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.

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
