That is very exciting! I just got my date on Monday, but it's not as soon as yours. It seems like forever since I first thought about getting surgery back in April, through all the research, appointments, tests, various other hoops to jump through... I finally have a date: August 11. I can totally relate to how excited you are. Congrats!:thumbup:

Penny, yay, I am so excited for you. That is fabulous news! My husband says to high-five your hubby for getting lucky tonight. But, now he is giving me that look as well, sheesh.

WhiteRice, welcome to the forums and congrats on getting your date as well!

Welcome WhiteRice! I started researching and wanting to have this surgery over a year ago, but finally talked my husband into it just about 7 weeks ago.

I'm very blessed that he loves me just as I am, but I want to have more energy and be able to do more things than I am able to do right now.

You will get tons of information from the people here.. so again, welcome and good luck on your surgery.

Congratulations, Penny! I know exactly how you feel...I researched WLS for years before being able to have it done. Once the date was set, it finally felt real! Good luck with your surgery! You're gonna love Dr. Aceves & his staff! :thumbup1:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
