 Awesome news Todd!!!  Use this time to get your head where it needs to be for post op life. Cut down on the carbs, sweets, soda, caffeine, alcohol, etc.  Start or continue to exercise.  The more you lose now, the better and easier the surgery will be.


I'm so happy for you!!! 

MANY CONGRATS ON YOUR DATE

Congrats, your date will be here in the blink of an eye

YAY! Congrats!! I cried the day I got my date - it is an exciting day.

I agree with Lisa - live your  life now like a post op - it will make everything a whole lot easier and more successful. It will also make your surgery easier on your Dr.

Congratulations Swede

     Your surgery is four days after my birthday.  I also agree with the other posters about starting to cut back on some of the things that aren't so good for you.  The cleaner your system is of the toxins from sugar, carbs, alcohol etc. the easier the weight will come off and the recovery will be.  We will all know to make room for you on the loser's bench.  Take care.

Way to go Swede.  Congrats bro!  I agree with the rest, start living a post-op life now and it will be easier when you have your surgery.  Good luck!

Sooooo excited to see this post!!  Congrats, Swede!  And ditto ditto ditto to what everyone else has said about living "post op" as closely as possible now.  I did it (mostly) by cutting out caffeine, soda etc.  I started planning my meals and trying not to deviate.  I also made my portions smaller (not as small as a true post op, but less than what I was normally eating) and eating every couple of hours to get used to that routine.  In all honesty, that was (and sometimes still is) the hardest part.

CONGRATS again!!

Thank you all sooo much for your advice and support.  I got more emotional from reading your posts than I did from talking to the doc and getting my date.  I seriously appreciate each and every one of you for taking the time to reply to my posts and for caring about me, my health and my future.
Swede

Awesome !!
