Psyched 91 Posted November 22, 2018 I received approval from my insurance company today; so, December the 6th is official for me. I am so grateful because I didn't want this to drag into the new year. There is already a waiting list for the remainder of the year and I am grateful not to be on it. I start my liquids only diet Friday. I am a little nervous just because it is such a life changing move. The unknown after the surgery is what makes me nervous. What will my recovery look like, reintroducing foods when the time comes, etc. It's a nervous excitement though because I decided to do this in July, I haven't looked back and now I am here. I am a little nervous because it is such a life changing move, but I am so excited because it is a life changing move. I am so ready. Looking forward to supporting others along the way! 6 1 SarahBoBera, kfaery215, Jacie63 and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kfaery215 14 Posted November 23, 2018 My pre-surgery work up is Tuesday and I'm super nervous. A liquid diet scares me because I hate the taste and texture of Protein Shakes. Hubby is not on board so I feel I'm in an uphill battle for support. I work full time and go to college full time getting my bachelor's. On top of that I have a 10 year old boy and 7 yo boy with autism. I'm doing this for me to be healthy to be there for my family.

Lolo 2020 236 Posted November 23, 2018 I start liquid diet December 6 and do surgery December 20. My only concern is if I could stick to a liquid diet , I would have done it already and wouldn’t need surgery !😬 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just know that the liquid part is temporary and I cant lose the weight I need to on my own. Just remember its gonna be hard but it will be worth it!

Jordie 3 Posted November 23, 2018 December 10th for me! So excited! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessicarose 0 Posted November 23, 2018 I’m scheduled for December 20th. I’ve been on my track since February and I chose December because I’ll already be off for winter break and won’t lose too many days of work. I’m nervous about going back to work after and how the adjustment is going to be, with me, my other teachers, and my kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
