My surgery isn't until September because my insurance require me to have 90 days worth of doctor supervised diet. Even though I started all this in May, with the surgeons schedule and the dietitian it all worked out to finish my courses and all by September 2 and surgery was scheduled for September 18. July 1 is my next appointment with dietitian. Last time she asked that I cut out carbonation- I did, cut out caffeine- sort of, and walk 30 minutes a day- haven't even thought about it. LOL. I am looking forward to the pre-op diet and the surgery itself. I can't wait not to be hungry anymore. To be able to start from scratch with a toddler sized tummy. LOL
