Tomorrow--arrival time 10:00 a.m.! Bag packed (weighs enough to have supplies for a small army), all home supplies/supplements/protein/foods purchased and stocked.

Now, if this dang magnesium citrate would get things..."moving along". Sigh.

Editing to add:

I am SO READY for this. I want this more than I want all the sweet, gooey Desserts and greasy, fried crapfood I could eat in the next 20 years without surgery!

I have been tentatively scheduled for 22 July pending approval of my appeal. I am getting really freaked out about how long it is going to take to get the approval back. Accoring to my doc. he was told to get just a few things fixed on my paperwork and it would fly through I really hope that they will get me in. Cross your fingers for me ok?

Call the insurance company and inquire as to if they received all necessary paper work and if they had made a decision yet. I've noticed that the people who are inquiring get a faster notice.?? Just a suggestion

My date is not til the 30th, so I still have some time to get ready. I'm working on it though. I alternate between being excited and sure this is the right thing to do and thinking, "I'm doing so well with my healthy eating and exercise...maybe I should give it one more try to do it without surgery?" Then I remind myself that I'm about to turn 35 and I've been morbidly obese for over 8 years and obese for an additional 2.5 years prior. The last time I was in the normal BMI range was over 17 years ago! Also I have struggled with my weight since 4th grade! If I could reach and maintain a healthy weight on my own, I would have done it by now, right??? So then I go back to being sure and excited.

I bought myself some sublingual B12 at the grocery store on a BOGO sale. Still have to get the other supplements. I've tried 3 different ready-to-drink Protein drinks, but I still need to get some powder and blend up my own. I really need to start practicing not drinking while eating. I think that will be hard.

I hope I get to join the July sleevers.. Insurance approval confirmed, just waiting for the surgeon to call with my surgery date. I still need to buy all my stuff...vitamins, Protein Drinks and powder. I didn't want to buy anything before I got the insurance company's approval. I was afraid I would jinx myself. I'm sure my surgery won't be until at least the end of the month since I will be on a 2 week pre-surgery diet. I'm excited, but nervous. I just want to get going on this new stage of my life.

7/17 here. Have not even thought about getting ready. Nervous but stressed. I don't have to do a preop diet other than one day of liquids and mag citrate which I have no clue how that will taste or go down!

I am awaiting my date of surgery but the scheduler assumed it would be around the 15th. What all did you guys stock your pantry with, and what supplies did you purchase to have on hand. I bought a new scale, food scale, and Isopure zero carb Protein Powder. Along with some chicken, vegetable, and beef stock. What else should I do? Thanks and I'm SO ready to get this surgery scheduled and begin losing weight. I've turned into a hermit!

      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.
