Getting nervous... never had any surgery before. However, I'd love to see my face again and I'm past ready to kiss diabetes goodbye.

Dec 16 is The Day it Begins.

Is your bmi around the 30-40s? I'm the same. Only one week per-op. I'm so happy about that

Yes it is 36.6. My surgeon did not mention that I had to lose any weight prior to the procedure? Did yours?

I have no week before pre-op liquid diet! My bmi was under 50 so they said they don't require it! So lucky

Everyone gets different times for the diet I guess.

I have a week of high Protein and 2 days liquid, no complaints there.

I only have 24 hours of pre-surgery diet and it's clear fluids. (40+ BMI). I'm feeling grateful for that. All doctors are different.

It's definitely a journey. I'm feeling fatigued due to me not getting as much of Protein but oppose to that I'm never hungry. I still crave for foods but I forever feel full. It's just the fact that I'm so use to eating food, it's hard to adjust to this new lifestyle! Are you nervous about your procedure?

I'm getting more nervous by the day! Still super excited and not about to change my mind, but it's the great unknown to me!

I'm so excited. I just got an email saying I could schedule my psych eval. I've met with my surgeon already. I called to schedule the appointment, and they had just had a cancellation for tomorrow morning. I've already beaten my goal weight for surgery by a few pounds, so I should be able to schedule the surgery this week. Possibly tomorrow, if the person who does scheduling has an opening.

I didn't think I'd be this excited at the prospect of scheduling surgery. Lol.

So I call the Dr's office today to see if we heard anything from insurance. She says "oh yeah you were approved last week." See you Dec 1 for surgery.

Got my approval letter in the mail on Friday, called the doctors office twice today trying to get talk to the lady that does the scheduling, she was unavailable both times ugh!!! I would really like to get this done before the end of this year simply because I have already met my deductible and next year my deductible goes from 500.00 to 1750.00; will make it work either way, but that is money I can spend on new clothes! Plus like so many others have said I take the end of the year off at work so it would be so much easier for me to be on the liquid diet without co-workers eating and trying to feed me all the time!

      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.
