kymcakes 15 Posted October 23, 2014 I'm approved and scheduled for November 3rd! I don't think reality of it has set in yet , I planned soooo much and worried so much about getting approval now that I am I feel like I haven't learned enough and a whole new fear/excitement has sets in. I'm ready for the surgery to be over and the weight to come off! I feel the same way Elode. I did so much research in the beginning, but now I feel like I learned nothing and I am totally unprepared. I do however have several lists going...my "before" list my "after" list...my pre op diet lists, my post op diet list...a few puree food recipes I found around here. I'm very nervous but extremely excited at the same time. Yay for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sisterslim 18 Posted October 23, 2014 I FINALLY got my surgery date. November 13th. YES! YES!!!! I'm sooooo excited about this leg of my journey. I'm not a fool to think it will always be candy and Rainbows but I know it will be worth it all. With any major changes there will be an adjustment or transition time but anything worth having is worth transitioning for!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go4itLori 47 Posted October 23, 2014 Love the candy and rainbows... I start my pre-op diet on Monday. I heard that's the hardest part. I think the first two weeks will be difficult adjusting my habits. Best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nbw1220 58 Posted October 23, 2014 Day 3 on liquid diet. No hunger. I pulled out my back yesterday and was in the ER for 6 hours. I think that made get over the hunger real quick! Trying to take it easy... doctor said it should heal in a few days. I'm hoping it does or else I will have to push out the surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lost1 27 Posted October 23, 2014 There are going to be a lot of people who will not agree with your surgery both now and in the latter stages. You have to believe you are doing the right thing for you. I bet you have tried other ways to lose the weight like all of us have and were not successful. This has to be something you are doing for you. Well said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lost1 27 Posted October 23, 2014 My date is 11/24 (Got my date 1 hour ago). I am both nervous and excited. I will be having my gallbladder removed at the same time. I will start my liquid diet 2 days before surgery. ~ Colorado Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
