Hey everyone!

Thought it'd be nice to have a thread dedicated to our surgery dates!

I can't believe January is just around the corner!! Feels like just yesterday I was just starting this process.

I will be January 21st in Edmond, OK at WeightWise with Dr.Walton. I live near Chicago and will be flying out the 19th with my mom. We will be staying thru the 26th and flying home barring any complications.

The only thing left on my surgery checklist is to continue to lose my 5% and do my nov & dec monthly phone consults!

My surgery is scheduled for January 8. Getting a little nervous and excited at the same time. Just need the nutrition and Psychic consults the end of December. I can't wait to have energy to play with my granddaughter and able to walk our 5 mile trail again. My support is mixed, so I'm trying to educate to doubters and concerned. I had knee replacement in October and really found out how hard it is to move around with the extra weight. I'm at 327 and want to get down to 165 - 185.

Lovelaura, I am in OK but am using a different surgeon. Good luck with Dr. Walton! I have heard great things about his practice . My insurance requires me to go elsewhere, but my PCP initially recommended them.

Hi all I just got news I've been approved. Won't have a official date till Friday the 27th cause I guess they can't schedule me till after my nutrition class. Odd cause in their book it's after I've been approved. Anyways my pre op will be first week of january second week surgery.

      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.
