I Hope and Pray they check him for leaks and his health improves so he can focus on his weight loss in a "healthy" way...and that his medical problems are resoved..

Your Blog helped me. I wont be surprised and should be prepared especially from the site we are on..It has helped me so much!! I will be going through it in a couple days!! Go Sleeve!! Oh, and I'm happy for you, and proud of you!

I am due to be sleeved on June 24, I am on my pre op diet, 2 weeks. My Liver shrinking diet consists of 5 (8 oz) high Protein shakes a day. I bought the vanilla and choc. Today is day 3. Doing great! I get 4 "low carb meal tickets" in this 2 weeks. So this week I will have one meal Thurs. I am planning a breakfast. The other meal will be Fathers Day! The days I have a meal, I only have 4 shakes. Excitedwe are all due for surgery at same time! Good Luck!!!

Very interesting! You are doing so great!! I am pre op,I hope I do as good as you!

Here it is June 13, just wonder how you are doing?

I thought about the same thing as you..(chewing something, then spitting out),,when I go to my pre op..I like to look at others before and after pictures, for my inspiration..I hear the pre op is one of the hardest things to do, but my Nutritionist said it wont kill us,,we will survive! Hang in there!!

My surgery is June 24, My Birthday is June 2, and i want the yummiest Cake! I plan to eat my fill! Otherwise, I am really trying to stay on my 1200 cal diet, until surgery..My mind is already in that mode, and its better it stays there! I guess I will have a cake funeral!

I am pre-op and so far I paid $300 for Doctor consult, $355 for 2 nutrition classes, $288 for Pych Evaluation,(Ins paid $60) and waiting on Ins to pay the $900 Extensive Blood workup..I was surprised, b/c INS said it will pay for weightloss surgery,,and Nut, and Pych was a hoop I am having to jump through demanded by BC Insurance of Al..(teachers),,I havent paid the Pych b/c I will have to get a loan when this is all over..I also had to do a 6 month Dr Monitored weight loss Program (or weight watchers)before I have surgery..I amwaiting on a surgery date now.. I will do what I have to do..but Im having this surgery,,,jump in..do it..!! talk to ins company yourself...good luck!!!

I am thinking it has to do with your weight right now, I would HATE to have to do what your Dr, wnts..I am dreading the 2 weeks before,much less having to do it 1.5 month before. The 2 wks before, the liquid diet is to shrink your liver which sits right in front of your stomach..Maybe you need to ask him to explain more so it will give you more motivation to stick to it..Good Luck on your journey!!

You have come too far to give up. Dont let others talk you out of it..Be strong. Say a prayer for peace, and Put God in Control..then relax and let the best thing happen for the rest of your life!!

I am excited for you..I havenot had my surg yet(June) but every sunday, I am doing all liquid diet(protein shakes) to prepare my mind and body for what is coming..I know its hard..I heard it actually is the hardest part..so just think you will soon have it all behind you!!!

I have not had my surgery yet, but cant believe I am reading, after 3 days from surgery, you say you are Excited!! That really encourages me!

i am trying to navigate this page! I have made my decision to have VSG instead of RNY! I am in my 5th month of Dr Monitored weight loss, had my Psych Exam, and Nutrition Classes because my Insurance demanded..So..I supose I will have surgery hopefully in June...I am enjoing reading these posts, its all the little things I wonder about... I have lost about 20 lbs .and even started having Sunday be an ALL Liquid day..to prepare for the 2 wk before surgery pre-op diet...getting excited/nervous...but not giving up!!
