Hello! My surgery is scheduled for November 6th. I had my last appointment before my surgery this morning. I've managed to lose 7 lbs. over the last couple of weeks. I'm hoping to lose more before the surgery.

Hi Capricorn32: I hope you remember me. We wrote a few times. I see you don't have your "Notorious Novembers" image in your signature. Did you get my message about how to do it? If not...or if the instructions weren't clear...I am certainly still willing to help you. Hope you are well!

At last I can join you all. I wasn't sure if I would be a November or December, so I've just been lurking. My surgery date is November 13, and I've already been on a pre-op diet since my consultation last Saturday. I'm so excited.

Looking forward to getting to know you all,

Karen

Good morning fellow Notorious Novembers! :biggrin::biggrin::blush::biggrin:

I've been scheduled for my surgery on Monday, November 17th! I am so blessed - I had previously been approved for vacation the week of Thanksgiving, and with my surgery scheduled for November 17th, that means I'll have two weeks of recovery time! :w00t:

I'm so excited! I started this process in August, completed the nutritionist consult and the psych consult in September, and attended a info session in October. I was hoping to be banded in October, but this works out well because of the timing.

I'm happy to finally have a date and to introduce myself to the rest of the Notorious Novembers! :w00t:

Hey Jes I am also in the Lansing area! Who is doing your surgery?

I'm going with Dr. Yenemula at Sparrow. Are you going through Ingham?

Hi everyone! I'll be joining the Notorious Novembers on the 19th and I can't wait! After having my original date in September cancelled due to insurance problems, I was thrilled to get my UHC approval last Monday and a firm surgery date later that day.....best of luck to ALL OF US!!!:) (I may need instructions on the sparkly label thing!)

      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.
