Hi there my date is Oct 19th .. so excited finally seems real. I have been nesting as well. got all my vitamins.. bought some Protein Shakes that I like. some loose shorts and easy t=-shirts to pull on. getting all my nail polish off my fingers and toes. just have a running list of things I need to get done. that and work keeping me busy so I dont totally freak out.. in a good way. congrats to you!!

I finally got my surgery date! it's such a bitter sweet time for me. I waited for so long for it and now it's on paper and very real. I'm very much so in nesting mode... shopping and prepping have become a huge deal to me and at the same time a bit overwhelming W so many choices to make (in reference to pre-op diet). I am very excited and I hope there will be others to share this journey with since my surgery is October 28th I would luv a buddy to share and exchange information and suggestions with. My surgeon is Dr. Shirwinter from Memonides Hospital in Borough Park Brooklyn, NY. Looking forward to the new journey!

My original surgery date was supposed to be next Thursday (9/24), but I'm riddled with stomach ulcers. :( Doc put me on meds and I have a re-check mid October. My surgeon will schedule me for around that time - and move it again if need be. I'm looking at 10/22 or 10/26. Otherwise, 11/2. Hopefully these ulcers behave. I have ZERO pain from them - so it came as a shock.

      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.
