I am scheduled for May

[weightisover 4]

I'm scheduled for May 19th and have no pre-diet requirements although i plan on trying to eat more healthy prior to that date. I am going to start weaning myself off my starbucks (waaaaa) starting tomorrow. Can't believe it's almost here!!

My doctor also did not give me a pre-op diet. But my research shows that the less fatty the liver, the easier the surgery and recovery. So I am trying to shrink my liver for that purpose. I've cut out carbs and sweets. I mostly drink Protein Shakes. I buy from this company I am involved in that has a really good shake- mocchachino!!! MMMMmmm. But it is rather tedious and I slipped again last night from the shakes, but in an acceptable way. I had a turkey patty, a slice of Tomato and cottage cheese. Plus, as of today, I've lost 4 lbs! Yeah!

Weightisover: you should take the money that you are saving from Starbucks and start a "new wardrobe" fund!!! You'll be surprised at how fast the $$$ adds up!!!

Angelic 1 what is the name of the shakes you are on?

I can not believe my ticker will say 1 month tomarrow!!! And some of you are this week!! I have had my date for like forever........and now it is almost here!!!

ALSO that means school is out for me!!!! WOHOOO!!! This has been such a hard year for me and I am so ready for some "home" time....

My doc doesn't really require a pre op diet either but starting tomarrow I am doing 2 shakes a day and one "Lean and Green" meal.

I have been sorta on the same plan since Dec. but only had 1 shake and 2 lean and green meals so now I will modify that....I think I have eaten all my favorites by now and am ready for no more "last suppers".

The only hard part will be ALL the end of school events...like I have at least 1 function a week for the next 4 weeks...so I just need to plan NOT TO EAT the junk!!!

Good Luck all you May Flowers!!!

Ok, now it is down to the home stretch!! I didn't even have time to think about the surgery over the weekend because I was so busy!! Now I am in "nesting" stage trying to get everything "ready" before I am out of commission on Thursday!!!

3 days will fly by!!! I am finally on my way!!!

Still not nervous. I'm sure I'll get a little nervous right before they put me under, but then it will be over!!! :wink2:

No date yet, :wink2: I've had all my testing done for about a week and a half now, I am probably going to call the surgeons office today and just make sure they have everything. I really want to get in there and see him so I can get the ball rolling! I have finals coming up in the next couple weeks and TONS of papers and projects and such to finish so I am super stresssed out right now, it would be a nice relief to finally have a date :tt2:

Anyways, good luck again to everyone with dates coming so soon!!! Bandfan, I can't wait to hear about how everything goes!!!

I work for a company that you have to be a member with in order to buy. It is internet order and basically asks you to switch shopping at other stores for some of the items that you use regularly. They sell nutrition items, cleaning items, body care items and more. And their products are safer for the environment than most found in stores. If anyone is really interested, private message me and I'll help you sign up.

Allison, also try calling your insurance company to make sure they have your paperwork. And ask if there is anything else you can do to help speed the process up.

Good luck!

Well, I am another May 1ster! The last 7 days have been tough on the liquad diet but, it got easier as it went. I am very excited but, think I'll also get worried when they are ready to put me out. That and I hope I don't have all the gas pain I've been reading about. I love this place. It is a great support system for all of us! :biggrin:
