My surgury is November 6th. I am currently 21 and seeing as my birthday is in November as well i scheduled it as an early birthday present. Most of the info concerning the process ive gone through for my surgury is in my sig, and i have lost 40 lbs so far pre op. So far im really pumped to get it all started, the whole 30/30 drinking/eating thing is the only thing im concerned about as i am going to have to start forcing it more now.

either way if you guys would like more info please just let me know.

Add me to the list!

My name is Monica, and I'm scheduled for 11/12 with Dr Dat Nguyen in Manteca, CA.

I'm a single mom of three, fighting the cholesterol and BP that are creeping up due to obesity.

Best wishes to you all for a speedy recovery and great loss!

BTW, Amy (OP), do we know each other from another board?

I'm 11/12 too. 10:45 at Toledo Hospital, to be exact. Not that I'm excited or anything!

Dr. White is a genius, according to other sleevers but I almost wish I was doing this in Mexico because Ohio is already just too cold.

Christina,

I am also 61. Thank you so much for sharing your feelings. I was so moved that I read them to a small group of work friends. Which led to a very nice discussion about weight. One woman said she always thought heavy people felt the same as thinner people. The fact that you walk into a room and "size up the crowd" was a learning experience. Then I shared my thoughts too. Like tonight on the bus on the way home from work. The only seat left was one in the middle of 2 fat people. So I stood up. I was tired. I had worked on my feet for 5 hours. Last week, I was sitting in one of those 3 person seats and 2 heavy people squeezed in all I could imagine, was how funny we must have looked and maybe the bus would tip over, haha. I also can't wait to want to be in a picture again. I had some friends come to visit and they took pics and they posted them on FB. I nearly died. I was outed to all the people who had only known me as thin. Terrible. Well, all of that will soon be over. I wish we were closer in surgery dates.

Anyone else, the last week of November?

Hi Anslee,

I'm thinking my surgery will be the end of November. My Aetna 90 day requirement is over on Nov 14 and the paperwork then gets submitted to Aetna that day or the next. As soon as they approve my doc is fitting me in on his schedule. I'm excited and nervous! I know how you feel about the Facebook pictures....OMG... it's so humiliating. I want to be free of those self loathing feelings.....

My surgery is noe definitely scheduled for November 8th. I am on the second day of my Optifast diet. It's hard. But, I am doing it. Anyone else in my shoes?

You are the day before me! I'm November 9th. I don't have to do a pre op diet, but i'm doing one any way. I'm on day 3. I get a little irritated around 7pm and I do find myself just thinking about food for no apparent reason! Counting the days down!!!

      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.
