February 9th is my date! This is the third time I've had to change it so hopefully finally putting it down it writing will help me not to have to change it again!! I'm so excited and nervous and all kinds of other emotions, but I think excited says it all. I'm ready to start this new journey! :)

Hey "groupies" - make sure you are doing before pictures. I think we will really like it in the end. I have several close friends who didn't and say that is a regret they have. Can't wait. No nerves. Ready for a change. I have a super support system. Just hoping for a quick recovery and back to work.

Pics and measurements! If you do measurements, it will help when you're obsessing over a stall. You can watch the inches disappear! I'm ready!!

My surgery is on the 17th with Almanza in Tijuana. I am so ready but I am more nervous of falling out when I switch to the clear liquid diet in 2 weeks than the surgery itself. Thank god I will be working days and my deckhand will be there in case something happens.

I plan on being a chipndale in the near future. Jk but I cant wait to be under 200lbs again

OH!!! I got cardiac clearance yesterday! YAAAYY!!! I am "low risk for a cardiac event" during surgery. He said I'm very healthy! (Other than my profound effect on gravity ;) )

Congratulations, Dooter. I'll be finishing my cardiac clearance on Tuesday. The cardiologist wants to put me through a stress test before he give me final clearance. At least my EKG looked good. He just didn't like my family history. I still have to finish my psych eval and my gallstone check.

I have waffled back and forth with nerves, but it's official- February 28th with Dr. Aceves. Flights booked, deposit sent. And now I feel calm and ready. I have mainly been a "lurker" on this board but it has helped me so much already!!!

      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.
