him soup and medicine, but I’m so stressed, I really want a cheeseburger! I hate that he feels bad, but I do not want to have to get delayed, or start over n the liquid diet. Gotta get him well, and keep myself well!

I’ll pray for you that it happens I too had problems mine were fertility and had to be on fertility meds that was 25 yrs ago and I have twins boy / girl 25 yrs old so it can happen good luck with both your surgery and eventually being a parent.

Mine is 12/10 and I'm more than anxious. Hang in there. ❤️?

I'm scheduled for December 11th, my head is spinning just a little. I was originally scheduled for 12/23, but my surgeons office called me yesterday afternoon to move my procedure to 12/11....... I'm glad I won't be in the hospital over the holidays, but ever so slightly stressed.

Don’t worry surgery twin!! Everything will work out. At least you get to spend your holidays with your family!
