Hi everyone, My insurance approved the surgery and it'll be April 4th at OHSU with Dr. Deveney. I can't believe it's actually happening! Woo hoo!

Thanks Linda! The coordinator told me that I need to stick to a 1200 calorie diet until surgery. I have no idea how I will do that, but I will just have to try.

I am struggling to do the diet Shannon Rentz,dietician at OHSU gave me. So far after 1 week I fell off by a few 100 cals. each day but lost 4 lbs.....chew slowly, sip lots of water. Are you having DS surgery? I have Dr. Deveny on Mar. 30th for DS! Also, did you get breathing exercises (blowing up balloons 5-10 times a day) and etc. ?

Hi there, I will having the RNY. No breathing exercises for me. Thanks for the tips on chewing slowly and sipping water. I'm working on it. As long as I can stay away from the Schnitzelwich cart I think I'll be fine!
