Topic: RE: Happy Thsnksgiving!

I was one of those pre op diet people. I just kept telling myself this is temp. Next year I will enjoy some of the good food in smaller quantities. And I will be smaller than a few family members... It wasnt hard.....well maybe the mashed potatoes and stuffing called me alot. But I didnt give in.

Topic: RE: Where is everyone in their journey?

I have completed  the nutrition appointments, psych exam, sleep study, EKG (I had to do a nuclear  stress test, they found damage to my heart, stated that it seems I had a silent heart attack at some point) Got all my paperwork for my weight history for 5 years.  Once all of that was completed and my papers sent into insurance it took 1 week to get the approval. I started all of this back in August, surgery is set for Monday,  Dec 2nd and I started my liquid diet yesterday. I am ready for this.

Dottie,  I think the liquid diet has been a great introduction to the new lifestyle we are about to start.  It hasn't been too bad.  I'm on day   #10.  Surgery is Wed for me.  I told everybody I was having surgery, so I've been able to talk freely about it.  Everyone has been so supportive.  Good luck!

Topic: Nice to have found you guys
And just in time, I've been preparing for this surgery for 6 months and now right around corner on December 3rd. I had been occasionally reading the msg boards but never posting till my surgery was finally approved on November 21st. I was worried bout disappointment since first time was denied. So in rush to get all my ducks in a row. Going to coscto today to buy protein powder and muscle milk light (hope they taste okay). Then buy some slightly smaller underwear and vitamins. So silly, after reading another post I been worried bout underwear falling off. I plan on using safety pins and belts till I can't, and maybe getting some stretch pants at a thrift store but new fitted underwear seems important lol. Also preparing by cleaning my house top to bottom, so tempted to start organizing clothes.. but think I'll wait for that :) I have a RL friend that's gonna be doing surgery hopefully in February or March. How have you guys been preparing yourself mentally or physically?
