So who all is having surgery next week (March 28 - April 1)?
Mine is next Friday 4/1
How're you feeling?
nervous but so ready to have it done.
Have you started your clear liquids yet?
I only have to do clear liquids the day before.
Do you have to do a bowel prep?
oh no thank goodness. I hear they are not fun
Are you psyched or scared or both?
I am ok as long as I don't think about it too too much. I tend to worry about all kinds of stupid things so I am not thinking about the surgery as much as what I need to do after Friday
Do you have all your protein shakes and stuff? What did you get? What vitamins and other supps did you get?
I have a bunch of different protiens. My favorite right now is body fortress vanilla, since I can mix it with different stuff and be ok. i also have a sample pack of nectar on the way to see what those are like. As far as vits I only have my multi right now as my doc wants me to start all others after my check up. I also went and got jello, broth, bought out the crystal light decaf tea, things I knew I would need after and that hubby wouldnt know to get or bless his heart would get me the wrong thing.
How much have you lost since your high weight? What type of pre-op diet were you on?
I am down almost 20 pounds since I started the 6 months..most have been since I started drinking protien shakes to get used to them. No pre-op diet at all
And ..... anybody want to share before pics??? James is going to take some this weekend..not looking forward to it but I need to do it.
Mine is next Friday 4/1

can i get in on this? i am having surgery on the 4th? close enough ha hah ...
anyhow i found out late monday at like about 430 that i had to start the pre op on tuesday morning...was not totally prepared, but i had been getting some protein samples and such...the main problem was i had to go in that tuesday morning for the fasting blood work..ok fine, usually when i go to the base i am in and out fairly quick...NOT THIS TIME...2.5 hrs later i am finally done, my sugar is in the tank and i cant eat...my pre op has a specific food plan..i missed the morning and snack protein drinks, my lunch was to be a yougurt and fruit..i at least brought that in a little cooler..i did bring a nectar protein sample to make, but have not had a shaker bottle yet..so i went 2 doors down to GNC to get one...went straight into bathroom to rinse bottle out and make shake...well, the lid was not on totally tight and when i went to shake it...well yeppes, all over me, sink, mirror...just a mess, people were looking at me...did not have the right directions to make drink so i used twice the water so it was very watered down tasting..but was ok...i had other errands that were pre planned that i had to get done that day so i did not get home until 430 with only the yogurt and apple to eat...i was STARVING by the time i got home..
my pre op, i get to have a dinner 4 oz of lean meat, 4 oz of vegge and 1/2 cup whole grane starch or 1 slice of whole grain bread...all i had that was simple and kinda ready was home made chicken chili so i have just a cup of that, it was wonderful...
today has been pretty normal, i look forward to my lunch and dinner i get to eat.. and one snack in the afternoon, i get to have 1 oz of nuts or 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and fruit..so i am thankful i get a little to eat...
i have no idea if i have a bowl prep, i meet with the surgeon on tuesday so i will find out then,
yes i am nervous, scared, excited all rolled up into one..
i was 295 back at my PCM drs appt on dec 10, the first day of my pre op, i was at 281..i was really cutting back on my portions and was trying to eat a high protein..
i hope it was ok to get in on your thread since i am close..i have been known to be a party crasher.. ha ha
have a great day

So who all is having surgery next week (March 28 - April 1)? I'm having mine on Tuesday the 29th.
How're you feeling? Anxious as heck!
Have you started your clear liquids yet? Yes, I started on 3-21-11, I can have protein shakes, broths, and one protein bar a day. Also, all the SF pops and jello i want including water. This Monday is all clear liquids, so I think I'm just going to drink water all day to play it safe since I also have to drink two bottles of laxative on that day.
Do you have to do a bowel prep? Yes. 2 bottles of laxative
Are you psyched or scared or both? Both, been going crazy for the last five days.
Do you have all your protein shakes and stuff? What did you get? What vitamins and other supps did you get? I have Isopure, Syntrax, and Six Star protein mix. I have some vitamin samples, Centrum Silver, Biotin, and D3. Still need to get others and work out a daily regimen for getting in all my supplements.
How much have you lost since your high weight? What type of pre-op diet were you on?
I have lost 17 lbs total, just with water Zumba, and water Aerobics
And ..... anybody want to share before pics??? Don't know how to place within text but, there's one before pic in my profile.
