January Dates

[nienie 113]

Hello everyone! My surgery is scheduled for Jan 24. I went to an all day seminar in June and have been working on all my requirements since. After finishing up with my six months of dietary at the end of November-I finally got approval around Christmas. I am very excited to start this journey. I have seen a few people where I work at have the surgery and it has gone very well for them. I realize that this is only a tool and I still have to put alot of hard work into everything. I have been following a low carb diet for a few years and lost 40 pounds from my all time high but with PCOS and insulin resistance I just take weight off slow. My endocrinologist felt this would be a great benefit for me. So here I am... Looking forward to getting to know people on here and following everyone successful journey...

I didn't lose much on liquids either. I lost 7 lbs only had a 10day liquid diet. Remember the only purpose of the pre op liquid diet is so that your liver shrinks some so that its not in the way. So it's ok if you didn't lose a lot of weight.i weighed myself before leaving for surgery' date=' cuz at the hospital they didn't weigh me. That is the only reason I know my pre op weight.

Congratulations on your date!I know for me, that was a huge sense of relief to have a date. I also have PCOS, which is why I am on this journey. I am also having the surgery to help treat infertility. Its crazy hearing doctors recommend birth control for the first 2 years after having such issues trying to conceive for 5years.

Hey guys! I wish you all the best of luck this month!! I'll be having surgery done end of may now after tax season and my hubby will be out of school and can focus on helping me recover. I'm glad he's finally come around and willing I go through this together but another waiting period... Feel like I've been waiting forever!

Great news about hubby :-) Very happy for you. All the support you can get, is great especially when it comes from your love It does seem to be a waiting game, that's the downfall. Hurry up and wait :-(
