Oct 13th!!!

Hey there surgery date buddy.   Me too!!!    October 13th

Aren't you excited? Which procedure are you having? Do you have to do the protien shakes for 2 weeks before your surgery?

I am in "get ready mode" and not focusing on the actualy surgery.   I have spent the last three years deciding to have WLS and it seems once I made the firm decision WLS was my only option to get this weight off . . . January 2009 .  . . . . things have just fallen into place quite nicely.  I waivered between LapBand and Gastic Bypass.    After much internal debate, I have gone with the Laproscopic Gastric Bypass.    

I am having my pre-op Doc appointment next Wednesday and figure I will get the info about the pre-surgery diet.  I have been trying all kinds of different protien(s) shakes to find the best tasting . . . so I think I am good to go in that area. 

I'll be watching for your progress posts! 

Well good luck to you and God bless the Surgeon doing your procedure. My pre op appointment is the 29th and that's also the day I start my shakes.

I'm having the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy.

I look forward to your progress posts as well.

May I add you to my friends? I only have one other person on there so far and she is a real life friend of mine that is having the same procedure as me. 

Me toooo Im in the October 13 club.

Hi Rhonda,

Laura

We will all have this journey date in common!

Keep me posted please.

My date is the 13th as well i am so nervous and anxious at the same time!!! Any good tips. Have you already started shopping for things like food contains scales and measuring cups? I feel lost on that part...

Hey there surgery date buddy... congratulations on your date! No, I haven't started shopping yet, I'm so last minute here. I have started my list though. I started my protein shakes today and I'm having a hard time choking them down...I hope this gets easier to stomach...lol. In the long run I'm sure I'll look back on this and thank myself for the torture of choking them down. Good luck on your journey. Keep me posted.
