Nov 5th is my surgery date!

HOORAY!  I this has been a long time in the making and I am so excited!  Any fellow Nov 5th sx days out there?  I went to the support group that my surgeon offers and I am so looking forward to this!  Seeing the progress of others is so motivating!  Granted we are all different but I so need this change in my life!

You're excited and I'm getting a bit nervous.  My date is set for Nov. 6th.  I have 3 appts to do prior to surgey to complete.   Physical w/my reg doc, appt w/nutrionist, and pre-op with the doc.  I need to go to a grp so I can get excited again, because it's been a long time coming.  I started this process back in October 2008.  Thanks for sharing and for listening!!!

Really?  A whole year!  That is a long time to wait!  I understand what you are saying about being nervous!  I have those same feelings often.  But I keep telling myself that I should be really excited about this!  It does get hard...but going to group I think does help a lot.  To see others successes is motivating! :)  Well we are in the same boat pretty much!  What hospital are you going to?

I am also Nov 5th. It is coming up so fast and the closer it is the more excited I am!!

Good luck to you

WooHoo!!!!  My date is Nov 4.  I am just really nervous right now. 

Good luck to everyone!

MY SURGERY DATE IS ALSO ON THE 5TH - I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT - A LITTLE SCARED ..... I WILL NEED HELP. I DO NOT HAVE MUCH SUPPORT ON THE HOME FRONT. I AM LEARNING THE WEBSITE , BUT WELCOME THE FRIENDS AND ADVICE.... I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS SO FAR.... WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR A PRE-OP DIET AND WHAT KIND OF PROTEIN POWDER ARE YOU USING.....

LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SUPPORT
THANKS :)

My surgeon has a meal package that he requires we purchase to allieviate confusion.  But It is called Ultra Meal. It is a medical food.  It is satisfying.  But still not easy.  I am never reall hungery but I miss food.  LOL  I drink 3 shales a day and have 2 protien bars allon with 64 ounces of water and 6 vitamins per day.  I am allowed clear sugarfree liquids and brooth.  Also sugarfree popcicles.  I hope that this helps.  I think that when I add up all the calories it is something like 850 calories per day.  Not much I fatigue easily now.  :)  Best of luck to you and we are here if you need us!

Nov 5th is my day too!!!!

I'm so excited. Trying hard to stay on the pre op. I know it's important, but having to cook for your family and not eat what you're cooking isn't easy.  But I'm working myself around it. Realized last night, that I need to only cook enough for them. No extra pieces etc....

Regardless...I can't wait. There are people trying to talk me out of it, but it just seems as if they'd rather I stay this way. But I'm not allowing any of that talk to bother me. My husband supports me and my boys.

1 week from today!!!!!!!!,...our journey continues!

my day is Nov.6. I'm also very excited, but I think,  even more scared. Im also MD and that is why I think about all complications, that I know about. Anyway , all the best to u. Talk to you AFTER
