Got a date! AHH!

It's so soon! June 3rd : ) Just waiting on paperwork so i can get the pre-op tests done. Hardly any time left!! I'm so excited, and then the next minute it doesn't seem real. Any advice on diets beforehand, or exercise, or mental preparing???  I'm always mental : )

Congratulations!! My surgery is on Tuesday and I'm in the midst of a full tilt freak out. :) As far as pre-op advice, my surgeon told me that it's important to walk into the hospital in your best personal shape. Try to wean off carbonation and caffeine, and get your body moving.  Best of luck!!

Yay!  Its right around the corner!!! Mental prep is uberly key... I am sooo anal, have to make lists of things to buy, do, pla.  That helped me stay sane!

oh my gosh, i have list, then another list, then my updated list...ugh *lol* i need a list of my lists just to kee it all in order!! hehe

PM me with your email address.  I compiled a great "WLS Survival Guide" during my pre-op months.  It includes lots of recipes, shopping lists, packing lists, inspirational quotes and important articles... Congrats!  Heather

That's awesome, thank you!!

Your surgeon should have a pre-op diet they make you follow in order to shrink your liver and make it easier and safer to move out of the way during the surgery. If they don't have one, let me know and I'll look up the info on the one I did at Duke - I lost 11 lbs in the one week I was on it!
