Surgery buddy over here!

We'll be starting a new and undoubtedly spectacular chapter of our lives on Wednesday and I wish you an uneventful surgery and a super-speedy recovery!

I've been on a Dr recommended liquids-only diet for 3 weeks and I'm MORE than ready to get this show on the road! 

I've been doing the roller coaster of emotions but am really lucky to have a very good friend come with me to the hospital and wait for me to go in.  She's had the lap band surgery so essentially knows what I'm going to be feeling and will be a great comfort.

How long is your hospital stay?  I have been told that I'll be discharged Friday morning at 11 AM.  One week from now we'll be well on our way to recovery and just past a very significant milestone in our lives.

Best wishes and take care!

Rosemary

 Congrats to you!!  I'm on the 8th!  Good luck to you on your surgery!

Hi, I'm new to this website, and my date is 8 Dec too! I started my pre-op diet yesterday, and I can't seem to find any of the protein shakes that taste good. I'm not a milk drinker either, but have managed to get down 8 oz of 1% milk with a scoop of protein powder. I'm suppose to drink 5 shakes a day, but only managed 3 yesterday.

I'm December 17 too!  It's getting close!! 

Just around the corner and I'm completely excited!!!   I do have some nervousness but it's all normal and I know I'll be fine. I have utter confidence in my surgeon and am grateful for this opportunity to regain my life!

Good Luck to all those with upcoming dates!!!!!!
