Congratulations!!! It is the best feeling in the world :biggrin5:

I'm looking forward to losing enough weight to go on roller coasters again without the anxiety while waiting in line to see if " I fit". I hope this happens for my trip in November to Disney & Universal.

So I started taking my vitamins as necessary with my liquid diet. I was told I needed to get calcium citrate and it had to say calcium citrate on the label. So I found these calcium citrate chewables they recommended and they are HORRIBLE! I seriously have tried them for 2 days now and I gag each time lol it looks rather pathetic. Does anyone have any advice for a calcium citrate option that will suffice for now and after the surgery.

Thank you so much! I just bought them from bariatric advantage.... excited to get rid of these other wafers

Okay day one almost done.....wld be easier if there was a way to stop food commercials from airing.

Wow Only 5 more days! I start my liquid diet today. I'm glad that you were able to get in the swing of things! It gives me hope... I'm not looking forward to mine but then again I do like structure and I won't have to think about what my next meal will be lol.

LOL the big countdown to our Valentines Day surgery!

Had my "last meal today" because I start my 2 week liquid diet monday. All the days leading up I felt I needed to stop at all my fav. places. But just have to keep reminding myself whats important so I tried not to overdue anything...but these 2 weeks of shakes will be trying.

Yayy!! Congrats!! Me and you share the same surgery date

So, the bariatric center I am going through requires a 2 week liquid diet prior to surgery. I have to purchase the kit through the hospital which contains all the vitamins, protein etc. My surgery is Feb 13th (I believe... the lady hasn't called me back to triple confirm this on my part haha) Either way I am starting today on eating healthier and working out. I figure why not get a kick start on some weight loss pre-op. But I am wondering for those of you that had a 2 week diet how much did you lose?

The letter was the final gratification and the moment it was really... Real for me!!! Yay for feb sleevers im just a day behind u

Wishing you a speedy recovery!!! keep us posted

we start our diet the same day, I order my kit next week..let's do this hahahah

oh nevermind that question, just saw your surgery date, you'll do great!

I hear you! I have been not to vocal with my family on my fears that have just now arised. Probably because for the longest time the conversation was only the worry about being approved. After the approval the conversation became all about oh just imagine what your going to be able to wear.. etc (all the good things). I feel though that our worries are normal but we have all the resources we need from others right on this site. I am worried about all the aftercare.. drinking enough Water taking my Vitamins etc** but it's all going to be worth it. When is your surgery?

I think that either way they are gonna find out .... If she (the lead) is already acting weird and its an office of gossipers whats to say she wont blab when you go on leave... Not to sound negative... but be confident in your decision and be excited for this great journey!! Tell your boss right away so that he is not Bombarded at the last minute... When you come back and your losing weight and feeling great... people pick up on that and may even change their tune if you know what I mean. Sorry if this is one big run-on typed from my phone.

My surgery was originally planned dec. 12th but cigna waited until the last min to tell me the hospital was not a "center of excellence". So I switched hospitals and now im approved!!!! I have been on here reading all approved forums and now I get to be a part of it

Everyone is doing great!! Cant wait to drop some pre-surg weight even if it comes with a liquid diet!! My doc gave me my date officially... changed it to 14th... Valentines day sleeve lol
