    Yeah, that is difficult for me too. But then I remember that I'm in this position because of my unhealthy relationship with food, and I want change. We can do it [emoji3]


    That's my thoughts too. My unhealthy relationship with food. I'm a recovering alcoholic/addict and apparently I suck at moderation. It's all our nothing. I have a huge network of support and the closer I get to my day, the more excited I am. We got this!!

    I start my 2 we diabetic liquid pre op diet on the 20th. I'm going tomorrow to get all my juices, broth, Chrystal light, and another big container of Protein Powder so I have 2 different flavors. My sleeve went from 7:30 to 7 am on the 3rd. I go on the 20th for a pre op class, registration, and my upper GI. I'll be so busy on the 20th I'll forget no food. Which will be OK until dinner. But I'm super stoked.

    week 1 has gone really well [emoji4] I do feel a bit of hunger here and there, but it's not too bad. And I'm already down 4-5kg (8-10lbs I think?)


    I'm excited to start mine because I'm that much closer to surgery. But, I went to the grocery store with my Family yesterday and I was sad walking down the isles. I was sad seeing all the foods I won't be able to enjoy anymore and foods I won't be able to have at all. My husband reminded me that this is for a good reason and I probably won't think about those foods much or any after my new lifestyle.

    I'm excited for you...i can't wait until I have a date

    You'll have a date before you know it. When I went to my doctor last Tuesday I was expecting a may or June surgery because his office told me they were scheduling 2 months out. Instead, they scheduled me for April 3, less than a month out. My higher Power working for me.

    When I went to see my nutritionist she gave me samples of different Vitamins and Protein Drinks and powders. I also had to have bloodwork done which showed I have a Vitamin D deficiency. She recommended I get the liquid gels and take 1000 iu a day

    Sweet. Protein powders are so expensive, but they're huge containers so well worth it. I got a chocolate mocha and then I'm going to buy mint chocolate chip. I was told before I have Vitamin D deficiency, but nothing recent. I know I'll be meeting with a dietitian and the hospital pharmacist during my class on the 20th.

    I'm so excited about this! If tgey called me and said I could have it Monday I would! My surgeon said he would do a 10 day liquid preop instead of 14

    I start my 14 day on March 20. I also have a 2 hour meeting with the nutritionist and other staff, an upper GI, and hospital registration. I can't eat after midnight then after my upper GI I start my liquid diet. I bought some Protein Powder and need to go buy my other liquids. Then the day before I have to do bowel prep.

    I have all of my stuff done except for the letter my referring Dr has to sign and then everything will be submitted to insurance. I hope the approval doesn't take long!

    I think once my Dr submitted all my requirements to my insurance, it took less than a week to get approved. I would have already had surgery, but my surgeon had some kind of surgery himself so I had to wait. He was the only Dr that takes my insurance at that facility.

    My nutritionist gave me a 14 day pre-op diet that includes Protein Shakes, Soups, sugar free jello/Popsicles and of course, lots of Water.

    That's what I got too. I have to drink so much Protein Drink (I bought different than the sample because they had pre mixed drinks and I bought powder). I have to drink certain approved things every 2 hours, then I have my free items like Water, flavored sugar free water, sugar free Popsicle, Decaf tea or coffee.

    We share the same feelings. I'm trying to get ready for the two week liquid diet by doing it one to two days per week. How do you feel about it?

    Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using BariatricPal mobile app




    That's a good idea. I've been waiting. Getting the things I need pre op and post op. Today or tomorrow I'm going to make out a list of things I need and write a sample menu of what I like. I got one, but not exactly of things I'll drink.

    Everyone's insurance is different. My cousin and my cousins wife got approved and had surgery in no time. It has taken me almost exactly a year to reach the requirements and have surgery. I was approved in November, but my surgeon had some kind of surgery so my first appointment with him was this month. Thankfully my surgery is in less than a month though.
