Topic: RE: does everyone have a pre op diet?????

I have a pre op diet and I'm starting it tomorrow morning. My surgery date is Sept. 13th too!!

I just had my pre op appointment at the weight loss surgery clinic and at the hospital on Thursday. Then by suppertime of the day before I switch to all clear liquids and stop eating and drinking at midnight except for sips of water to take my morning medications.

Topic: RE: Surgery date Sept 8th!!! I am so nervous!

Hi Georgia! Wow, this site is great for support and finding people in similar situations.. I love the bariatric team at Sinai. I never imagined that it would be so easy to get approval, but Eileen is the best. She has it down to a science, thats for sure. I have had all good experiences with the entire team, so I have no complaints. I look forward to getting Thursday over with and be on the loosing side. Whooo hoo, only 5 days to go. I have my pre-op appts on Tuesday, and I just found out that my sugar was very high on a glucose tolerance test that I took at the same time as my blood work last Wednesday. I don't know what that means, but I guess its good that I will not be having any sugar any time soon after surgery. How about your experiences at Sinai? I hope all is well girlfriend, we will so have to keep in touch through this process, same state, surgeon, timeframe...that's awesome. Talk to you soon! Debbie

Topic: September 18th date!! Time to celebrate!!!

Anyone else have the same day? I'm so very excited!! My kids ask me if it is going to hurt and I believe it may but I have to admit humor and tell myself that if I can push a baby out of my body without drugs, then I can do just about anything!!! I hope you all are coping by humor and visualizing the light at the end of the journey. This surgery will change us forever and I just can't wait to get over the first month! Good luck and think thin!!

Topic: RE: Surgery on the 12th - NERVOUS!

Hi, Heather! I am nervous, but with everyone's support, I know I can do it. That's great that you have reached your goal..wow! I only hope that I can follow. I will try to remember to take pictures/measurements the night before. Sometimes you mind can play tricks on you and you don't see the loss. If I take pictures, I will be able to tell. I plan on keeping on my exercise routine and working with the tool to be healthy again. Thanks so much for the inspiration! Jodi

Hi Stepanie Can you share what the liver shrinking diet is? I would be interested in finding out since my surgeon talked about how the size of the liver may make an open procedure necessary.........my BMI is 50( I'm scheduled for 9/13) Georgia
