I can't believe it's May already! I'm in the same boat as you' date=' just a bit scared. I've jumped through a lot of hoops to get this far and the alternative to not having this surgery is the continuation of my health and lifestyle on a downward trajectory. Weigh the pros against the cons and you'll see that you're doing the right thing :)[/quote']

I would love to have my surgery on May 17th! Count me in! Now, all I need you to do is call my insurance & surgeon to explain that I need to get approved & scheduled right away so you can have a buddy. ;) Do you think they'll go for it? Lol. Seriously though, I can't wait to get approved & get an actual date set. Congrats on the 17th, it's right around the corner..

I can't believe how fast this is happening! I am still a bit scared. I pray I am doing the right thing!

I think we all have asked that same question a dozen times to ourselves, but it definitely is the best and healthiest decision we all have made in a long time. We are all gonna look and feel awesome. :-) Hang In there, cause we are in for the ride of our lives. It's going to change our lives for the better.

Best of luck and good health to all who are making this big life change. And it is our overall health improvement as to why we are doing this (and of course it doesn't hurt our self esteem either). My May date is the 24th and I am very ready. I'm ready to hopefully relieve some of my back and feet pain. I'm ready to run (or walk briskly) after my 2 year old and not be tired and out of breath. And most of all' date=' I'm ready to start living again![/quote']

Well spoken! Congrats and welcome. I cannot wait to start this new journey. I will add you to our May Surgery List. :)

Going for my pre op EKG today, hopefully it is the last test I will need to do to get the all clear. I almost wish I could get in there and get the surgery part out of the way ASAP. The actual thought of being put to sleep has started to frighten me, although I have had anesthesia before. I guess normal jitters and worries!?

      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.
