I'm bipolar as well so I worry about my emotions too. I also worry about how I'll handle my 5 day Clear liquids only pre op diet without hurting anyone lol. I'm approved and scheduled for 10/3. Pre op appt is sep 16.

I'm scheduled for October 3rd too. Just had my psych eval today so auth should be completed soon.

Did you have to submit a food journal?

Hi I am scheduled for 10/7/2013 as well! I will be having mines in Memphis' date=' Tn. I have everything complete to go except Class 2 of my nutrition class. I was able to pick my date in which I could have it much sooner but this works out for me since my son will be on fall break and its the biggest of my worry to make sure he is taken care of and my husband is also off that day. I will start stocking up on my Protein shakes and bars next month and get my foods for my 2 week liver shrink diet together. I am very excited I have had this weight on me for 7 yrs so its time to go![/quote']

We will have to share our experiences with each other and see how or if they differ. I too have to stock up in shakes and figure out what I like. I bought a few yesterday and need to order some sampler packs. We don't have much time do we?! I'm very excited about serving this fat it's eviction notice too!

I had no clue I could go elsewhere and do this without jumping through insurance hoops otherwise I would have done it a long time ago.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
