My name is Shaun and my surgery date is Dec 5 at Lexington Memorial in Lexington SC. Pray for me as I pray for you all. Let the journey begin.

[2bhlthy 8]

I went yesterday and had a chest X-ray done for the pulmonology clearance and I get a call today from my primary dr today saying they may need to do another couple of pictures because there was a spot on the first ones. Talk about a little bit freaked out and worried that my surgery will be delayed! What could it mean that there is a spot? I need some reassuring words right now :-(

[PSKKJM 23]

Paperwork sent to insurance for approval on November 28th. Appointment with surgeon on December fifth. Hope to be approved by that appointment.

In addition to all of the above, I am retaining a lot of Water today. Ugh, I hope that aunt flow isn't coming for a visit. Although now would be better then during or after the surgery.

I have been overweight most of my life and have never had a regular cycle except on birth control pills. But, surprisingly the last couple of months i have been very normal. Way too normal :-). Maybe I will skip this month.

Hey all! I am brand new to this forum and so excited I found it today! I sent in my paperwork for approval on November 9th and was approved for surgery in early December within a week! My surgery date is December 11th. I started out at 335 pounds, and at my last weigh in (5 days ago) I was 320. I've been on my pre-op liquid diet for four days now. It's pretty tough, but I'm getting by. I cheated twice, which I'm pretty ashamed of. The first day my girlfriend convinced me to bring her to McDonald's (she doesn't have a car) and then talked me into eating "my last meal" so I had a couple double cheeseburgers. After that I felt pretty bad, and I've been sticking to three to four Optifast Protein Shakes a day (I am supposed to do 6) and one Protein Bar a day (I am supposed to have 2). Yesterday I slept in, and then only had a few sips of Water throughout the day, but at night, my girlfriend brought a turkey and cheese wrap up to the bedroom, and offered me a piece. I ended up eating about three or four big bites. It was low fat, but it still made me feel awful. Cheating is cheating no matter what you eat! So far today I had half a Protein Shake, and I am ignoring my tummy rumbling. I feel like I can do this! I have come so far. I quit smoking cold turkey almost a year ago, got my girlfriend to quit (which felt harder than quitting myself!) and I gave up soda last week, which I felt totally addicted to. I think I'm doing pretty well! Feeling proud of myself right now. Just thought I'd share a little bit of my story!

[Simplysouthern26 92]

Hey sue welcome to the group I will add you to our surgery list... And yeah the liquid diet is hard I myself have cheated (thanksgiving) but I try not to beat myself up about it and to just continue forward good luck
