Wow, it seems so many of us are starting to get ready for September! I am so excited for us.

Who is doing a pre-op diet? And when are you starting?

@NewMe86: Not really, maybe more of a last drink or two or three... or every weekend until August, lol. I've been kind of saying good by to alcohol. It is kind of hard to be a college student and not drink, so I am kind of getting my last hoorah out of the way or at least until six months after surgery. I've been low carbing it since May, and I can say I think I am okay with food for now, but I am definitely coming to realize I am saying goodbye to a lifestyle now too. I definitely won't be the quintessential college student anymore.

I may be September, but hopefully August! I have completed all steps. The insurance approval was received July 15th, so now am waiting for the scheduler to call. I was told the surgery would be in 'about' 4 weeks!

Excited, nervous....Not looking forward to two week pre-op diet!

Hey all my september sleevers!!! Me and my doctor are shooting for a september date as well. I have finished 90% of all my testing. I have to do a sleep study, chest x-ray & have a venus doppler test and that's it! I'm so excited to finally be making that change to healthier/happier me. I have a million emotions I go thru and it seemed like september would take FOREVER to get here and look its damn near August. I'm wishing all the best of luck and hoping we all graduate to that loser's bench with honors, lol!! I'll be watching everyone's process.

Well I'm finish everything,I got my approval letter from my insurance company last week Thursday. I'm waiting for the nurse to call me for my History/Physical appt. at that time I'll get my surgery date. I'm thinking the second week of September, will be my surgery. Is anyone nervous or it's just me?

I received insurance approval July 15th. I waited and waited to hear from my WL surgeon. Finally, after leaving two messages with them, they called and told me that they are more than 12 weeks backed up on surgery and they were trying to figure out how to solve the problem. I started the process today with a different WL dr and hope to have my surgery within a month.

      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.
