I looks like I will be having surgery sometime during the week of November 16th. I need two more surgeon visits, sleep study, psych eval - and that's it! This has been a long process for me as I had my first surgeon appointment January 2013 - but was just not psychologically ready to make the decision back then. Now, I am completely sure this is the right thing. Feeling hopeful.

I'm hoping for the first week of November but don't have anything set yet. I've got to lose 38lbs (already down 11 of those) and have my sleep study, which is scheduled for October 2. I'm also having my psych eval this month on the 23rd. If everything works out like I'm planning, I'll be scheduled the first week of November. Because of work, I can't go any later than that which means I'd have to wait until January. Fingers crossed I can pull this off!

Dr. Mitchell Roslin in NY.

Went shopping yesterday with my friends and I realized - in less than 6 months, I will be able to go to stores like the Gap and banana Republic and actually be buying instead of holding bags while they are trying on....

I have been researching like a mad woman...

I am November 6th...I just have a few last minute things to get on payday this week and then Im done. Vitamins, Protein shakes, shopping lists for post op, gown for the hospital, bed pillow, slip on tennis shoes.

Is it lame that I want to hire someone to clean my house spotless before my surgery so that I can enjoy myself for the weeks Im home after? I already budgeted for a housekeeper, for a hairsalon appointment, pedicure and massage. A last full day for me before I go in for my NEW self surgery. Im only taking off 12 work days and that gives me 18 days from surgery to the office. But the week I go back we only work for 2 days then its the holday vacation so I will basically be getting 3-4 weeks off to recover. Im super excited for what the next year will bring. 2015 will be a new life for me and my son. AMEN! :D

      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.
