@@619Raf January 15th! We have the same surgery date!

@@bonniearellano We have the same surgery date!

@@Newme4113 and I have Horizon too!

@@Newme4113 Nice! I still have to go surgery shopping. I've done so much research it's crazy haha. But my liquid diet starts January 2nd and the surgery is set for January 15th. So the liquid diet is 2 weeks long. I have a list from the office that says we can only have water, broth, sugar free drinks like crystal light and power drinks, low fat yogurt and of course a lot of protein shakes! I know. I'm gonna be miserable and starving hahaha

@@Newme4113 yeah, it sounds like you're getting your surgery date really soon. I'm only saying this because of my experience so I'm sorry if I end up wrong but I'm hoping I'm right! And I've read a lot about gas pains once the surgery is over. People suggest buying Gas-X. There are so many tests! I've heard of people getting the same tests and some only getting a few done. I guess it depends on the doctor and insurance. What insurance do you have?

@@Newme4113 Once I got the gastric emptying study done I soon got my surgery date so I hope the same goes for you! I have been seeing him since June actually. It is a slow process and I agree that his staff can be a bit unorganized and that's annoying. But overall he does seem like a pretty good doctor.

@@Newme4113 Hi! How do you like him so far? How long have you been seeing him? I hope you get a January surgery date as well!

@@follmerpa Congrats on your surgery date! And I'm starting my serious diet this week too. I've been eating badly since thanksgiving day. No good! I wish you the best of luck! I'm sure your kids will be very happy and proud of you!

@@Veronica Page Ugh I know! Same thing here! Well we will definitely have no choice but to stop very soon, haha. That's something I'm actually excited about. Having this surgery is a complete lifestyle change. It's a great tool for all of us to move forward and drop these habits.

January 12th* I mean.

@@Veronica Page Yay! January 13th is close to my date! It's great that you've quit smoking and everything. I have the same issue. I eat when I'm bored/anxious. It's such a terrible habit and it's so hard to stop! I also have the habit of barely eating during the day and then snacking at night. It's awful .

@@downsizingdiva Oh wow. I would be absolutely furious too. That's annoying! I hope you get a surgery date for January. Keep us posted!

@@KSTUZ Yay! That's awesome. I'm excited for you guys. Well, I was looking at other ways to be able to enjoy the full liquid diet I'll be on so I looked at smoothies and found a really good green apple detox juice cleanse here: http://thegreenforks.com/super-detox-green-cleansing-smoothie/ I'm thinking of maybe even adding Protein powder to it too but we shall see how that's gonna taste haha

I'm getting sleeved January 15th! Excited and super nervous! Been wanting this for a very long time. Best of luck to everyone!

Hi! My name is Jennifer, I'm 26, I'm from New Jersey and my surgery date is set for January 15th! My liquid diet starts January 2nd. I am extremely excited and nervous! I have wanted this for so long. It's still kinda surreal that it's going to happen. They gave me a list of things to have during my liquid diet. Like Water, Protein shakes, broth and sugar free drinks/jello. I was also thinking about making myself some sort of green apple juice cleanse too. I'm excited to hear about others journeys!

@@Shell88 Hi, Dr. Paragi is my surgeon as well! I just officially got my surgery date and its on January 15th. How is your journey going so far? Do you like him?

@@Mami5Boys I'm seeing Dr. Paragi too! I just got told that my official surgery date is January 15th. How is your journey going? Do you like him?

Hi! I too am seeing Dr. Paragi for my surgery. I was originally going for the bypass but changed my mind and I'm going for the sleeve. My surgery date is officially on January 15th! How do you like him so far?
