Hi Everyone! My surgery has been moved from November 12th to this Friday, October 3rd. I am 5 days into my 10 day liquid fast. It hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. I am getting a little sick of Protein Shakes but I only have a few days left to go. I am so excited to finally be at this point in my journey which began over 9 months ago! Good luck to all of you and I would love to keep in touch with fellow Octobers!

Hi! I'm going in on October 3rd and I'm a bundle of Nerves....I'm new to this site, and reading all these Feeds make me even more nervous.. I haven't got an endoscopy.... And I wasn't told to go on a liquid diet either....feeling so overwhelmed!

BigMAlways, I didn't have a endoscopy either. I'm right there with you on being nervous. My date is Oct 1st and I did have to do a 10 diet, just depends on what your surgeon wants. Now that it's just a few days away it's so REAL. Knowing that this is a life changer. I know I'm ready but I'll also be learning new things, that's a scary thought too, after all I've lived in THIS body for 50 years.

I'm scheduled the 30th and I have a stress test this Friday and for some reason he wanted me to do blood work on my period (cardiologist) so blood work tomorrow. The 22 I find out from my last two doctors if I'm good to go or not so fingers crossed everyone!

I was hoping for October as I finished classes today but was told October was booked and so was November .. So October is out for me :( End of December or January

I was supposed to have mine on November 12th but I called once a week to check for cancellations and now I am scheduled for October 3rd. I would ask to be put on the waiting list if there is one. Good luck!

Hi everyone, I have been following along and trying to get a chance to respond. Surgery is Oct 2nd and I have been a bit overwhelmed between getting ready, making sure family will be taken care of and work. So I finally have a minute. I will admit I am now a bit nervous but I know this is going to be a wonderful journey. I am happy to be on this journey with all of you. Its always nice to have people who understand. I started my pre op diet which was Protein but have changed to a Liquid Protein diet as I fill up fast and wasn't getting much food in me anyway. I will be thinking of you all during your surgeries. I leave for Mexico Wednesday morning and surgery is Thursday. I will post when I can. Best wishes and hugs to everyone :)

      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.
