July 18th here! I was talking to my personal trainer yesterday and he was genuinely shocked when I told him that my surgery was in 23 days. He said, "It was 2 months ago last time we talked about it!" Time really does fly.

I have been going through all the requirements for months and last week I got the okay from my insurance company and received a surgery date from my surgeon. So many emotions and feelings. Excited' date=' anxious, frightened, happy, sad and all while being confident in my decision. Im not afraid of the discomfort or hard work ahead, but terrified of the worst case scenario's they keep telling me. Im a mother of two small children (2 and 4) and am so worried. I know everyone feels this way, but I don't want to back out from fear. Anyone else feeling like that or having surgery in July like me??? Would love to have some peeps to talk with along the way....[/quote']

I just went for my first consult yesterday and I am scheduled for surgery on July 31! I'm so excited. The only thing I am worried about is lab on July 11, my h1c has to be a 8 or below. I was diagnosed Type II in May and it was a 10. But since then I've lost 20 pounds and so my doctor counted that as my pre-op weight loss. YEAH!!

My surgery date is for July 7th. I'm on day 3 of my pre-op diet and sooooo hungry at time, but OK at other times. I'm excited and scared at the same time.

I'm brand new to this site, just signed up today. Hopefully I'll get some great feedback on my journey to a healthier me.

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. I have only had to wait since the beginning of June since my insurance won't cover the surgery and I am self paying. I have gone through every emotion you just stated. The only thing I feel confident about is my decision to do this.

My surgery is on July 2 and I'm also really nervous and excited. My husband and I are doing this together and his surgery is on June 28. I'm glad we're doing this together so we can support each other.

I have a July 11 surgery and totally understand. It's hard to think of anything else. I try to imagine all the good that can come from this - an opportunity to succeed where I haven't been able to in the past. As my daughter told me- "You're braver than you think you are." I have to think she's right!

I have a date also 7/10 and today is my first day of nothing but skim milk for 2 weeks!!!!! I did have some non fat yogurt in the morning as I do Water aerobics 5days a week and don't want to get weak during workout. Have you started your pre op diet? What do you get to have? Start of our weight loss and healthier numbers. Katie

      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.
