My WLS hasn't been scheduled yet, but from what the doctor's office has told me, it will most likely be in February. I have my next appointment on Wednesday for labs. My endoscopy hasn't been scheduled yet but should be this month. I am hoping that the endoscopy comes back fine so there aren't any issues with me getting the sleeve. I am really hoping to lose 120lbs with the help of the sleeve, and I am anxious to get started. If I could have the surgery tomorrow I would do it!

Tomorrow is my day!!! Flying to San Diego then driving to Tijuana. I don't have an exact surgery time, but guessing it'll be late afternoon. I'm not looking forward to fasting for a full day!

Hi Everyone

Sorry I haven't been posting for the past 10 days. We (my room mate and I) had to leave our house on the 30th. We live in sunny hot Florida and when we got back from shopping on the 30th the house was 84 degrees inside. We immediately called the AC people and they came out but the AC was a frozen block of ice and they told us to turn it off and leave the house as it would be even hotter. We started packing and before we left it reached 89 inside. Fortunately we have a friend who is in a nursing home at this time and has been since June (that is another long story) and we were able to stay at her house, but she has no internet. We have come back to our home from time to time to do the laundry, wait for the repair man to come back or because the outside temps were down, but I was busy so I didn't get online much. The AC will not be fixed until possibly Monday the 11th or Tuesday. So I don't know if I will be back on line much till then.

I see some of you have had your surgeries and are healing nicely. Others finally got their surgery date.I am so happy those who have been waiting a long time finally have a date. HURRAY!!! I had to wait a long time and still have 18 days to go before my surgery. I am so ready for this and have been for over 2 months. Keeping me waiting 2 month beyond my last 6 month supervised diet appt was and is very difficult especially over the 3 holidays. I will be so glad when this is over and I am on the losing side.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

@ssflbelle So great to hear from you! Hang in there, the 11th is only a couple days away! I start my liquid diet on Tuesday, and am anxious for surgery on the 26th! Has anyone cheated on their pre-op diet phase, and still been OK for sugery? My fiance, daughter, and a friend are meeting for Breakfast two days before surgery at my favorite restaurant, and I'm wondering if it would kill me to have one last Breakfast. Not going overboard, just the normal eggs, bacon, toast and coffee. Thanks BP friends for your advice!

Yep I know. The heat down here is coming back as it was 85 inside this afternoon. We will be out of the house soon as we have a birthday party to go to at Red Lobster. I hope by the time we come back the temp will be down a bit.

You have a 2 week liquid pre-op diet? Wow that is strict. My Dr said I have only 1 day of Clear Liquids starting Monday Jan 25th. However I am going to do 2 days, so it will start on Sunday my Birthday. Saturday the 23rd my roommate is throwing me a Wine and Fondue Birthday party and I want to be sure all wine and food is out of my system for Tuesday.

      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.
