:thumbup:I just got my surgery date today and it is November 10. I'm so excited and I can't wait. Is there anyone else planning on having their surgery in November? I would love some support!

I am hoping to. All signs point to that if I get my approval before the end of October from insurance. Where are you having it done? I am at Baylor Southwest in Fort Worth, TX.

good luck with yours!!!

Me toooooo..... I'm scheduled for November 24th and I cannot wait. Papers don't get sent in for insurance approval until early November so hopefully that comes back quickly. I assume my surgeons office knows what they are doing :biggrin:

There are only a few threads in there right now, including a thread where we tried to decide on a Group Name, before finally deciding on Notorious Novembers. I imagine once we get closer to November the forum will pick up a little.

      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.
