Got my date too!

June 28th... can't wait...

Judy

Excellent! I expect nearer the time there will be quite a few more too....I'm trying to get my pre op diet out of my dietician before I go for my pre op tests, not sure I'll manage tho, so may have to wait until 21st before I know how long the pre op diet is for.

The suspense is killing me as I know they can vary SO much!!!

Hi Surgery Buddy!

Like you I would love to fast forward to about 4 weeks post op!!

But I guess we'll just have to be patient!

Good luck

ARGH!

Patience has never been one of my strong suits!

My doctor only requires one day of pre-liquids but wants me to lose weight before surgery so I have been pretty good. I was freaking out yesterday because I was back up to my weight from 5 days ago but then I realized it was TOM and most likely Water weight. This morning I was back down 3 pounds.

Zephra - I'm still waiting to hear my fate on the pre op diet..... I go for pre op tests on 21st May, so will meet with the dietician then, trying to get the diet out of her now but think she wants to chat more first.

The pre ops vary so much I'd rather know what I'm in for!!

Lessofme2010 - you're the day before me... and yeah.. good luck to us all!

Not sure yet. Waiting for Insurance approval. They have 30 day to respond. May 29th will be the 30 day mark. Surgeon said 4 to 6 weeks after approval. That would put me at end of June to Mid July. This waiting is painful. Can't wait to be on the loser's bench !!!

June 30th....I too work for the school system, so figured it would be best if I waited until summer break. It is killing me though....I want to be on the losing side soooooo badly!

You know, I was looking through posts last night I came across one about NSV (non scale victories). I read page after page of things that people can now do or wear and the more I read, the more excited I got. I feel like I won the lottery and am just waiting to pick up my check. Never thought I would be excited about someone cutting 85% of my stomach out. Come on June 30th.

I am shooting for June 8th or June 9th. I have already had the consult, they just have to do the paperwork. I have a few work engangements that I can't get out of the rest of May, and my 14 year old is have her "8th grade graduation" the first week of June. I should be coming home in time to Celebrate my 50th birthday on June 11th. I guess no cake for me!! I see alot of Texas folks on here. We need to have a sleeve get together!

      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.
