Got the phone call from the pre-op surgical nurse today to ensure that they have all of my paperwork, and bloodwork in, i am so excited, my husband and I put together the "Liquid Menu" for the next month and are getting the ingrediants together to fix the broths so that they will be ready in serving size for when I come home...

we have put together these so far...

Collard & Kale Juice (made from fresh greens and pork neckbones)

Protien sugar free jello - using clear protien with jello mix

I am scheduled for 8/17/09 pending insurance approval...still waiting <tapping foot>:biggrin:

My surgery is on August 17. I'm so freaken excited but depressed because I am on the medifast shakes to loose 15 lbs and I miss my food :biggrin:

Only 1 week and 1 day!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck every one, we will be making some big changes!!

I just found out that my surgery date is August 12th:thumbup:! I have to call my doctor to get a physical and schedule my ekg and bloodwork. I am starting my 2 week liquid diet today!

I will be banded in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic by Dr. Joseph Manuel Ramirez Kubicek on the 11th., I am following the only protein diet for this week, and from the 3 of august only mushy, liquids and NO CARBS, NO Sweets, NO Meat diet. Any ideas for this mushy, blended protein diet?

Hope everything goes well with all of us.

Scheduled for August 28th with Dr. Michael Feiz.

My 22nd birthday is on August 25th so no cake for me this year... :juggle:

I'm pretty nervous ><

August 4th is coming so fast. Only 6 more days. Ok, here's the question, am I the only one who has a "to do" list that they want to do before they go in for surgery and do not know how they are going to get it all done? I'm not usually obsessive about cleaning but I want everything to be perfectly clean when I come home so that I can really feel like I'm getting a fresh start and to top it all off my nerves are starting to kick in.....:juggle:

Aug 7th and Im scared out of my gourd!!!

All pre-op tests done today...

See doctor & anaesthetist on Monday morning the 3rd Aug, then green light until op on 13th August. Waking up to Optifast shakes x 2 and 2 cups steamed veggies per day. I can handle it. I have to.

Daughter is going to do Optifast with me in sympathy.

Well it looks like we are all getting set for the best thing since bread was sliced and put in a bag...

Cheers and good luck to ALL!!!!

Will be watching keenly for feedback from the early starters :juggle:

I am going into day 6 of pre op diet and it is not bad now . they first 3 days were horrible. It helps i finally found a protein shake I like. Good luck everyone our Month is almost here. YEAHHHHHHHHHH

August 3rd!!!
