malijah 10 Posted February 27, 2014 Uh I'm so disappointed... Instead of a march date that I expected my dr is going on vacation so my surgery date is April 8 7:30am. I was told to stop the liquid diet but continue to eat high Protein low carbs and losing weight then I have to restart a week before the surgery. The wait is killing me!!

Cookiesgotthis 50 Posted February 27, 2014 I know the feeling, my tentative surgery date was Jan 24th then the insurance wanted more documentation, then the next available date was February 11th but I had something going on... then the doctor had something going on and I got a Feb 28th date then started pre-op diet got call reschedule to March 3rd. As anxious as I was it goes by pretty quick now all my labs are done and Monday morning I go under at 7:30am!! My surgeon is now starting to use the robot for robotic assisted surgery. So the wait may have benefitted me! Uh I'm so disappointed... Instead of a march date that I expected my dr is going on vacation so my surgery date is April 8 7:30am.

beckyloo4 40 Posted February 28, 2014 I have all my prescriptions filled and my date for surgery is March 13th. BCBSIL received my paperwork from the doctor on the 24th, just waiting for the final approval. Hopefully by Monday or Tuesday I know I'm good to go. I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow. 2 Blue614 and Froggy63 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time will go by quickly, I went through the same thing, I was approved on 1-5-13 and had to wait until 3-17-14. It's worth the wait 1 Froggy63 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amc2014 53 Posted February 28, 2014 My tentative date is March 17th. I didn't have any particular amount that they told me to lose. I lost at the beginning and then gained some around Christmas but lost 14 since then. i didn't loose any this month. i'm worried to and Monday I have my last weigh and start my liquid diet too. i'm drinking Water, water, water and i'll be at the gym all weekend. i hate being this close & having this uncertainty. & i can see the inches coming off and it doesn't reflect the scale. so frustrating.

I like 1 chicken cube, one beef cube, and some onion powder. I bought a couple of types of Popsicles and a lot of yogurt. I bought some cottage cheese tonight because I was desperate for something different. I bought a couple of kinds of juice but I limit how much of that I have since it's high on the carbs. 1 amc2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
