Yes it is! I'm still in shock mode because it happened unexpectedly fast! I'm just so thankful everything went through. I was starting to feel discouraged and a bit stressed emoji30.png

Oh I totally get that. The amount of stuff I had to go through from almost the beginning of this year till I got my surgery date was insane. Even having to GAIN 20 pounds to make the BMI mark, and that was actually a lot harder than what I thought it was going to be. I'm SOOOOO sick of fast food right now. But we are here and IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN :)

Congrats!!! My date is October 20th. Just confirmed yesterday. Not complaining at all but I feel so rushed. Like I don't even have a month to get my head around it.

October 20th! This is happening kinda fast for me. Like I feel like I really need to wrap my head around how much my life will change in less than 30 days! Also I'm get worried easily and question if I can get my clearances in time. I'm sure I can, I'm just anxious.

So yesterday was bad. I cheated on the diet and had some Nachos and I feel horrible about it. It wasn't even worth it because they didn't even taste good. Today is a new day but I'm back on the diet and I think this slip up has only made me stronger.

Pretty sure your body forgives you, and it sounds like your spirit will too! I'm sure you will do well with your surgery. I don't care for the pre op, but it tastes much better than it did when I started, no hunger. I imagine "other" food would be gross tasting, and your share certainly helped me! Thanks for being so generous! Are you from Butte MT? I have family all over the area there, although we are in NC.

Had bloodwork yesterday and pre-anesthesia consult. Have EDG tomorrow, last hurdle!!! Getting real.

Pre-op liquid diet starts 16 days and surgery in 26.

Get this - my 3 daughters in support of their mother are going to do a liquid diet with me! 💞 They have from 20-50 lbs to lose. LOL Should be interesting!

My surgery date is October 3rd 2017 5 days to go!!! Prop diet is going well! I made sure I had different flavors of Protein Drinks Sams had Carmel banana cream chocolate and I got a fuzzy Navel flavor from the Vitamin shop. It's so good. So if have a variety it's not bad! Good luck!!

      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.
