Kristen, I just hope that we are able to speak to each other. You will be in the hospital having surgery on the 7th? The day I arrive. You should still be there when I get to the hospital. Yes, I will see you in the hallway.

Hi Kristin125! I am flying out of Wisconsin on May 8th, and being sleeved on May 9th at Mi hospital with the same Dr. I am not good at all with navigating around this forum! I could sure use some tips!

Looks like our dates are one after another. At least we will all be there at the same time. I am very nervous about it. Only had surgery once. Dread the pre op diet for two weeks. I wonder how people survive? I will find out.

I am really nervous as well! I don't think the pre-op diet will be that bad! I'm just looking at it as the beginning of this journey. Honestly, I'm nervous about post op! Just don't want to screw up!

I will also be at the Marriott, but I have my surgery on the 7th. I'm sure we can walk around together once we are all at the Marriott.

I'm flying out May 7th and getting sleeved May 8th with Dr. Lopez. But I'm freaking out about complications and slow weight loss and people not having any restriction on their eating 3 months after surgery, etc. I might call it a day and just not go.

Nope no calling it a day. You can do this. We all can. We all deserve this. To reclaim our lives.

Flying out May the 7th also. Surgery on the 8th. Everytime I get scared, I think about staying in this body and how bad I am going to continue feeling with being on 2x blood pressure medicine instead of one. As I get older, I see my body go south on me. I have a low BMI but every year I put on that much more weight. I find myself looking in the closet at the clothes that I should be wearing. No more excuses. I am bound to TJ when my turn comes up. Trust me that no one is as scared as I am.

Lets do this together Cerenatee!

I know right? I'm freaking out but I'm still in, for the moment anyway. I know others have been through what I'm going through and it'll be ok. I think.

Girl I'm scared, lol. But I keep forgetting you're going to be there too. That does make me feel 1000 times better.

Have you signed up for the Facebook support group yet? I tried to sign up for the May 2013 one but she never added me. Which is sad cause we're going to go through the same things around the same time so it would be great to be on FB together. However, the general FB people are awesome and they have shown all kinds of love. If you haven't checked it out, the link to the VST post is below. You just have to request to join and she'll approve you within a day.

      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.
