I've seen topics where members having surgery in the same month have kinda banded together to offer support and encouragement to one another. I think this is a wonderful idea, and I'd like to see if there's anyone having surgery in March that would like to support one another.

I have a tentative date for the second or third week in March. I have UHC through Georgia Pacific and they use BRS for approvals. I don't expect any delays, nor does my surgeon's office, so she saved me a spot, so to speak, lol.

Tonight I have my psyc eval, and Monday is my information class, I have two more visits, 2/5 and 3/5 of my six month supervised diet, and on March 5th when I leave my PCP's office, I'll take my worksheet to the surgeon and we'll submit to insurance. That's where I'm at!

I'd love to talk with others that are looking at the same time frame as me!!

Congrats on the weight loss, I am jealous LOL!!! I will ask my doctor about the chewables, he recommended the gummies but I'd hate it if they make me throw up... I can't wait for my surgery dateeeeeeee, 3/11 please come soon!!

Starting to get excited--crazy to be excited about surgery. Ready to get things going. Looking through all my stuff and getting ready to get vitamins, broth , protein powder, jello and pudding in. Know things will be rough for awhile but I can do this. Trying to get things done around the house that I have been procrastinating on--making progress there.

You will do great!!!

I have also been stocking up on sugar free foods and clear broths and the Vitamins I have to take now and after surgery. I'm taking Bariatric fusion Vitamin chewables. They have all the requirement for post bypass people and I have to take 4 a day instead of multiple different vitamins. I also heard the same thing about gummies from my DR but my chewable vitamins are actually really good. So overall' date=' I'm already....I've got all the stuff for my liquid diet and probably the first 2 weeks after surgery. Now I'm just re-reading my goals to make sure I have everything completed before my pre op date. Excited <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> come on march 6th!!! P.s. down 22 lbs since my first visit jan 10th <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

I'm a coupon queen so I've been stocking up for a few weeks on broth, G2, Atkins shakes, vitamins and supplements and other shelf stable stuff I will need. I don't want to put too much away until after my nut class so I have more specifics. When I first got my date 10 weeks out it seemed like forever ! Now, as of Thursday, I'm 5 weeks out!! It's coming so fast!! So much still to do!!

Where did u get the coupons for those items I been looking with no luck please share .

March 4th is my surgery date. Have my pre-op appointment with my dietician on Friday and start my 2 week pre-op di

I bought an amazing gadget that turns zucchini into round spaghettilike strands and other veggies can be made into flat noodle shapes. I stir it around in a non-stick pan with a little salt and leave it al dente and it is delicious. I like it better than regular pasta and it is extremely low cal and NO carbs!!!

I got it on Amazon at this site ~http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_16?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=vegetable+noodle+maker&sprefix=vegetable+noodle%2Caps%2C281

Here is what it looks like in the pan ~
