Day 4 was tough for me. Had to run some errands and skipped lunch shake. Passing my favorite restaurants was torture!! I am happy that I have dropped about 12 lbs already though. It's just a really crappy way to do it! -
I'm done telling folks. They don't get it
Blue_Disciple replied to wannaBthinsoon's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@ Cruuuumbs: She might be, I don't know. We have three handsome boys and I don't plan on going anywhere! I just want to set a better example for them and be around. Her mind seems to think all men are geared towards sex alone. So she may be worried I'll leave her, I dunno. I'm deeper than that and aspire for greater things! -

I know how you feel. My wife already informed me she does not support me and will not be at my surgery. As painful as it is, I'm still getting it done! Life like this is not living but merely existing! I want to live! Everyone dies, but not everyone truly lives. -Unknown -
Insurance Approval
Blue_Disciple replied to twig1425's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My nurse called and told me I was approved. She said they spent 5 hours on the phone with insurance and the last time I called I was told my plan didn't cover bariatrics. So I'm not calling because they are idiots. -
Caffeine allowed during pre-op diet?
Blue_Disciple replied to hdd55146's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told no caffeine before or after surgery. -
January 15th, 2015 Anyone?
Blue_Disciple replied to downsizingdiva's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Surgery on January 12, 3rd day into pre-op liquids. It's not too bad. Headache on day one but other than that, very doable!! Stay strong!! It will be worth it! -

I'm in the same boat as you downsizingdiva. No food for two weeks prior to surgery. I can have sugar free jello, no caffeine, chicken Broth, strained soup, protein shakes. On day 3 here. Surgery in 2 weeks. -
Any December 23 sleevers?

Pre op diet frustration!
Blue_Disciple replied to mduffield's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just remember the pre op diet is to shrink your organs. Your weight loss will come after surgery. You don't wanna have to be cut open over laparoscopic methods. -
Surgery in 3 weeks!
Blue_Disciple replied to Blue_Disciple's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Get to start my liquids on 12/29. Doc ordered 2 weeks pre op liquids for a 01-12 surgery date.
