Topic: RE: When is your day?

Mine is scheduled for 2-14, but I think that maybe a little wishful thinking. I am waiting for approval. So we will see.

Topic: Hi! I hope to join the loser's bench soon...

hopefully on Valentine's' Day.   My surgeon is Dr. George Merriman, Shreveport, LA.

I have been told to do a 7 day preopt diet that consist of 7 items daily from the Nutrimed products. Each day I will have 4 protein bars + 3 of the following: soup, shakes, pudding, drinks. I will be on clear liquids the last 24 hrs prior to surgery. So, I really can't complain about my preopt diet.

In addition, I don't have to drink that yukky stuff that cleans your intestines out. YA!

I am awaiting approval for the surgery. I will need to have it by Friday, I think, to be able to do my preopt diet. Unless, Dr. Merriman lets me slide by with less days.  He wants me to lose 8-10 lbs from my highest weight of 247. I have lost 8 of them on my own, doing the Atkins.

Yes, I am getting excited!!!

also, chicken in frank's red hot sounds so damn good right now. i just sipped some hot sauce, no chicken. sounds gross but was sort of satisfying. only a few more weeks of this and i'll be able to have that chicken too... time can't go fast enough !

Brit, my surgery is also on Valentine's Day! I felt so blessed when I was given this date -like it was totally meant to be and that everything is going to go smoothly! Good luck to you, sleeve surgery sister!
