Any luck today ?? Been thinkibg about you! I too havr to kinda start withiut approval yet hoping it all goes through. In 30 days Ill start preop diet. Seems so far away! Keep me posted!!

My pre op diet starts Dec 4th... my last will be thanksgiving! Lol

Is anyone buying things pre op to prepare ? What kind of protein are you using ? I currently use Premier Protein as a ready made shake but I just ordered a sample pack of Chike to try different flavors of powders. Any must have items your surgeon has mentioned ?

He offered me 12/10 but Id have to start preop diet before even gaining approval from insurance. We are submitting to insurance 11/25 and diet would have to start 11/26. Not to mention thats 2 days before Thanksgiving! Lol. Ii am totally fine with skipping a thanksgiving meal however if I dont gain approval ill have to continue the diet until well who knows when so id rather plan on the 12/18!

I wish I could wait until day before lol. Im not scared or "worried" I think im nervous of the unknown. How will I feel. Will I not lose weight quick enough. Will I throw up all the time. Mines a week before christmas...I think will something happen and make me miss my 1 yr olds christmas morning. And thats just a handful of what keeps me up at night. I remind myself the positives but its just what I do! Lol

Mine is 12/18 and Im already a mess. I will be crying my eyes out until they knock me out. I will not walk out but I am trying to figure out how im going to sleep for the next 6 weeks! Lol

I have a 1 year old and can so relate! I have tried premier s chocolate and to me its good. You should give it a shot. After drinking muscle milk and whatever else I was so upset that I was going to have to drink this nasty stuff. I was shocked that this one actually tasted good! I hope it gets better for you!! I start mine 12/4 as long as all goes as planned. Seems so far away hut sadly not! Whats ur surgery date ??

I am a month away from starting my pre op diet but wanted to find some different shakes. My favorite is Premier Protein. They are premade and I buy them from Food lion. 30 grams of protein. Taste good!!!

Yay!!!! This is awesome!

So happy to see so many new people in the group! Yay for all the new surgery dates and approvals! I submit mine 11/25 and hopefully no issues with a 12/18 surgery date! Its a week before Christmas and with a husband on midnight shift and a 1 year old..this wont be easy. But it will be worth it. Really struggling with this but I have to hope Im making the right choice. :/

I am from Richmond Va!

I can totally understand how you feel. I will say at least he was so proud of you he wanted to share it! And im sure not a single person even thought about the number and they were just as proud!!! Be happy that so many people are happy for you!

Thanks! I hope its not bad. My husband works nighys and we have a 1 year old at home sooo im thinking this may be a little m8ni vacation. Maybe some silence! Lol. Until they wake me up and kick me out!

I will be a MESS in a month when I get there. I am the most impatient person...especially something like this! I can torally understand and hopefully you will have a date SOON!!!!

Ugh. Not excited!

Finally got my sleep study scheduled for 11/9! I have my 5th PCP appointment on friday and my FINAL PCP appointment 11/25 then its surgery date timeml. Cant believe its only a month away until im counting down the days to surgery!

My sleep study is nov 9th. Any suggestions ? I am almost positive I dont have sleep apnea but he required it :/ Not looking forward to it!
