I'm an August All-Star now too! (thanks MeMeMEEE for cluing me in on this space)

August 24th, my 34 and a half birthday! Looks like there's a few of us on that day.

I'm jealous of you guys/gals who get to go sooner, but I can wait. This might sound silly, but I watch the moon when I have something that seems far away. The moon changes so quickly, so I think - well, the next time the moon is full, I'll be almost there. And then it just passes quickly, even with checking the moon every night.

I will say I'm a bit nervous about the 2 week all liquid pre-op. I have this feeling that I might want to stab someone in the middle of it. We'll see how it goes.

Oh, and I don't have a time yet. Is that weird? The scheduler said they'd get back with me on that. I do have a pre-op appointment for 8 days before my surgery, and a phone call in to the nurse to ask her things like, "can I keep taking my b/c pills?"

So much to figure out still, even though I've been researching this for seven months now!

I don't have a time yet either so I don't think it's weird! I love the moon idea!! My preop is 3 days before. My Dr requires BC to be stopped 1 month before - BIG letters in the instructions and my NUT told me they have canceled surgeries because of it so you may want to call!!!

We have the same date! Good luck to you :)

Good luck to you too, Debbie! I saw in another post that you wanted to lose about 130 pounds, so our goals are pretty close too. My doctor said I should lose about 115 pounds. I'm 5'7", so my BMI is 40.

I'm glad to get in touch with other people who are going to be going through the same thing "with" me. :) I was told to plan to spend about two nights in the hospital, and I start my pre-op diet on July 30.

      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.
