Congratulations and best of luck to you! Isn't it so exciting! I just got my date also - 10/11 and I was practically jumping up and down with happiness. I have to start the liquid pre-op diet on Tuesday. For some reason, my doctor likes 4 weeks. Its the only part I'm not thrilled about, but I'm sure I will survive it. Lol.

Good luck to you!

@ Lo, CONGRATS on getting a date! When they gave you your date didn't it feel like you had won the lottery. I remember screaming and doing a happy dance when I got my approval letter in the mail. When I called the coordinator and got a date I almost fell out of my seat...literally! So happy for you!!!! September 26 is right around the corner.

@Fusilli, Oct. 11...I'm sure you're counting the days. Congratulations!! It will be here before you know it. All the best t you!

@Imlooznit, my date is 9/20, which is just a few short days away. Im anxious, excited, nervous and very expectant. I know this is right for me and at the end of the day the emotion that I feel is happiness. We are definitely doing the right thing. Hang in there...we can do this! Chin up young person!

@ ImLooznit- I understand about about being scared because I wanted to push it back a couple of weeks but my family talked me out of it . Now I'm glad they did. Just think the next two weeks are going to fly by :D

@ NikiJ- Thank you !!!

When they told me my date ... You could have knock me down with a freather. The only think I can comepare to it is when my man proposed to me cause all I wanted to do was cry and call everyone but I couldnt stop shaking !

Congrats to all getting their surgery soon. I just had mine last week- it certainly is a flurry as the date gets closer with the pre op diet and getting things settled at home and/or work- it goes quickly tho.

I'm very excited for you all.

:cheer2:

      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.
