smkallen67 31 Posted July 7, 2015 Scheduled for July 31 but insurance hasn't given clearance yet. Such stress. But getting excited. I can't imagine it not going thru given I did all the work and meet the criteria. Hopefully will know by Wednesday. trying to get on the weight loss challenge on this forum but don't know how. Anyone have luck. Its for nine weeks starting monday. Sue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlburden 5 Posted July 8, 2015 My surgery is scheduled for July 28th. I start my liquid diet on the 14th. I'm so excited because it has taken so long to get to this point and I'm ready to get it done. But I get pretty nervous about it too. I'm not nervous about the surgery, but more about post-op. Will I really be able to do this???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I get pretty nervous about it too. I'm not nervous about the surgery, but more about post-op. Will I really be able to do this???? Same here, surgery 7/28 and pre-op diet starts 7/14. My pre-op diet will consist of 3 Protein Shakes and 2-300cal or lower pre packaged meals. I think I will be okay with that, but I'm really nervous about the liquid and puréed stage afterwards. How will I get all my fluids and Protein in? What are good choices? I had 6months with a nutritionist and I know we went over everything, I even have all kinds of paperwork, but I feel like I either overwhelmed or drawing a blank. I guess I better get it together before the 28th. Lol!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikiNRCMA 0 Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) I'm getting sleeved on 7/20. The process was extremely fast. I started my journey in April. Only had to see a psych, nutritionist, and the surgeon 1 time. I am going to a class on the 10 day Protein diet on 7/9 and then have my med clearance on 7/10 with my primary dr. I only had to do labs and a chest X-ray and ekg prior to my surgery. No other testing that everyone was saying...so far. I have bcbs and it took them about a week to approve. I'm excited to get this surgery, and hope that this forum keeps me motivated Edited July 8, 2015 by nrcmaniki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
