I start my Pre op diet today. I am neverous about the surgery but excited and happy at the same time. I have my own business so the main thing I am worried about is recovery time.

Hello everyone I am new to the site. My surgery date is July 31 and I have 200+ to lose.

Hey Repo! We have the same date!! Only 2 weeks to go! How are you feeling? My mind can't make itself up. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Good luck with your journey! ;)

I am from Vermont, but am having my surgery in upstate NY. There is a lake across from the hospital with the beautiful Adirondack mountains in the background, it is very soothing. I started my liquid diet yesterday, I was only required to do 9 days but wanted to make sure I had a handle on it by the time I needed to start. I don't mind it too much, I did a Liquid Protein diet 13 years ago...if only the weight would stay off after you loose it. I am very excited to get the sleeve done. Best of luck on your journey!

Congrats on getting your date! I just started the process and have to do the 6 month medically supervised weight loss before the insurance will approve it. Surgery seems like a long way off, but I know the time will go by fast.

Hi Ayrika! I have the same feelings...mostly excitement, but then some times get a bit nervous. I had a similar surgery a year ago in the abdomen area, so I am anticipating the same recovery(hopefully!). Best of luck and I will be thinking of you.

Yes praldous, I am having Dr. Hill. It has been a long journey for me. I went to the initial meeting March 2008, had all the test and about to send to insurance and I lost my job and insurance. Last June when I had insurance, I recompleted the tests and they were subitting to insurance. On July 11th I was diagnosed with stage 3b colon cancer...so now I have had the colon resection (at AMC) and 6 months of treatment followed by a 3 month wait for my CT scan...it was clear! They were excellent about only having me repeat a couple of necessary tests and I was approved right away by my insurance. I will be meeting Dr.Hill next week for the first time since 4 years ago...I can't wait. Everyone that ever has him for a doctor does nothing but sing his praises. How are you doing since surgery?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
