You don't want to have a fatty liver and have them have to cut you open. Plus, the more you change your eating habits now, the less of a shock it will be after surgery. I'm in the "last supper" stages as well but I am trying hard not to gorge myself. I'm allowing myself to cheat here and there on the things I know I will miss. My big problem is exercising - I just can't get motivated. I scoffed at seeing a shrink but she really helped me get my head in the game. Even though the $250.00 hurt – I’m glad I was required to see her.

I got my BariatrX protein powder in the mail yesterday. I had some. It tasted fine thank God. I start the liquid only diet in 7 days and am supposed to do it for 2 weeks. My surgery is August 13th. I told my boss yesterday I will be out next month. I really don't want it to be the subject to talk about around the office, but I am sure it will. My boss is a thin man, and I expected a bit of questioning why I am doing this when I should be able to just lose the weight on my own. But he was actually great.

I'm almost 59 so there are a few of us out there. I feel kinda lucky in one way - I don't have to worry about what I'll eventually look like in a bikini because I'm never going there again anyway!! Now, a nice slinky black one-piece...maybe!!
Cheers

I just got back from my Pre-Op visit and I DO believe this is our year!! I am thinking that we should all go on a weekend next July/August to celebrate!
PREOP DIET= 2 protein shakes and a Lean Cuisine or WW meal
I lost 6 pounds since last time. I guess I can go mark that on my ticker! LOL

Oh I am so jealous :( I don't get any WW or LC meal... that would be so heavenly right now. I know I know I will be better off... lol..thats what the doc says.
I was jus thinking to myself if I can reach my goal in a year (I actually have 2 goals) than a cruise is sounding great to me....

August 8th I can't wait.. Anyone out here have bad reflux? I am refluxing these thin Optifast things...Any ideas on what might help? I think that will be the worst part of the pre-op diet.

I hope it was ok to take those I couldn't have handled the night without.:faint:

I wasn't sure if I could take antacids.. I called and asked and they said I could drink this soy stuf from smoothie king but I really didn't like it and it didn't stay down well either. I guess I will call though and be more specific.

Gonna get it on the 7th, less than a week now. I guess I should be gettin nervous, but I haven't really had time. I have been getting everything straight at work, and getting my post-op supplies lined up I haven't had time to be nervous. I guess it will hit me Monday, when I finally slow down.
Jim

Mine's tomorrow in the morning! (It's 10pm here.) I didn't want to say what the second date was till I confirmed it but it is confirmed and here I am. And like an idiot I was, I drank a whole can of pepsi. As if it wasn't going to be hard enough to sleep anyway! :heh:
:faint:
Oh gah. I should sleep. But hooray for a thread for us.

Well, its two weeks til surgery, and I have a million things to do besides sitting at the computer and reading posts, but IT REALLY HELPS to read everyones posts. I am still excited and scared like all of you, so its nice to be normal. I did a very risky thing yesterday. I am currently a size 20. I really like those flirty shirts that are full at the bottom and fitted at the top, so I went to Chicos and bought two in size 1, ( size 10-12). I have the bag put where I can see it easily and I am going to make it.
