hey, my date is now scheduled for September 11 I'm starting my full liquid diet in the a.m because I didn't know it was suppose to be today I just got home from the doctor and i gained weight since starting this process I am a little disappointed about that, and nervous the doctor said I would be fine I am excited my husband is against the surgery but supportive I only have one more problem I don't have 2 weeks of sick time so its a possibility that my job denies my time off request then I would have to postpone surgery but we will see keep me encouraged I have so many questions. thank you all.

I am surprised so many people are on liquid diets for so long preop mine made me buy there products but I'm very thankful it's food just restricted to 800-900 cal a day till surgery

Ask your job about FMLA (family medical leave act) that might work and if you dont tell your job the specific reason for surgery your doctor can give you medical needy papers for work

Check on FMLA and does your employer not offer short term as part of your insurance...when I read post like this is makes me think how thankfuIl i am for my insurance. I dont have to use any vacation or sick time, I get short term pay which is about 70% of my regular pay and it starts on day one. I gained about 3 pound since my 1st visit Im worried he will say something I go in for my nut pre op meeting on Wednesday and my Dr pre op on Friday Im only have to do a 2 day liquid but have already started just to get a jump start...best of luck to uou and hopefully no more delays

I just got my date' date=' September 23![/quote']

I am the same date! Good luck.

I am Sept 23 as well! Had my last pre op appt today. When the nurse weighed me she said "this is the last time you will weigh this much". Wow, I can hardly imagine.

I start 2 week liquids on Monday - I get 3 oz of Lean protein twice in the two weeks and all the non starchy veg I want. I am going to make a pot of WW 0 point veg soup and eat that in addition to my protein shakes. It tastes really good and is filling.

That is such a great thought. I love the thought of never seeing my number again. My diet is 3 wks and it is 4 protein shakes and clear liquids or 2 shakes and a lean chicken or turkey with greens. It is suppose to be 1000-1200. Staying around 1000 and I am hungry!

I'm Sept 23rd in Dallas. Going for my pre-admission testing tomorrow.

Who's your doctor in Dallas?

I'm scheduled for Sept 18th .. I'm on my second full day of the pre op diet.. I want food!! Lol

Who's your doctor in Dallas?

Dr. Joseph Kuhn. Having my surgery at Baylor Dallas.
