Topic: RE: July 13, 2011 is the date!
Well I'm on my way to the grocery store to get all the things I'll need to eat for 12 days of this lowfat diet! UGH....soupy Cream of Wheat and Oatmeal with no flavor is something I'm not looking forward too. But this is two of the things I'll be eating after surgery, so I might as well get use to it.
I keep looking at the chicken broth in my cabinet wondering should I go ahead today and open a can for dinner.

Hello I am looking for people who live in the Warren and Center Line area who are preparing for weight loss surgery or had the surgery. Possibly you are having it at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital on E. 10 Mile in Center Line or you had it there. I am preparing for surgery and even though I don't have my exact date as of yet I would like to keep in touch with others that are like me or was like me. Serious replies only please, maybe this summer we could form a walking group and just support each other through our journey of getting healthy.
Please contact me via email, if you are seriously interested in forming this group.
Thanks!

I'm on day for of my diet and I am ready to rip heads off. My diet is strictly shakes, water and broth.
I was allowed to take a small prescription of xanex. It's nothing major and it definitely takes the edge off.

:) I have the same thoughts... its frustating because you see so many people who don't have a problem and then there are people like me - I want to not eat the wrong things or at least keep it in moderation and my stomach tells me I am hungry all the time :)

Hi Marcia! Thanks I wish you luck as well! I've been having doubts every now and then thinking to myself do I really need to do this? Why can't I just eat the way I would if I had the surgery? Stuff like that....but how long would I be able to keep it up if I didn't have the surgery?
I'm having the surgery because I couldn't stop eating the wrong things and not moving like I should. I'm just prayerful and trying to keep an open mind.

"I am not fat. I am a nutritional overachiever. "
Bleh. I started mine today. I was told 8oz of skim milk with 1 scoop of the Bariatric Advantage meal replacement. Me, being a fat kid, decided to pick chocolate. ITS GROSS! I told my mom I would rather starve than drink it! Although I might not be saying that tomorrow ^_^ Is anyone else having a hard time drinking it? Its VERY thick for me and I have to gag it down :(

Wow I don't think I would make it through 2 weeks of liquid diet. My pre-op diet is 5 days before surgery - I am nervous that I will be so hungry I can't stand it. Good to see people on here that have been there and done it gives me hope I can do it too.

My surgery date is for July 13th as well out here in California. And I think it's normal for you to feel nervous. I met a few people who have dates close by mine and they are nervous as well. Something new, a change always causes doubts and nervousness you wouldn't be normal otherwise :) Take care and good luck you will do great :)
