WOOHOO!!!

I'm glad I found this board! I was finally approved this past week and my date is Feb 16th. I'm so excited. The nervousness has not kicked in yet. The only thing I'm nervous about is having to lose 20 lbs before surgery. I put on 10 lbs from the consultation until my approval which was exactly 30 days. Sigh.... =) couple of quick questions for you all - how do you create your journal? I'm pretty good when it comes to computer things and such but for the life of me can't find where to create it! My doc is putting me on a liquid diet two days prior to surgery. Do you all think it would be ok for me to start it like 4 or 5 days beforehand because of the excess weight I need to lose? Thanks for reading this!

Hey there.... My surgery is the same day as yours.... My Dr. put me on a high protein diet.... I have lost over 10lbs. already.... and it has been pretty easy.... I also cut out all of the Diet Pepsi.... Which was all I drank.... But I haven't had any in over 3 weeks..... I think that has helped too!!! Well good luck and god bless!!!! Hugs!!! Lisa

I have been on a high protein liquid diet for 2 weeks.. I have lost 18lbs. I take in 60 gs of protein a day and only about 600 or so calories.
