Find another counselor and a baraiatric center of excellence with the whole team of people dedicated to your success. If your pcp is not on board get another one. Don't let anyone stand in your way. Blow past them and make this happen. It's your health, your body and your life. Tell everyone who has an opinion to shove it. Keep your surgery a secret and only tell who you count on for support.
Beet decision I ever made. Mine is still a secret and will continue to be. If someone says something negative to me I am ready willing and able to bite their effing head off!
Take care and be strong.
Make your life the one you want!!!

I have done my research...... and I am not talking a day or two, I am talking years.... 5....5 years. I am shell fish free, a celiac, dairy intolerant, and now soy. I have been grow tumors since I was I very little. This operation, is many ways, may be the only way I can try and live a more normal life. I have asked so many questions, and continue to ask questions, because I know, "not every one is the same" ..... but why is my counselor trying to almost talk me out of it. she keep throwing all the worst cast in my face, and then all she try to trip me up by asking questions to me like she does not know the answer already. DAMN if I wanted people to debate me with my choice to try and get healthier I would tell people who sell plans like 21 day fix...... Why is it so hard for people to past judgment on me cause I am over weight, and not as healthy as I want..... but as soon as I through in the towel, cause ever diet, exercise, and life style goal have not worked enough they get mad again. Now that I have gone to the point where I am going to change my digestive patterns to add in my ability to lose the fat, they are screaming about that. over and done with people not being happy for me! its not like my weight problem is effecting them!

I am having surgery on 10/23/17

I am 6 weeks, 6 days away from my operation. I have done all the work, the required weight loss, classes and pre-authorizations. Now I have 2 more weigh ins, my "head cheek", and the nutritionist visit. I feel like so much I still don't know. Like when I start the "prep diet". My last weigh in is not to October 19, I am on the table October 23. Everything seems like it is last minute. I am also having a hard time finding a Protein Shake that does not cause me a reaction. (shell fish, gluten, dairy and now soy free.....uggghhhhhh!!!) Should I be worried? why does it seem like I am the only one that wishes I had all the steps, play by play weeks ago?? I recently was sent a copy of a friends paper work and it has sooooo much more information then I have been given at this point. I am sure I am going to get it, and I know all doctors are a bit different but dang.... I am a planner.....

I didn't see an OCT thread, so let's make one! I just got my date today and it's 10/9! Any other October dates yet?

My preop diet was 3 weeks before surgery.
I see alot of people saying there's was 2 weeks before surgery.
Some people say their doctor required liquids only for the weeks leading up to surgery.
Mine was simply low carb and low fat.
Two days of clears before surgery.
The really hard part is post op.
I am 5 days post op and I am so hungry and can only have Clear Liquids.
