I got a date December 15

I am so excited!!!

I'm on the 15th too!  can't wait to get this thing started!!

Me too! I have been cleaning and organizing at home and work. There are so many last minute things, I have lists made...lol! Plus I am on this site all the time, there is always something interesting on here!

I'm with you on the 15th also... ready to get on with it too !  Once you make the decision and commit to it the hard part is waiting for the day...

But like everyone else I've been reading all I can and everything I can about the do's and don'ts and stocking up on all the post-op supplies!

Good Luck to all of us !
 

I am scheduled for the 15th too at NMCSD in San Diego. I am excited but nervous too. Good luck all.

I am set for surgery on December 11, and have also begun getting ready.  Going shopping for the foods/soups for right after surgery.  I am looking forward to Thanksgiving and have made a mental list of foods I am going to enjoy before surgery.  This is the beginning of a new and exciting chapter of my life that I was afraid would never come.

I am also dec 11th! yay

I am having all of my pre-op tests tomorrow, and will start my liquid diet on Dec. 1 to get ready for surgery. I know I won't lose 45 pounds before surgery, so you should be so proud of yourself.  I am scared I won't lose the 10 lbs. the dr. wants me to lose.  You are doing a great job already.  Wish me luck.

Tammy!!  We have the same dr and are four days apart!!  I have to start my LD on the 1st too.  Dr. F wanted me to lose 10 pounds b4 surgery but while on my 6 month diet I actually gained 7.  So I am freaking that I have to lose 17 pounds now.  Do you think he will cancel it if we dont lose the weight?

I too was told he wanted me to lose 10 lbs. before surgery, and I am scared about what if I can't....I am hoping that he wouldn't just cancel the surgery, but I guess it can happen.  That is my worst fear, so I am gearing up to stick to it not matter what.  I will be buying protein this weekend, and I will share anything I find that is good.  I am always welcoming advice as well.
