New surgery date 12/06/11
I am having my surgery December 15th! Yay! After 6 months of jumping through hoops I was able to get my surgery date last week and it's been a week of up & down emotions from excitement to fear. I'm sure everyone is going through the same fear of missing their beloved friend "food". I am just trying not to overindulge. My surgeon cancels your surgery if you gain ANY weight....he says it means that you don't take it seriously. Fingers crossed. I'm so excited for all of us!
Basically I was told to get off the sodas (which I have) and told to find a protein shake with no carbs and no sugar (Isopure is best) and replace one meal/day with it to get used to it. I go in for pre-op the Monday before the surgery (December 12th) and I'm guessing then is when they give you all the stuff to ingest to clean out your system (ewwww). I'm excited for my new life and my new health.
