May God be with all May sleeves. Success to all on the next leg of your journey

How' It going? 1 week to go.....how are you doing on liquid diet? Are you nervous?

How's it going? Had my preop on Monday, have my nutrition class with surgeon tomorrow. I think that may be when I get my preop diet

Yay! Congratulations

Yay! I get a surgery buddy...3 weeks to go

I'm scared to get on the scale now, but I guess I really need to know where I am so that I can get my act together.. I' pretty sure they won' cancel after insurance approval, but I most certainly don' want to be the one who gained weight either.

I haven' had my preop nutrition appointment yet. It is on 4/26. At that point it will only be two weeks until surgery....I'm hoping for a week but will do whatever he says.

Hi May sleeves, We are literally halfway through the April and our surgeries are looming. Anyone have any new experiences/fears/updates to share? I haven' started my preop diet and I just went through a phase where I wanted to eat everything in sight....because I know after I start my preop....there will be no more of that...surgery date 5/11/18

Disclaimer: I was called a "walking allergic reaction" by my allergist. My nickname is "bubblegirl" I have never been able to eat protein bars, they tingle my mouth/throat...I attirbuted it to food sensitivities.. Been sampling protein drinks and have had an array of symptoms from tingly mouth to gastric upset. Ordered sample packet of fruit flavored protein drinks and OMG...the ocean opened up, nausea, vomiting diarrhea....tingling lips, tongue etc... Whey protein isolate... not lactose intolerant. Anyone else have this experience?

Thanks for your help. You gave me a great starting point.

8 Please read the post before commenting.. I am not asking for medical.advice from a forum. And as my post would disclose, I already have an allergist. What I asked is if anyone else had the same experience or anything similar and what worked for them.

May 11th. History and physical on 23rd. Nutrition class with surgeon on the 26th.

Got my approval letter yesterday. Yay. I'mnervous but so ready!

How was it? Was it long? Helpful?

Hi Allison, Here in Pennsylvania.

We're close! Did you get insurance approval letter or did you pick a date then submit to insurance?

Hi never posted before. My surgery date is 5/11
