My surgery is 11/8. I just started the pre-op diet today. I'm excited and anxious at the same time and I'm hoping that these next few weeks go by fast.

November 5th here!! Day 2 on pre op, it's tough.

I think it really varies from company to company. Does your surgeon's office have an insurance coordinator? That person would be able to give you an idea of how long your insurance company takes. I hope it is real soon!! Hang in there.

Oh yes you got this!!!! Sometimes we just need a little aid (WLS) to get us to where or whom we were meant to be!
Keep me updated on how it goes, I'll keep you in my thoughts!!!!!

Me too! I'm more excited than nervous. 99%excited to 1% nervous . This liquid diet was a b***h but this is the beginning of our new lives! God bless you and good luck with your surgery. 😃

Hey! I'm doing good!!! I followed my Dr to a T about pre op instructions. They said my liver was perfect and such. I forced myself to get up and walk. I did not want to however. It was more painful then i was prepared for however getting up and moving as soon as you can will help you sooooo much.
Right now im on mushie stages but i feel like i pushed myself to get there and alot of days I go back to liquid because i know my stomach isnt ready. Just listen to your doctors and your body. You got this!!!!! Good luck!!!!!

How are you doing? I am down to 4 days to go. Anything you can think of that you would have changed going in or when you came out that you have done and regret??

Thank you everyone. It all went well. I woke up with a lot more pain then what I anticipated however my nurses were on top of it!!! I was walking w/in 20 min of waking up and getting into my room ANNNND was released the same day to go home, I was super proud of myself. I now am back to work ( I work at a desk) and I am in some pain and super uncomfy butttt I'm pushing through!

I am self pay so I went in first time to meet surgeon on October 2 and he said we could do surgery in as little as 3 weeks.I chose November 19th and meet with the nutrionist on October 16th.I did great then on the 28th I told myself I had to go to Flanagins and have my last be bad day Oh and did I 20 wings,fircracker shrimp,tumble weed oinion straws,and 2 pitchers of beer.I was disappointed in myself cause it really caused me to stop loosing weight and show a gain on the scale.I was back on track the next day and down 21 pounds .My surgeon says 1 week liquid only but I think Im going to do almost 2.I meet with him this Tuesday for my pre opp so we will see what he says.They say the more you loose before surgery the better chances you wont have any complication and I want everything to run as it should post opp.SO SHOULD EVERONE ELSE ON HERE SO HAVE A LAST BAD DAY OR MEAL THEN MUSTER UP SOME WILL POWER AND DO AS YOUR SURGEON AND NUTRITIONIST SAYS THEY DO THIS ALL THE TIME AND KNOW WHATS BEST.good luck to everyone .

If you have a walmarts you can order the Premier Protein shakes and they will ship free when you spend a certain dollar amount. I think it's like 35?

My food funeral was the day before I started pre-op 2 weeks of full liquids. My BF was sweet and made my favorite meals knowing it would be awhile before I saw any of it.
I didn't want to gain weight because I was already stressed over the liver shrinking diet. I heard and read horror stories of surgeries being canceled mid-way because the liver was not small enough.

I'm now almost 7 weeks post op and happy I followed directions and the things I thought I'd miss, I really don't.

I had my "last supper" because I'd convinced myself that it was the last time I'd have those things. Well I was right and wrong. In December, 2017, i gave up bread, rice, Pasta and potatoes...it was hard because I really loved bread. Im almost six months post op and down 62 pounds. I've had some sweets, but can only have a few bites. Your new sleeve will not hold much. What you're experiencing is normal. Most of us have been there. Trust me, when you start to lose weight, you'll look at foods differently.

I'm going to try. Monday is my big trip to buy a ton of shakes and puree baby foods. I've already gained 10 or 15lbs since my first appointment. I am scared of when I go back, which is the day before my surgery, and I will have gained even more. Hopefully if I can stick to the preop, I can get closer to my starting weight. [emoji53]

It is certainly not an abnormal behavior. The reality is that you will eat these items again though. I have eaten Doritos gasp! I have eaten a small bit of a brownie or a cupcake, oh no!
The difference is after surgery you are most likely going to experience less tolerance and less cravings for these items. Once you start to lose weight, you will desire them even less because your progress and non scale victories will motivate you to stay on track 90 percent of the time.
We are human though, and food tastes good. We are meant to enjoy certain things in life, and in moderation I think food can be one of those things.
I would try and stay away from that food funeral thinking. You’re going to set yourself up for having a hard time staying on track for your pre op diet. You don’t want to really gain twenty pounds before surgery anyways and I would not test the surgeon on his no gain policy with a large gain.
Set yourself up for success preop, and you can definitely lose some pounds and have a smooth transition for after your surgery.

And a FYI. followup pertaining one of the above posters.
@JohnGraySmiley. recently,became the proud and grateful mother of a beautiful baby girl Grace. Bariatric Surgery helped to make the mother healthier and this ensured an favorable childbirth outcome.

I was just sleeved by Dr. Long at Parker Hospital on 8/20 and the experience was nothing short of fabulous! The entire 6 month process was super easy, and my surgery was approved 1 week after my final class. I can't say enough amazing things about Dr. Long!
