I have an appointment October 2nd with my pcp to get a referral for my consultation appointment October 12th. I really really really and did I mention REALLY want this? I've done all of my research and even have a couple of friends who have done it and are so happy with the results. I have three small kids ages 4, 3, and 1. I want to do this for my health and my kids. I hope I can get this done before the year is over.

I think you should have a sleep study done just in case. Ask to have an at home sleep study. I did because it was more convenient for me and it's cheaper for the insurance company. I have sleep apnea and I got a mask that was comfortable for me (nasal mask) I didn't like the other mask that covered nose and mouth I felt like I was suffocating lol.

August 19th here too. I start liquid diet August 5th Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Mine is August 19th. My insurance won't cover this so it seems to have been a very short time since I made the decision to have the surgery. I started the process last week of May. I'm not sure what else I have to do before the surgery. I have a three hour appointment on August 3 where I guess I'll be told all the details.

I just got scheduled for August 16th! I'm joining the group!

Why are you doing one anyway? Don't stress your body or mind anymore than you have to. Eat healthy and follow your surgeon's guidelines.

Close I'm Aug 18th ????

I pick it up on Friday and I am going to double check if anything else is allowed. I can have 3 to 4 Bariatric Advantage shakes a day.

Awesome! I have to start mine August 5th (liquid diet) are you allowed to have certain raw veggies? I'm allowed but that's it other than certain liquids and of course sugar free Jello, pudding and yogurt. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

so - I left and rejected all the other bariatric support sites because you were not allowed to say someone was making a dangerous choice.
this was the ONLY Bariatric support site I found where people are allowed to be real. I value that highly.

I'm a newbie. I feel like a lot of people are throwing pity parties.

I think the thing I miss the most is grilled cheese. But tough titties I can't have it. I miss Sprite when I'm nauseous (which is like all the time) tough crap I have to live with diluted Gatorade.
I knew I couldn't be around food early out so I skipped 4th of July and Memorial Day bbqs. Did it suck? Yeah! But I ate my oatmeal and Soup like a champ. food will always be there later.

Goodmorning everyone! Sending good vibes and prayers for everyone who has surgery today and this weekend! This is the best decision we could have made for ourselves . I'm now 3 days post op and so happy to be waking up in my own bed! I was able to meet my 64 Fl oz and 40 grams of Protein yesterday . If you guys are looking for a good protein that will help you meet your liquid goals as well.. I would recommend Isopure as it's 20 fl oz and 40 grams of protein all in one bottle! They have pretty decent flavors and are on sale at GNC (Buy 3 get one free) . Blue raspberry is my favorite . Sorry if I'm super excited but I can't wait to see where all of us are in 3-6 months!

It's been a long time coming. 27 days and counting now.

The surgery is about improving your quality of life... If having a social beer is your thing, when the time is right why not see if your sleeve can tolerate it... We all want to follow the rules but we need to adapt them to our lifestyle... If we feel deprived of everything we not going to have life long success.
