Topic: Surgery date November 15th!
Hi everyone, I am having my surgery Nov 15th and would like to connect with others in the San Fernando Valley having bariatric surgery. I am also looking for a support group closer to my home than the one my physician offers as its too far during the week for me to attend.
If anyone has suggestions or some good recipies I would love to hear them.
I am also getting nervous.. but am very excited!

Congrats to all having surgery this month!

My surgery was supposed to be end of Sept., then in Oct. Now it is set for Nov. 9. Two days before my daughter's wedding! I tried to get it changed and it is then or December.

I joined the group for fall 2011 surgeries. It will be nice to keep in touch with people that are at about the same milestones as me. http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/Fall_2011_WLS/

My surgeon just told me to go on low carb until my surgery. I acne doing similar to you. Protein shake for breakfast and lunch and a low carb dinner. For snack I have fiber one yogurt, string cheese or almonds.

YES!!!!  I have my surgery date November 2nd.  Yeahhhh!!!!..  I just got back today, I had the sleep study last night and I have been equiped with a c-pac machine.  Let me tell you that it made all the difference in the world.  Last night was the 1st time in years that I woke up not tired and feeling like going to bed.

I am sticking to the liquid diet having 3 protein shales a day and I supplement in between with oatmeal, sf smoothies, sf popsyciles, itialan ice, fat free cream of mushroom soup, fat free cream of chicken soup, fat free chickem broth.  I do not miss meat or the snacks, candy or cookies, so thats great.  Hopefully after the surgery I will continue the same good choices.

It is hard, like today we went to Sams Club today and it was food day.  They were giving out samples of everything even fresh boiled jumbo shrimp.  I was very good and did not cheat.

We all will be having the surgery all around the same time, this is so great, we can be each other's online support system.

I am looking forward to reading and learning new receipes.  I seen a few good ones on this site. 

Good luck to all of us and lets stick to it.  No cheating (I want to so bad, I love pistacho's and pecans, my weakness for sure!!)
Take Care,
Deb

Hi:) How's your diet thus far? Did they put you on a liquid diet? My surgery is the day after yours. My diet began on the 19th of Oct.

How are you doing so far? Did you have to use a liquid diet or anything?
I'm on a protein shake twice a day and an Atkins meal once a day. I swear I almost cheated last night. We had Halloween candy in the house!!! And it was staring straight at me.
