My date is tomorrow 4 June in the afternoon. I’m very excited and nervous. I’ve really appreciated the information on this forum. For those scheduled for tomorrow you’ll be in my thoughts, wishing you a swift procedure & a fast healing xx

I hope you are feeling well after your surgery. Mine was yesterday, as well, I am home now and feel pretty good. A little sore, but none of the anticipated post-anesthesia nausea.

Good luck and I'll be following your progress.

Hi! I just got my surgery date this evening, July 17. Six weeks to mentally and physically prepare, and try not to let anxiety get the best of me!

Wow am I late to the party! But I should be having my surgery next month. I have one final (my 6th) Nutrition appointment the 21st and then they will schedule me for surgery. My Mom just had her bypass yesterday! She had a few days over two weeks between her last nutrition appointment and her surgery date so I am hoping to have mine early July.

Hang in there everyone who is waiting for a date or just waiting for their date to come and are letting the panic and anxiety creep in, you will get through this. My mom went a little manic before her date. You will be there so fast, I keep reminding myself of that. It will be here before we know it!

Good Luck to everyone!!

And speedy healing to those who had theirs yesterday with my mom!

I don’t have my surgery date as yet, but I’m hoping for July! I have done all the classes, had all the tests except one and have to go back one more time to see the Shrink!
I’m getting excited! I’m sure this will help me!😊

Nnoi her palname is @CMD516 .Really like the interchanges I've had with this far.Remember the Daytime Columbus interview DR S had with Gail Hogan on WCMH, seemed very nice--- I hope he treated your mom nice, how is she feeling now? She can't be any more manic than me, I already threatened on Bariatric Pal to do my,own surgery with a box cutter, fishing line, 3 hair clips and a Swingline Stapler, that was if somebody didn't schedule me a date soon. Let's hope Dr Needleman doesn't read Bariatric Pal or my Little Blue Tugboat just got torpedoed!🚢BOOM!!!

Thanks Frustr8 just messaged her. I missed that interview. He treated mom great she is doing great pain obviously but doing really well coming home tomorrow.

Box cutter, fishing line, hair clips, and a stapler. I like it! Should have thought of that myself saved a lot of time and money!

Just being snoopy-what exactly is an XT 1635-01? A smartphone, laptop, regular computer? One gal, it always quotes her as being on a Samsung, when I started it quoted me as being,on a LG but after I upgraded to the Beta App it doesn't mention it anymore. Maybe Ken S and the group have decided I'm family, got a philosopy about that

I had my preop appointment today. Everything is paid for and now I'll have met my out of pocket for the year! I was a little nervous because I'm on day 3 of antibiotics for strep throat but they said I'll be fine for surgery on the 20th. Start my liquid diet on Thursday.

      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.
