I don’t have my date yet, but it will be in June. Feeling a little nervous about such a major change to my body.

I am new to this site ... My doctor said that I need to lose 15 lbs before scheduling surgery .. did any of you have to do that? I am starting to eat like if I had the surgery already and working out like cray to lose those 15 lbs by next month. I am ready to get this surgery too !! Good luck to all of you with upcoming surgeries. I’m looking forward to reading your journeys.

Other than a phone call 6 weeks ago to tell me my date was June 12th, I've heard nothing from the hospital since (except when I called back to ask how long my LRD should be). I am in UK and paying privately, have no idea when my pre-op is, what my particular surgeon recommends for LRD, feel really scared and this isn't helping. Feel like I can't plan for what I need - and I like to plan!

Trying to not let the anxiety eat me alive haha... ha.. 😱

Took some 'before' photos yesterday... That was a good motivation, to remind me I'm making the right decision!!

Me too! Just got scheduled for my pre-op and pre-registration with the hospital. Got the final numbers as far as my cost after insurance from the surgeon. I guess I'll get it from the hospital when I pre-register.

It's getting really real now. Nervous, but anxious to have it done. Start my liquid diet next week, but am doing a semi-liquid low-calorie diet this week to get prepared.

      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.
