I have been going through all the requirements for months and last week I got the okay from my insurance company and received a surgery date from my surgeon. So many emotions and feelings. Excited' date=' anxious, frightened, happy, sad and all while being confident in my decision. Im not afraid of the discomfort or hard work ahead, but terrified of the worst case scenario's they keep telling me. Im a mother of two small children (2 and 4) and am so worried. I know everyone feels this way, but I don't want to back out from fear. Anyone else feeling like that or having surgery in July like me??? Would love to have some peeps to talk with along the way....[/quote']

My date is July 10. Plus son's wedding is July 1. Glad I can have one meal a day according to my nutritionist!

I have a date also 7/10 and today is my first day of nothing but skim milk for 2 weeks!!!!! I did have some non fat yogurt in the morning as I do Water aerobics 5days a week and don't want to get weak during workout. Have you started your pre op diet? What do you get to have? Start of our weight loss and healthier numbers. Katie

Lol u lucky dog... u get milk!!!! I love milk... but my surgeon calls it my sugar.. my addiction... even though I only drink skim milk he said its still "drinking my calories" therefore a no-no lol. My surgery is july 17 and my surgeon is more strict than any I've read so far... preop is only lowfat, sugar free Clear liquids... so basically Water, sugarfree Jello, and bariatric broth. Ughhhhh.. I want this so bad so I will do it but its not going to be easy!!!

Your sounds like the one I've been following all month. Had a few small bobbles, but it's all good. I did the two Protein shakes , two sugar free Snacks and a low fat now carb supper every night. Guess I'll find out how I did tomorrow. Good luck to you.

Nervous about surgery? Of course. But, when I think about there being a definitive end to the misery of my whole adult life, and pain free, I'm psyched. Any diet I've ever started has been an "if I succeed", but for the first time ever, this is a "when I succeed".

I like that "Not If I Succeed but WHEN I Succeed"! Great motto!

I'm so excited! Good luck to all of us!

I have two little ones as well and I want to and need to be here in their lives, I'm just so ready for the surgery part to be over with and be all healed up! The hospital called me today to ask their questions and asked me if I had a living will...I know thats a question they have to ask but ugh, I am just so very nervous guys. Sometimes i feel fine but then most of the time i just freak out. I haven't been sleeping well and im just so ready for this to be over with and me looking back on this like "you made the right decision look how great you look now!"

My surgery date is July 25 and I'm so excited !!! One thing freaking me out is coming up my part of the money that the insurance don't pay. Its very hard when you are a single mom of 2 kids on fixed income with no extra funds to work with. Does anybody have any suggestions how I can get help?
