My surgery date was 10/11/10. My process was slow as well but not a slow as yours. My pysch eval was in April and the surgery in October. I was on the pre op diet for 3 weeks and lost 20 lbs before surgery. It actually was pretty easy with the protein shakes.

I have been waiting for my evaluation for 18 months and still don't have it my phychiarist has been putting me off all this time well for the phych evaluation I will be going somewhere else I'm tired of waiting on him for this I still will to cont. to see him every 3 months but this is getting rediciulous...The new one says they can get me RIGHT IN...and accepts my inc. they are supossed to let me know how much I need to pay for it...I Hope it's not alot...It's one my surgeon recomends...

Palmela B. the time will pass fast. you can start to use the HMR shakes now to supplment a meal. Then when you are on them before the surgery it won't be so hard. Pickles will save you when you get on the shakes all the time. It takes the sweet taste away after awhile you want something to chew on dill pickles do the thing the bigger the better. Just remember this is a lifetime change.
