6 months really does fly by! Think about where you were 6 months ago... Doesn't seem that long ago does it? Hang in there, you got this!!

So encouraging to hear you are doing well! Get some rest, and keep us posted!

Thanks! I just hope I can keep it up for two weeks!!

Thank you ALL for your input! So today was day 1 of my own 2 week pre op diet... Not too bad, I'm just now getting really hungry, but I'm about to go to sleep so I can stave off the hunger BTW this is what I ate today... High protein/ low sugar shake... Greek yogurt , sf pudding ,string cheese and tomato soup for supper with a sf popcicle after that ... Not too shabby! Is that about right??

I was scheduled for my pre-op today (surgery scheduled for March 20) and right before I left home, my insurance coordinator called me to reschedule! (Boo). She said that my insurance is requesting weight info from '09 and '10. Now, I did my 6 month supervised dr visits and she submitted all that ,but they came back with needing the '09 and '10 weights. We rescheduled for next Monday... But that's only 1 week from surgery! I feel like that's cutting it close, but here's my question....I thought today they would have had me start a pre-op diet but when I asked about that today, I was told that my surgeon only requires pre-op diet for patients with a BMI over 50, so I won't have to do the pre-op diet (???) I'm so confused because I thought from everything ive been reading, you have to shrink you're liver. BTW... My BMI is at 49. I wonder if you guys think I should put myself on the liquid diet just to be on the safe side or will I be ok NOT doing any type of pre-op diet?? I'm so confused...advice please!!

You have made my day! You look AMAZING!! So beautiful! If you can do it, I can do it! keep up the good work!

Hi everyone! I finally decided to post today, although I have been lurking since November! I have gotten SO much useful info from you guys, this is such a great forum with an awesome group of people! I'd love to be a part of your weight-loss family Here's my story in a nutshell... Decided after a lifetime of struggling with my weight to take the plunge with WLS. I started my journey last September, my insurance required 6 mth Dr visits, and here I am! Pre-op Monday march 5th and then surgery scheduled for March 20th! It seems like such a long road to get here and now that I'm here, I'm feeling really anxious :/ but I know it will change my life! I start my 2 week pre- op diet this Tuesday... Wish me Luck!!!
