I am eagerly awaiting my transformation to the new healthier, smaller version of myself!!! A little scared, but very excited!!!
Topic: Pre-Op Diet
So I am a few days into my pre-op diet and I'm having some food separation anxieties.
In an effort to thin my "fatty liver", my surgeon requires a 14 day pre-op diet of 3 - 4 protein shakes per day and non-starchy vegetables, fat free broth, sugar free jello and sugar free popsicles.
I started experiencing a headache, the likes of which I have NEVER felt before, sometime yesterday afternoon. I started thinking that perhaps I was dehydrated (even though at that point I had already consumed about 48 oz. of water) and drank another 48 oz. of water with no relief. A few hours later I called it a night and went to bed only to wake up with the same headache.
I made a summer vegetable soup that is quite tasty and I have been eating it and not being HUNGRY per say. But I miss food, for certain. I guess I mostly just wish I had a solution to this wicked headache. Any ideas?

Yeah others have posted! I was going to have a lap-band but changed my mind after read these board and talking to some friends. I don't have a time yet, I will know on Tuesday. I also don't h ave a pre-diet so last night I went out to dinner and had a three couse meal. I just have some M&M's left on my Goodbye Food list.

I agree. Even though a lot of the things we are allowed to have are sugar free they are still really sweet. I can only handle so much sweet stuff on a daily basis. Best of luck to you!
Topic: RE: Surgery in 5 Days!
It's Thursday for me. I'm right there with the both of you...nervous and yet overly excited!
Topic: RE: June 26
Woo hoo! Only 2 more Mondays to go! My surgery is scheduled for June 26 as well! I can't wait!!! I'm so excited to see how great life will be with this new tool!

I couldn't be more thrilled! I have completed all of my pre-operative appointments and blook work and have a for sure scheduled surgery on June 27, 2012. I am doing the RNY Gastric Bypass. I have already started my pre-op diet of protein shakes and vegetables. Turns out, Body Fortress protein powder from Walmart isn't half bad with fat free milk and some ice blended up in a Ninja. Cookies and Cream is my current favorite. My only worry is that over the next 2 weeks I'll get tired of the sweetness.

My surgery is the 19th. I'm also so excited!! Just ready to get show on the road. Although I've cheated the last couple of days - which both annoys me and reminds me this is exactly why I'm doing this!!
