July 12th for me guys

I just got a call so I'm very excited and nervous.

Me too! 15 days and counting! I can't wait! What are you doing to keep busy in the meantime? I'm planning a cookout for July 7th, then after it's over I'll have 5 days to keep myself busy! Maybe I'll sew something, or list stuff on ebay?

I need to get some things in order and I want to exercise as much as I can. I would like to have a date with my husband between now and then. I heard of someone going to a hockey game the night before to ward off nerves.

CONGRATS, HA!!!! Isn't it exciting? I felt the same way when I got my call My date is on the 10th and I can't wait! I've been trying to keep my mind of surgery but it's sooooooo hard! I started my 2 wk liquid diet yesterday and am focusing on one day at a time! Do you have to do one too? Good luck to you and keep us posted! Take care, Jean

I have my pre op today. I guess I will. Is it hard to stay focused and drink only liquids? I would guess this is protein?

Check with your surgeon, cuz it seems that many of them have different guidelines for the LD. I can have 3 protein drinks per day, SF popsicles, SF jello, Crystal lite and other SF liquids and broth. I am using Slim Fast with protein (the cappachino is good). I am just trying not to think about food (HARD) and keep busy. No probs with concentration or energy yet. Take care, Jean

Humm, How did I get the 7/12/07 on my RNY date? I was looking yesterday and couldn't find how to do it.

Me Too.. but no liquid diet for me.. I kinda feel left out..

I do clear liquids two days prior. I'm substituting a meal with liquid protein now. Trying to lose as much as I can before surgery.
