Hey guys, havent been on in awhile and wanted to chat with everyone. My surgery is now only less than 5 weeks away! Got the call from the surgeons office today, scheduled bloodwork for tomorrow, upper GI and chest Xrays for next tuesday, Surgeon one on one next wednesday!

Next wednesday will be exactly 4 weeks before surgery.

You guys are gunna laugh but I have been scared to DEATH that i am going to get pregnant before my surgery. Just started my TOM and was bouncing off the walls happy for it! hahaha.

I only have one more month to get through and hopefully i dont get pregnant. My grandmother said "Lauren, you do know how you get pregnant right? it shouldnt be that hard to stop it."

Ha ha silly grandma, its been a long time since she was 21 and had a sexy husband! lol

anyway, check out my latest movie on youtube, and all 7 from the begining till now. here is the link to the latest one.

Love you all, look forward to hearing from you!

I am right there with you!!!! I found out today that my surgery is scheduled for 7/7! I've already done the chest xray, upper gi, etc. All i will need to do is pre-op stuff which is scheduled for 7/2. Not sure what that entails - but i am sooooo excited and ready for this next step!

no, because then id have to postpone the surgery! I dont mind getting pregnant after, but before would be an issue.

Yeah I suppose lol. Although I did hear about one woman that was pregnant during surgery and still had it,and then I was talking to a woman on the chat who had surgery over a year ago and had only just had her first fill because she got pregnant straight after surgery. Either way good luck =)

      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.
