I got a surgery date!!!!

I go in the 4th of February.... I am SO out there right now!!!! So excited, scared, wishful, ohgodhowgoodiwillfeel.........yes yes thank you Lord!

Congrats and best of luck to you!  If you need anything please feel free to contact me.  I had an open RNY in Dec. 06, however I assist a surgeon with lap bandings and would love to learn more about them post op.  Please keep us up to date!  I will keep you in my prayers!

That's wonderful!  I'm so happy for you!  If you have any questions or just need someone to talk to drop me a line.  Good luck to you!

Thank you both for the encouragement! I do have a question though,  I just got my paperwork with my liquid diet in it from Dr O'Brien's office. It tells me what I can/cannot eat but it doesnt really specify how much I can have or if I am supposed to concentrate on proteins first or what?  I am thinking of starting it Sunday but if anything I will call them monday. Thanks again *smile*

If it's a completely liquid diet then it the amount really doesn't matter.  Did he give you any caloric limits?  I was able to avoid the liquid diet by losing 18 pounds on my own in the months before...I was VERY motivated!

it does not matter,just on the malt o meal where it says two servings daily.He is My Doc also.Where are you from in SD.I lost 39 pounds on my pre op diet.You will do great.If you have any qusions just ask or e-mail me.Sandy Hanson [email protected]
