chris_marie 32 Posted October 21, 2018 Hi. I am still waiting for approval. Hoping to get a date in NOV. Dec at the latest. Of course having met my OOP for my insurance I don’t want to start over next year 😭😭 so fingers crossed. I have been trying IF to prepare. I notice lots of different pre Surg diets and post surg diets. I guess every surgeon has developed his own plan that works. For me, when I get the date for surgery, I will do a 10 day liquid diet before. I am hoping the IF I am doing now will prepare me. I although it seems impossible to really prepare. Good luck 👍🏼 everyone. 1 paddyski reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deltadentist 6 Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Wow!!!! I am having surgery on November 6 as well. I guess we will all have turkey broth for Thanksgiving. I am excited even though I won't be eating my way through the holidays. I am excited about a new year and a new outlook. Hope we can all stay in touch along this journey. By the way, I am getting a revision from Lap Band to Gastric Sleeve.

kata0683 33 Posted October 22, 2018 I’m scheduled for Nov. 8 - three weeks exactly from today. I’m starting to feel very scared, especially when I reviewed my pre-surgical consult notes of all the potential risks. I worry what if something goes wrong, and then it’s like I did it to myself. But there’s that saying “everything you want is on the other side of fear.” I’m trying to live that and just have faith. Sometimes I get so excited thinking about how my life could be if I felt better about myself. If i could wear all the clothes in my closet. If I felt sexy. If I could kayak without worrying I’m over the weight limit. But then at night the fear and anxiety creep in. Just three more weeks...I hope I have made the right decision for myself, and for my family.You are not alone i am 3 days aways from surgery n was feeling the same anxiety. I think we have to remember why we are doing this. We will get thru thisSent from my SM-G930T1 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CristinHope 69 Posted October 22, 2018 So as I stated, my surgery date is Nov. 6th (YAY!). My surgeon only requires 24 hours of a liquid diet as pre-op. BUT I have decided that I'm doing the 2 weeks because I know it's great for my liver to shrink as much as possible. I lost 20lbs during my 4 month medically-supervised diet and my surgeon asked me to lose another 5lbs before my surgery. I want to be the healthiest I can be when heading into the operation so even though it's not required, I'm on the 2 week liquid diet with all of you! I've had 1 Premier Protein shake this morning and about 36 ounces of Water. I think it's going to be a looooong day! 1 paddyski reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
