Made it my doctor does no allow any liquids, ice chip till tomorrow. Meany

Thanks Beni. My surgery was Oct. 7th. 1 week post op. Things are going well. I really enjoy our October group. You guys are all so supportive.

I'm down to needing pain drugs twice in a 24 hour period. The doctor will release me to drive when I have been off them completely for 48 hours. Maybe that will happen by next week? I wouldn't be in a rush if my husband were in town. His being out is a little bit of a game changer.

I have to be at the hospital in 5 hours so need to get some shuteye, nighty night! wish me well, hope my doc feels that I have cleansed enough.

I can't wait to cross over here! :D
Auri--My family had taco freaking pizza tonight!!! :angry: But you know what, we're going to look SO amazing very soon and we won't care about what foods we're missing out on!!

Oct 1st here , going to the doc Thursday as well ,can't wait until the next step purée ! Sounds yummy to me at this point . Can't wait til all the others to cross over to the post side ????

Hope I am successful in finishing my bowel prep and make it to the losers bench tomorrow, I don't want to delay!!!

Hey, hey. October 2nd here. So waiting for Thursday to actually be on pureed food. Spaghetti was for dinner tonight, I am so sad.

Congrats on your surgery date!
I am from nola too
I am waiting on one dr. To send my report in, it's been three weeks as of tomorrow. I called his office today and of course he's not in. I was hoping to have my case turned into the ins. Company by last week.

I'm sharing your surgery date with you. Looks like I'm sharing your stats too. Best of luck to you.

Congrats on your date. You will be fabulous 50!!! I am on Oct. 7th. I have over a 100 pounds to lose.

Hey @@NOLAGal, I am scheduled for 10/14, 7:30 am. I am doing a one week liquid diet, starting Tuesday. what about you for liquid diet? Seems many doctors do many different plans.
Good luck and there are a couple different threads for us October folks.

My surgery is scheduled for 10/14 at 11:15. I am 60 and have 100 pounds that I am giving back to the universe. Last time I lost 70 I found them! So now off they go to those in 3rd world countries our parents warned us about.
Good luck to all in our new adventure. I hope to have more contact with my fellow fall 2014 loser friends here. Cheers!

Hi NOLA gal. Good luck on your surgery coming up on the 8th. You're going to do great. My name is Jenn and I'm having surgery November 4th. I live in Maryland but in the Maryland DC Northern Virginia area. The hospital I'm using is in Northern Virginia. Have a few more appointment

My post got cut off before I was finished. Anyway I have a couple more appointments to take care of but I already have my approval so the surgery is going to be here before I know it. How's your pre op liquid diet going? Keep us posted on how you do once your surgery happens. Thanks good luck

I'm not in October but on nov 5th. I turn 50 next October and need to loose about 110lbs. Have told only my husband, kids and two close friends. I want to do this for my health and now that my kids are either married or in college it's time to focus on myself. I'm a bit nervous but super excited too. If I can figure this sight out I hope to connect with a few so we can support one another!

Hello Everyone:
My surgery date is scheduled for October 8th, 2014 and I am ecstatic. I currently weigh 280 pounds and I am 5'9" tall. I would like to lose 100 pounds by my 50th birthday (July 11th, 2015). WOW...that would be an awesome 50th birthday present to me.
I have only told my husband and immediate family about my surgery. Therefore, I would love to meet new friends on here to support each other and to share our experiences.
If you would like to exchange emails or phone numbers to support each other, please let me know.
Thanks!!!!

Good Morning NOLAGal,
My surgery is scheduled for October 14, 2014. The only people have have discussed my surgery with are my husband and my best friend. This is my first time joining an online community. I think it will be important for me to have the support of others. I turned 50 last December and really wanted to make a fresh start. I'm looking forward to following your progress.
