Any december surgies out there???

Good luck Andrew.

Good luck Bobby, I'll be thinking about and hope everything goes good.

Hey Andrew, hope you are feeling better. And you'll reschedule your surgery date. Goodluck! Will be praying for you

I totally agree with you. My surgery is less than 24 hours away. And allowing myself to be totally under anesthetic . . . I've never liked that lack of control, or the loss of memory of that time. I know the anesthetic is for the best. I know this surgery is for the best. I need it to help reduce my need for medications. But before that, I need it so I won't have the problems that require those medications. So, for now I'm just focusing on the plan: clear liquids only today, staying busy, completing the daily projects I have to do today, etc. I'm trying to let tomorrow happen as it should. I don't know if that helps you or not. I hope it does. But it's all I can do.

Hope all went well today!!

To all of those who have had their surgeries and those who are yet to have them. I wish you all well and a happy and good healthy new year. No more dieting but life changes foe the best

Sending positive thoughts your way!

I'm new here and have been going through this process since February of this year. After years of battling numerous health issue, including Diabetes, Hypertension, Severe Asthma among others...my primary Dr had begun talking to me about surgical options. After a lot of thought and consideration I made the decision in May to proceed with a Roux en Y procedure. The insurance company had extensive requirements and after 6 months of their programs, I received my approval 2 weeks ago!!!! My surgery is setup for December 26th (Merry Christmas) and the surgeon is requiring a 3 week liquid diet. I am 1 week into the liquid diet and I feel HORRIBLE! My daily intake consists of a protein shake for breakfast, a sugar free greek yogurt for snack, a cup of soup for lunch, a sugar free pudding for afternoon snack and a bowl of cream of wheat for dinner==800 calories/day. I have 2 weeks of this to go yet...does it get easier? Does the body adjust? I have lost 11 pounds in the last 6 days which is exciting...but hard earned. I know I can do this...but does it get easier?
