Congrats Amy and welcome to our little corner of the world.

Congratulations on the surgery date.  I am still in the initial stages of gathering all the information my surgeon requires and my insurance requires.
I too love this site, so many helpful people, with all sorts of situations.  They are all a great help with any questions concerning the procedure and what ever else may pop up! 
God Bless  you and be with you with your surgery.  Farmgirl58

Hi

I am Tara a 40 year old mother of 2 girls and I have my surgery on Dec 2. I am excited nervous and happy. Alot of emotions. I am on the Atkins diet now and it's pretty rough. my doctor requires that before surgery did you have to do a special protien diet before surgery?

My pre-op diet starts atleast 8 days before surgery although I am going to start it the day after Thanksgiving, and it is atleast 6 packets of sugar free instant breakfast a day, along with my water or other clear no calorie liquid.   

I've done the Atkins, good luck with that, and good luck with surgery soon!!!!!!

I could do the liquids but the atkins seem so unhealthy before surgery all that meat is questionable. I will see my surgery again on Tuesday before my surgery on Dec 2 and I am going to ask him about it again. I pretty much dealing with a lot of emotions and I really kinda going day by day because of my children I am nervous and worried but I am excited and happy of the idea that I can be healthy again and be able to do things with them I use to with out giving out of breath or my feet or legs hurting. I am just dealing within myself.
