Oh I’m feeling all those things. I started my preop diet today which is liquids and I’m finding out Protein Shakes are hard for me which makes me nervous. I’ve got to find one I like so far I haven’t really liked any I have tried. 10 days!! It’s getting so close!

@Momofthree627 Have u tried Quest? The vanilla takes really good like a milk shake!!

Wow @november11 my diet consists of all liquids.. Protein Shakes, broth, and sugar free Jello, popsicles.. and of course water.. it also allows diet snapple and crystal light but no real food 😩.. ur so lucky 😂😂

@Momofthree627 thts good tht you only have to do a week!!

@november11 so far so good as well but it is still early 😩😂😂..

Hey November fam! My pre-op appointment is on the 28th, so I’ll find out the details of my pre-op diet then. Until then I’m on the “Tour de Fat” — enjoying things I won’t be able to for a long time. 😂

Also, today marks 3 weeks since I quit smoking. Terrible habit, I know. But complications can occur with surgery if you smoke, so there you go. My husband quit with me in solidarity, which is nice. Anyone else in the group a quitter?

Also, how are your SOs/loved ones supporting you in this journey?

@MeredithElaine im on a “Tour De Fat” as well my pre-op diet starts Monday 10/28 and i feel like i have to have all my favorites this week including a few Margaritas 😩😂 but im not going to kill it to bad 😂😂

Yesss so slow.. i was telling someone earlier that I was flying thru all my appointments when i was still unsure but now that im scheduled and ready its taking forever and i feel so anxious.. im just ready to be through the hard part Lol

Hi Everyone!! Is it just me or does it seem like time is moving so slow now... before it was flying and now its like a snails pace.. im still scared, nervous and excited.. but i guess now im jus anxious to get to the other side 🤦🏾‍♀️😩

@november11 definitely keep me posted I hope everything works out in your favor!!!

@november11 I was approved already, they gave me my date after approval 🙌🏾.. I dont knw what my pre-op diet is but I am scheduled for Pre Admission Testing on 10/29 so i guess they will tell me then.. they paper work they emailed me didnt say when to start!

@Mikeyy thank you

@november11 yaayyyy!!! Im all done with everything they wanted me to check off all the boxes before they submitted it to my insurance.. i think im nervous, anxious, scared, and excited at the same time 😩😂😂 and im the same im on here alll the time LoL will definitely keep in touch

I was scheduled today for 11/11!!!

Hi!! So I got the call today that I have been approved for surgery and my official date is November 11th..

I am soooo nervous now as well as excited that its really happening, but my fear of the unknown has me scared!!

I love getting on here and reading you guys stories and testimonies they definitely make me feel like im making the right choice! Thank u!!☺️

Hi!! Im 40 from Philadelphia and im getting the Sleeve and currently waiting on insurance approval so that I can get a date ☺️

Hi I sae this thread and thought id jump in.. the weirdest thing im looking fwd to is riding a roller coaster I havent been to the amusement park since 2004 and I cant wait im planning a big trip for next Summer to Six flags... Cant wait!!!

Heyy @claire5 im also waiting on a date, I have 1 last thing to do before I can start the scheduling process and thts my Psych Eval next Monday.. Apparently I was scheduled for tht in May (started the journey in March) but they didnt put it on my paperwork so I missed it and 9/30 was the earliest I could get. They told me they will call me the next day to start the process.. you are definitely not alone in the nerves dept 😂😂

Thank You!! 🥰🥰

Hi!! Im new here 🤗 (but have been lurking for months 😂😂) I started my journey for WLS in March of this year, Im looking to have VSG, my insurance has a 6 month period before approval..

Ive also struggled with weight all my life.. Ive been working out with a Personal Trainer since 2012 and I will admit tht my dedication has been more geared towards the workout vs. diet. I have tried Atkins lost 50 lbs and gained it back plus some, Keto, diet pills, calorie counting.. and still have yet to break 300 lbs (except for whn i did atkins).. I am so happy to have found this App because I love to hear the success stories as well as the bad stories (evn tho they scare me 😳).. I have 1 thing left to check off and then I guess ill be waiting for the approval from my insurance and thn on to surgery... On one hand im like no dont do and thn the other im like you have done all of the test and been to so many appts just do it lol.. Hopefully ill b on the Losers Bench soon!!
