Topic: RE: October 7th
There are two things I want to have prior to surgery... knowing that I won't be able to eat like this again. I want a Clambake... lobster, shrimp, clams, mussels, sausage & corn on the cob and then I want to go to the Melting Pot for one of their meals.
I know afterwards (many months afterwards) I'll be able to eat those type of things, but not all at once and it's how I've been accustomed to eating.
I haven't done any protein drinks ,though I did try a protein bar and thought it tasted like dirt.
I'm sure I'll find protein that I can handle and even enjoy. I have been practically memorizing eggface's recipes for protein shakes!
I'm not having a VSG, I'm going a RNY.. though it's still nice to talk with someone who is having surgery the same day and knowing we will be going through the same types of things at the same time!
Maybe we should exchange phone numbers so we can talk to one another in the hospital. How long will you be in afterwards?

Topic: RE: Sleeve or Gastric Bypass
I had done alot of research and was sure that the sleeve was for me....well my surgeon discussed all options with me again and we decided that I will have better results with the RNY. The malabsorbtion worried me but he assured me I would do fine. I have a BMI of 58 and he felt that I needed the more aggressive of the procedures to be as successful as I am aiming to be.....
All in all you need to decide what is right for you. I do notice though that alot of insurances are denying the sleeve as experimantal-which is so not the case. I cannot self pay and I know my insurance will cover the RNY for me so that helped me in my final decision.

LAST MEAL? Too Funny! Well there are so many options but one is Biaggi's. OMG they have the best Italian there. Oh, and throw in a movie with some popcorn. That would be my first thought but honestly I don't know. What about you?
I have already been doing protein shakes for breakfast. I hear that taste buds change so I hope I still like these after surgery!
I am very very excited! 33 days! Its awesome to have a sleever sister too!

Oh Congrats!!! 
We'll be Surgery-Sisters!!! I'm looking forward to it also, though I'm sure October 7th will come quick for both of us!
Have you given any thoughts to your "last" meal and what it will be?

My date is October 7th. I actually just got it yesterday afternoon. I will start a clear liquid diet on Sept 25th though. It's required by my surgeon to help shrink the liver so they can get to the stomach plus they would like me to lose 20-30lbs before surgery too.
I'm very excited!!!!

When is your date? I haven't heard anything regarding a liquid diet beforehand for my surgery. Is that for practice or are they encouraging you to lose weight before surgery?
