Recommended Posts

I just recently changed jobs so I don't have that to worry about. If I was at my old job, if one person knows, everyone knows.. So I totally get that!

You're going to be successful! Just in calorie intake you will lose weight so don't worry! :)

Yes I have lost my total weight already that was my goal for WLS, so I'm not too worried, but I heard about a slump you go thru after awhile.. Just have to keep moving even tho it's hard Bc I'm a hairdresser, on my feet all day, I find it hard to walk after work..

I totally get the moving thing, I'm a teacher so I'm constantly up and moving so when I get home I just want to crash. Something I have to add to the fix it list haha

I just changed my surgery date to December 18th, so I hope it's okay to join in here.

I ended up having to move from October, and while I'm a little worried about the wait, it works out better as I have time off and holidays off so I don't have to go back to work until Jan. 5th. :)

Will be a great start to 2015!

Of course you can join in! The more the merrier!

I'm having my surgery December 22nd for the same reasons as you. I have the holidays off so it just made sense to do it then.

Haven't gotten my surgery date yet, but pretty sure it will be in December and I would love to join in with supporting each other!

I don't have a date yet but it will most likely be the end of December given my weigh-ins, etc. So exciting :)

I'm hoping for a December date. I'm actually on track for November but want till wait until after finals (December 10th) My file goes to the insurance on October 28th. I'm hoping that will be enough time for it to come back and then book a date. Does everyone already have their dates already?

It's good to see so many others scheduled for December, I was starting to feel like the only one scheduled so far out. It sure seems like a long time away but I know it will probably go quickly.

Hard not to be envious of those darn November sleevers and their quick scheduling though. :)

I have my date set for December 17th in Tijuana!! The waiting is definitely killing me, but I have a month off from work so its for the best I guess. Im honestly more worried about the flight over than the actual surgery :blush:. I cant wait to hear all of our sucess stories

      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.
