Anyone else scheduled or possibly have surgery in November?

Today is day 1 of my 15day pre-opt and I have been easing into 5 shakes per day. Today is the day!! this is the start of my new relationship with food!!! I knew I would have to be mentally prepared, however I have never had to give myself soo many peps talks lol when I start to get cravings I remind myself why I am doing this and what and who is important!!!

I have six children that need a healthy mom!! I want to be able to do things with them instead of not being able to walk long distances or afraid of embarrassing them. I want to live long enough to see them grow up to be adults and have careers and families I've tried many diets and have been in a heck of a roller coaster ride.. I am confident this tool will be what I need to be successful and get my life back.

Best wishes to everyone on my same journey and thank you for the support reading so many similar stories and knowing you are not alone is also great motivation!!!

My surgery is scheduled for November 7. I'm on day 3 of my 21 day liquid diet....I just want some solid food :-\

Good luck! starting my pre-op on Oct 31st!!

I just got my approval for my surgery yesturday for November. My birthday is the 5th so maybe a good birthday present!

Good luck! starting my pre-op on Oct 31st!!

Thanks! Good luck on your pre op and surgery! It is tough the first few days into the liquid diet but I keep reminding myself it will definitely be worth it!

Well, this is my first post here although I have been a member on line for more than a year. November 8th is my surgery date. I went to my first meeting more than 18 months ago. It's taken me that long to get my head in the right place. I have gotten a lot of great information both here and on you tube. I have also attended the monthly support meetings even though I have no yet had the surgery. Just would like to say thanks to all who post. I'm looking forward to getting this surgery over. My best to all. Ed

That's the day of my bday and I'm scheduled for surgery the 18th start preop diet Monday.

Day 3 of my pre op and down 9lbs already.

I started my liquid (full liquid) on Monday, the 28th, also. I weighed yesterday, and I was down 8 lbs. Of course, it is mostly water at first. The body releasing extra water. I have a naturopath tell me one time that I was not fat (I weighed about 215), but that I was carrying around all extra water. Who knows. I'm just glad to see the scale going down.

I weighed and measured yesterday. I'm trying to stay off the scale until next Monday when I start clear liquids. Then on Nov 11th, SURGERY DAY! I will measure and weigh again. Measurements can mean a lot more than the scale when a stall happens.
