I had mine 3/10. I kept mine on the down low for the same reason.
I'm still on liquids and getting bummed out. This has been the hardest thing I've ever done.

Mine is 4/17, what is the hardest part for you?

Hello, I'm new here and just looking to make some friends who are on a similar timeline. My surgery is scheduled for 3/28/17. I'm starting to get nervous []
About me: I live in the greater Cincinnati area on a 200 acre farm with my husband and our 5 dogs, 7 cats, 2 horses, and many cows and chickens. I am 34 years old and suffer from generalized anxiety and depression, and some social anxiety. I am an introverted person, so making friends online is easier. I love riding my horses, being outside, music, watching sports, and reading. After surgery I hope to get back into running, weight lifting, and hiking. I am an open-minded and sensitive person.
My biggest fear currently is that I will have the surgery and still manage to fail by regaining weight or not losing. I've struggled with my weight on and off since my teens.
Looking forward to sharing the journey!



Hi SarakNKY,

My surgery is scheduled for the 30th, I started my preoperative diet a few days ago, the first 2 days were difficult, but seems to be getting a little better! How's your preoperative diet going?
I'm actually from Ohio, but currently live in Texas.
I know this is is a difficult journey ahead of us, but we have to stay positive and not allow our past failures to determine or prevent our future successes! I look forward to sharing the journey ahead as well!

I am scheduled for the 28th also. My original date was 3/16, but I caught a bad cold and the doctor's office wasn't comfortable doing the surgery while I was sick. It was so discouraging as I had already done the two weeks of liquid diet, and it was cancelled the day before. Now I'm back on liquids and anticipating surgery on Tuesday. I would love to be connected with others who are having their surgery around the same time.

I had the chance to pick 3/28 but I chose 3/30 because it was closer to the weekend and less days of work for my hubby to miss. Now I am wishing I had chosen 3/28 LOL The wait is just so hard. I am sooooo ready to be on my way to saying goodbye to obesity. I just have to keep myself busy this week I guess.

      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.
