Sept 13 Bypass day!

It took forever to put the paperwork together, but only 30 days for insurance to decide. I go in for the pre op appt on the 8th and surgery 5 days later.  So excited, I can hardly contain myself.

I am happy for you, I have my surgery the same day.

Hi we have so mu*****omon.. I also have may pre op on the 8th and surgery 5 days later also. I am super excited i can't wait 2 start my new life. We must keep in touch... Take care of your self

How wonderful were sharing the same date Im getting mines done as well on the 13th how exciteing

Are you on a pre-op diet?  I have nothing, but was thinking of starting a liquid diet two weeks before.

Ok Im going to start my pre-op diet stating the 6th I dont know if I can handle just liquid but I have no choice Im going to push myself cause it took me too long to come this far and then be a disappoinmet to myself ...Im hope your doing well I go to my pre-op on Tuesday to get my EKG and Blood work done and Im getting a tour of the hospital..

On Monday, I started two shakes and one protein packed, low fat meal for this week.  My day of pre op is on the 8th, whi*****ludes seeing the surgeon again, NUT class and then off to the hospital for final lab work.  I am so excited!  I purchased some purse size mixers, but I will tell you the water bottle is great for the protein drinks because it hides the smell.  I had to fly this week and usually have swollen ankles. This time, no swelling!  I am actually already feeling better.   

I'm having  bypass on the 13th too.  I have mandatory liquid diet starting on Monday.  I guess I will have time to get used to protein shakes.
