Good luck!!! I'm at the hospital now!! Surgery at 7:30 am!!!

I'm at the hospital!!! About to get my IV put in!!!! So excited ... A little nervous!!! Ready for my next stage in life to begin!!! Good luck to everyone having surgery today!!!

Yes spelled perfectly! We are on the same timeline... Day 3 for me surgery Nov 2nd.... I woke up really hungry and not in the mood for a cold Protein shake... I wanted something warm and filling... But I sucked it up and just had the shake... The lbs are falling off already!!! I'm down 4 lbs in 2 days. Think I'll call my nutritionist tomorrow because we never really set up a pre-op meal plan.... Yours sounds great because at least you get to eat7 oz meat... Mmmmm sounds so yummy right now.. All I've had is steam broccoli and chicken broth... Which wasn't the most horrible thing in the world but a little grill chicken would be nice!

Are you on the pre-op diet? How's it going?

Yes, I was originally scheduled for 10/22.. I would be prepping for surgery for Monday... But there was scheduling conflicts with the assisting surgeon... I was totally bummed because I had a set plan for healing time and going to start a new job which was thrown off ... But I'm back on a new plan now where I'll go back to work about 9 days after surgery on 11/2 so it worked out great... Hope you get that November date!!

Hi ladies, I'm late jumping in here... My surgery is Nov 2nd!!! I'm on day 2 of pre-op diet and I'm not going crazy yet... I am getting more hungry than I was yesterday... And getting nervous about the surgery.

So sad my surgery got pushed back to Nov 2nd because the assistant surgeon wasn't available . It's kind of screwing up my whine timing of starting a new job and going to Hawaii in December... I'll just be hiring 4 weeks when I traces to Hawaii and an worried about being all healed up and transitioning food stages. well goodbye October banders and good luck with all your surgeries!! Gonna go say hello to November banders

So excited for you!!! Good luck!!

My surgeries October 22nd and I'm starting the pre-op diet on Monday ... Just bought 100% Whey protein shakes today and will be getting pure protein from Costco ... I'm strictly on liquids... I see some other people eating veggies and chicken... I wish!! That's what I eat already.... I'm worried about working out on the pre-op diet... Not sure I'll have enough strength or energy with just liquids.. although it's high protein shakes

I just got my surgery date today...October 22nd!!! @secondchancesally we are surgery twins!!! I'm more nervous for the two week liquid diet than the surgery. I'm also excited/nervous!!..strange combo

OMG!!! I heard back from UHC!!!.My surgery is approved!! and my surgery is set for Oct. 22!!!...Wow less than 1 month!!..and that had to be the quickest approval ever! less than 1 week. OK I just got a little nervous...liquid diet in 2 weeks...I'm more worried about that stage than after surgery. I'm so excited!!.

That's great news!! I started inquiring about the surgery in June met with my surgeon in July... Did all the tests, required nutrition and psychology evaluations and am waiting for insurance approval now.... I'm hoping to have the surgery late October... 1 month from now!!! But no date set yet I'm going to stay on top of the insurance company UHC... And hope its approved next week at least.... I hope everything goes smoothly for you going forward and that you can get everything done by December.
