mine is the 26th... congrats

This is going to be an exciting month.....looking forward to being on the bench with all of you.

First, thank you for all the well wishes and Losers joining me on the bench for October 13th!  

Went for my Pre-Op appointment on Wednesday 10/07 and was informed that they are going to have to move my date to October 26th.  I had already started my pre-op diet because my Doc requested 2 weeks pre op and was being a good patient and doing as told.   So . . . . I decided to stay on the semi-pre op liquid diet with one meal as a freebie for me for the next four days.   What I have discovered it I really don't want the food; it's not appealing to me at all.   Which is OK & I am kinda glad because I am thinking this will make it easier post-op.  

Oh, and for any of you that are worried about Vitamins & Meal Replacements, I tried their sample packet of the different individual servings of meal replacements and they are pretty good!   Just ordered my 3-month supply so that I have them on-hand for post-op and tasted the vitamins.   They are really good!    Here is the site:    http://www.bariatricfusion.com/

Oct 13th WLS friends . . . . save a seat for me!   AND my new friends joining on October 26th!  

My date is Oct 20th also....pre-op is Tuesday. I've been in a 6 month approval process and week 3 of 4 weeks Optifast diet. I like to say i am ready and not nervous but, I am. Good luck to everyone!
