I'm Nov 5th North Carolina. I can't believe I'm finally saying my date. For months I've been reading about people telling us their surgery dates and it's our turn now. We are going to have to support each other as we struggle through Thanksgiving.

I'm November 20 in Indianapolis and very excited. I could have had it earlier but asked to have then because of my work schedule. Not sure how long my pre-op diet is. I was told someone would call me 30 days prior to my surgery date to set up all pre-op tests and such. I started this back in April and can't believe it's so close :-)

I just got my approval letter today! I'm hoping for November 14 or 15, need to set the date with the surgeon now that I'm approved. I'm near Omaha NE. Will be having surgery at The Nebraska Medical Center. I'm very nervous but very excited. I'm a type 2 diabetic with poor control :(

I am having my surgery November 9th in Jacksonville, Florida. I start my pre op diet in a couple weeks. I think I am more nervous about making it through those weeks than the actual surgery! LOL

Yeah' date=' glad to hear from you all! My surgery is on November 9th. I bought two containers of injury Protein powder and will be ordering some more here pretty quick ... I think I'll be shopping this weekend for some comfy night clothes. I plan on packing my suitcase as soon as I start the liquid diet. For now I'm reading all the posts do ill be able to ask lots of questions on my next appointment on the 17 of next month. Yeah, next month is but a few days away! Excited and super scared[/quote']

My surgery date is scheduled for November 9th as well in NJ. My surgeon doesn't require a liquid diet prior to surgery however I think I'm going to do one anyway before I eat myself out of jeans due nervousness and anxiety with this surgery.

      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.
