Ready for my journey!

Hello
Tomorrow I begin my two week pre-op diet. I am excited and afraid at the same time. I have been reading and watching vlogs and feel I have made the best decision for a healthier life. I had a meniscus repair in August but not a lot of pain relief due to my weight. Currently 280 and 5’6. I am determined and happy I found this online support group.

Hi and welcome to our group! Congratulations on being so close to your surgery date. Feel free to ask questions and if you haven't already done so, look over some of the old posts that might help you as you start your journey. Good luck!

Hello RMom! I just about have the same stats as you and also have a bad knee(s). I'm really glad you've done due diligence prior to your decision as I did. I had my last appointment with my Surgeon and he asked if I had any questions....and all I could come up with was "how soon can I shower after surgery?" The answer was as soon as I had the energy (and I was highly motivated so it was the next day!) You'll find soooo much good information here so do some searches and find people with the same questions and the wealth of knowledge and experience this group provides. Also, you will always find someone who is about in the same place as you are in your path.

Welcome! I hope the preop diet goes fast. I had my bypass on 10/26, so I’m still in the beginning of my post op life, but I’m feeling more human now that I can eat a little more. Good luck!!

Welcome! The preop diet can seem daunting and frustrating, but it's going to set you up for success post-surgery. Best wishes as you move forward in this journey!

Hello and welcome! Congrats and good luck on your upcoming surgery. And the pre-op diet, which as Ryan states, IS frustrating. But totally worth it so hang in there. You are going to feel so much better in a very short time.
