My surgery is June 3rd. I'll start the liq diet on may 20th. It won't hurt for u to start doing shakes for lunch. Let me know how your doing.

I go see Dr King in June for the initial consult and scope. I've been keeping touch with Angie since Feb. :-). I will be done with my 6 month diet the first of July. I have already had my psych evaluation. And because of my high BMI I had to get clearance from a cardiologist and pulmonologist. That's done as well. From what I've been told, my insurance responds fairly quickly, so I'm hoping to happens before the end of August. I can not wait to get this over with!

I meant to add that I have started protein shakes for lunch as well. I did this to help lose as much as possible beforehand first visit with him. Then in June I will be replacing breakfast and lunch just to try and make the preop diet a little easier. I've been having to many food funerals, but I have taken control back and am making better choices. My hubs is taking me out for Mother's Day/birthday dinner, and I will eat whatever I want that night, but that is it. I know this is a lifestyle change and I want to start now.

Good luck!

That sounds great. I am going to start the shakes Monday I believe.
