Great job @@FpJackelyn!!! We have two parties on Saturday but I'm not sure if I'm going yet. Maybe for an hour each, just to make an appearance. I have a lot to do before next Wednesday. I had my pre-admission appt this morning, they took blood, urine, and money. Lol!! But everything is set for surgery next Thursday!!

I'm doing the hospital pre-admission and payment stuff tomorrow morning!! Surgery is @7am on 12/18!! Too excited for words!!

That's awesome @@simplyblessed!! I wish mine was tomorrow, but I have another week to wait. *sigh*

@@FpJackelyn the diet is not as bad as I expected actually. Try to eat before you go to the party, and bring some flavored water or crystal light with you. You can do it!! Make it a mind over matter deal and put yourself first. Let me know how it goes!

@@FpJackelyn that's awesome!! I'm so excited for all of us!!

I'm scheduled for 12/18. Today is day 7 on the pre-op liver shrinking diet, 2 shakes and a small amount of protein and vegetable and fruit and milk spread out over the day. So far so good! Soooo excited to get this over with, the anticipation is killing me!! Lol!! Good luck all!!

@csk2400- I'm happy that your pain is under control, and that you're starting to feel better!

Yay! Thank you @@jenn1!!

Hi! My name is Adrienne, I'm 45, I'm a head-over-heels-in-love newlywed. I have two daughters 20 and 17, and three step children 19(boy) 14(girl) and 10(boy). I've wanted to have wls for about 12 years but never thought I would have the insurance to cover it, but my new husbands company has excellent insurance and here I am! I began the process back in September, and needed 89 days of medically supervised diet which puts me at December 18. I started my pre-op diet last Thursday (12/4) and so far so good. It's 2 Protein shakes and a small quantity of protein, vegetable, fruit, and milk, along with 64 oz Water every day. I signed all my papers yesterday and got weighed, I've lost 9 pounds since the last time I was there (11/25). Yay me!! I was introduced to Dr.Theodore Perry at Treasure Coast Bariatrics through a friend that used him in 2011. She has had amazing success and is now the before and after model on the advertisements they send out in the mail! She is one of about 6 people I know that have had wls. I have complete confidence in the doctor and in the procedure, and they have an extensive support system in place for follow up. I am more than ready to start this next phase of my life, ready to be healthy, ready to have energy, ready to tuck my shirt in, ready to borrow my daughters' clothes, and to paint my own toenails!! My goal is to lose 110 pounds. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. It is a story in progress, as are all of ours. Good luck on your journey!!

Thank you @@time for june! What point are you at in your journey? How are you doing?

I'm scheduled for 12/18 myself. I'm reading these threads to distract myself from wanting to eat. Lol! We definitely need to stay in touch since we're so close in surgery dates! Good luck!!
