September Surgeries

RNY September 9.  Currently on a 3-week very low calorie diet

September 8 for me! 1 week pre op opti diet down, two to go!

good luck everyone!

Food funeral / farewell tour I like those. I'm kind of glad I didn't get that chance. I got my call at 3 pm worked till 8 went home and had about 3 hours to eat bad and now I'm on my week of protein shakes. I do get to have one chicken breast each day if I want so I have that to look forward to.  

I will tell you that when I got home I had a piece of homemade carrot cake the size of a Volkswagen my daughter made for my birthday on Sunday ! That I will miss. 

The food funeral is tonite for me.  I have been behaving and trying to limit carbs and up the protein for the past six weeks. I lost 12 lbs, but tonight all bets are off!!!! Who am I kidding, after one Margarita I'll be asleep!!!  lol

September Gang Mantra  " We will survive! "

So much for falling asleep after one Margarita. I had 2 along with Fried clams and scallops and a piece of strawberry shortcake for dessert. Left the French fries alone!!  I feel so sluggish today.   :(   2 weeks from today my new life begins.

I like your style Pat! I'm on the farewell to food tour.  Had my pre ops today and nut tomorrow. I know I will be immediately on my 2 week no food liver shrink diet.  So hubby took me out for lunch after the hospital. And now I am enjoying my last couple of glasses of wine.  I just know I will be a dumper.  Insert really sad face.

RNY Sept 29th ( if all goes well with insurance) fingers crossed

Oh boy, first time I'm posting on here! I got my surgery date yesterday. 9/28/16! Barring any last minute Bologna from my insurance, of course. I've been working on this since 12/15, and I'm really excited it's finally feeling real. I had my "last meal" yesterday too, and now it's back to the low carb/low fat I've been doing since February. 

Hi everyone! I'm scheduled for RNY on Sept 16th and on week 2 of 3 liquid diet (5 Ensure/day, sugar free non-carbonated drinks, sf jello and clear broth.  Sounds like a lot hey? NOT! I have only told my immediate family of the surgery and they have been very supportive! Hubby is doing the liquid diet with me for 2 weeks ? So tonite we are attending an event with all our friends. I know they will offer food and drink and will be shocked when I pass. What would you do if in my position? Also, my kids tell me my breath smells like sweet mothballs! I brush 2-3 times/day and chew gum. Is it because of the liquid diet?

Team your gonna love it !  It's a piece of cake so far, only day 2 post op but good luck to the entire rest of the September babies out there.
