I'm schedule for Tuesday, June 1st. I am a little nervous but really excited. I know I have a long journey ahead but am so ready. I'm expecting that on about Sunday I'm going to be asking myself "what have I done?" But am mentally prepared to answer myself...you're on the way to the new physical you you've always wanted.

Good luck Beachnutty!

Congratulations everyone! Almost there!!!

I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. I'm actually kinda looking forward to it. I indulged over the holiday weekend and feel pretty sluggish and heavy now.

Anyone else worry that your family and friends are getting tired of hearing about your surgery and post surgery lifestyle so often? They've been super supportive, but I seem to turn every conversation into speculation on my future sleeved life!!! I'm just so excited!

June 15th for me as well... I've known this was coming for months but it seemed so far away. The insurance approval/surgery date scheduling call made it feel very REAL all of a sudden!

Mine is June 14th. I had my first consult June 15th 2015. I was scheduled for today, but it's best I get it on the 14th cuz my daughter getting out of school and my sister is gonna help me. So anyways, i need to drop weight. I gained alot in.a year. Consult was at 279 I was 300 about a week ago and 290 today. I need to get to 269 by atleast the 8th at my pre op appointment. My surgeon doesn't do two week liquid diet, just a 24 hr liquid. Anyways, hope you're doing good.

I think the closer we get to surgery, it not only becomes more real for us but also the people that love us. Ideally, they would be able to share their worries and fears in a more positive way but sometimes even really good friends have a hard time communicating about sensitive topics and for a lot of us weight IS a rather sensitive topic. Of course friends and relatives might resent losing the person that made them feel less guilty about their own poor habits and they might just fear losing the FUN part of a person that's already a blast to be around. Just remind them how much more fun you'll be when you have more energy and the confidence to do more!

FWIW - When I start to feel nervous I hit up YouTube or these boards to watch and read the success stories and it helps me remember why I made this choice.

      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.
