Congrats!!

Surgery on January 12. On day 9 of pre op liquids. It does get easier as your surgery gets closer.

Thanks for the encouragement! Hoping I won't be as hungry after surgery.

January 12, can't come soon enough!

Last night was tough!! Wife and her best friend ordered pizza! My mouth was watering so bad i was practically drooling!! I was good and stayed the course. I just keep thinking this is my time to strengthen my will power.

Grocery store is the devil right now!! I swear if I have to walk by the rotisserie chickens again I may lose it!!

Got my approval in 5 hours which is Apparently unheard of!

Last appt was December 21, surged on January 12. Really depends on insurance approval

Ty, I'm excited and nervous all in one!

@ Downsizingdiva- The Bouillon cubes taste better than broth.

I'm scheduled for January 12. I have 2 weeks pre-op liquids only diet.

Happy New Year!

Day 5 here, feel the same. Cold all the time too

Day 4 was tough for me. Had to run some errands and skipped lunch shake. Passing my favorite restaurants was torture!! I am happy that I have dropped about 12 lbs already though. It's just a really crappy way to do it!

@ Cruuuumbs: She might be, I don't know. We have three handsome boys and I don't plan on going anywhere! I just want to set a better example for them and be around. Her mind seems to think all men are geared towards sex alone. So she may be worried I'll leave her, I dunno. I'm deeper than that and aspire for greater things!

Lucky!! I'm on 2 weeks all liquid diet. 3 protein shakes a day. I would kill for a meal!

Prayers for him. I will be sleeved the same day but I hope all goes well for him.

I know how you feel. My wife already informed me she does not support me and will not be at my surgery. As painful as it is, I'm still getting it done! Life like this is not living but merely existing! I want to live! Everyone dies, but not everyone truly lives. -Unknown

My nurse called and told me I was approved. She said they spent 5 hours on the phone with insurance and the last time I called I was told my plan didn't cover bariatrics. So I'm not calling because they are idiots.

I was told no caffeine before or after surgery.

Surgery on January 12, 3rd day into pre-op liquids. It's not too bad. Headache on day one but other than that, very doable!! Stay strong!! It will be worth it!

I'm in the same boat as you downsizingdiva. No food for two weeks prior to surgery. I can have sugar free jello, no caffeine, chicken Broth, strained soup, protein shakes. On day 3 here. Surgery in 2 weeks.

Good luck!! I'm January 12th here

Just remember the pre op diet is to shrink your organs. Your weight loss will come after surgery. You don't wanna have to be cut open over laparoscopic methods.

Get to start my liquids on 12/29. Doc ordered 2 weeks pre op liquids for a 01-12 surgery date.
