Topic: RE: 2 months out
I am curious how food tasted to you when you were able to add soft food. Did you like the same things you did before or did your taste change?

Hi Ladies,

I am glad that we can go along together on this journey!

I have been doing some of the same things you guys are doing, like chewing my food.  I feel like I am ready to do this, but that I really do not comprehend how much my life is going to change.  Do you guys feel like that too?  I have been reading these boards, other sites and know what I need to do, but feel overwhelmed.

I have been working one my meal plans for the first 8 eight weeks.  Hopefully, the foods will agree with me.  I am going to the Nutritionist on Tuesday to go over them.

I do not think I have to go on a liquid dietl.  I have my final Dr. appt on November 11th, so I will find out then. 

Tell me about how you are doing?

Topic: RE: how are you handling the liquid pre-op diet
I'll be starting my 2 week pre-op diet next Friday.  I think I'm ready, but know it will be challenging!  I don't know all the details yet as I meet the NUT on 11/5.  I believe I'll get to have 4-6 oz of protein per day, unlimited raw veggies, very limited carbs/fruits, and protein shakes.  Keep your eye on the big picture and hang in there!

Topic: RE: Nov 24th with Dr. Marshall, Brith control question, help!!
I was on the shot for two years or so, had hge wieght gain and migraines and had to stop.  Sounds like alot of people are using iud's, that kinda of scares me though.  I have a pre-op appointment with my surgeon on 11/11, I will ask him about the absoption thing.  What kind of surgery did you have?  I am having a lap-band, I wonder if the type of bariatric surgery makes a difference for this.  Thanks for your help and encouragement!

Topic: RE: November is Days Away. Please share your feelings about your surgery.
I received my surgery date a month ago. Then it was a little un-real. I would think ,okay in a month I'm going to have lap RNY but the date was weeks away. Now it's a few days away and I'm a little scared. But my emotions are really all over the place.
