I don't have an exact date yet...but I was told most likely it will be November 3rd...but it could also possible be the 10th. Either way omg it's sooooooo close. I'll have an official day toward the middle of October.

i've been putting off confirming the date in this forum for fear of jinxing myself, but i think i'll be okay.

i have the best nurse coordinator, sylvia, in the world! she managed to schedule me for surgery nov. 20, my first choice date!

the only thing that could change that now is if anything goes wrong in my appointments over the next few weeks.

i have a group support meeting oct. 9, appts. with the nutritionist and the personal trainer next friday Oct. 10, my psych appt. oct. 15, an appt. with the nurse oct 24, FINALLY an appt. with the surgeon nov. 5, and then it's smooth sailing (besides the pre-op diet...) until surgery nov. 20!

i'm so excited!! after two years of debating the surgery.... i'm afraid to talk about it like it's actually happening!

I was finally approved by insurance last Friday, September26th. My surgery, with Dr. Brad Ray, Bloomington, Indiana, is set for November 6th!

It's been a little over a year since I started my journey. I quit carbonated soft drinks on Jan. 1st and beer on Jan. 26th (not as awful as I thought it would be :w00t:).

I'm very excited and a little nervous. Ready to go!

Hi All:

My surgery is also with Dr. Geiss on November 20th :)

Quick question...I've been trying to add the "Notorious Novembers" to my signature (tried using a couple of different websites by clicking on some of the other posters' signatures) but whenever I create and then copy the code, try and paste it into the "signature picture" (option 1 - where it says to enter URL) and hit save signature, I get the message, "invalid file"....what the hell??? What am I doing wrong? Can someone please tell me how they got their signature to work! I would soooo appreciate it! Thanks.

Don't enter the code into Signature Picture, just enter it straight into your Signature box, where you've got the rest of your Signature typed out. It will convert the code to a picture. Try it out! Hope it works. If not, send me a private message with your password and I'll add it for you if you can't figure it out. I did that for Jaculin412 last month, hehe. :thumbup:

      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.
