My surgery date was 1/29/14. My surgery was cancelled due to the weather. This is the second time. The first time my surgeon could not continue with my surgery bc he found a tumor on my liver. So I had to go through a lot if test. It is benign. So now I am playing the waiting game. My surgeon office is still closed and I still have to drink this awful protein shake no food just 3 shakes and plain water. Ugh! Oh well things happen. Can't get upset about The Lord's work. I am just venting and anxious.

Great news that that the tumor is benign!!! How long have you been on the diet? You are a trooper! If you made it through this you can do anything! Keep that in mind. Stay positive. How long have you been on pre op diet now? How much have you lost? Good news is the more weight you lose pre op the less likely you will have any complications and you will reach your goal sooner! Hang in there.

Hi ! Tuwood I know you are disappointed in all of the delays in waiting for your surgery. Don't give up stay on track with your program, everything happens for a reason. It will happen for you. You are loosing wt while you wait on the surgery, keep drinking those shakes and water I know it gets old but it's worth it, this is the best thing you have ever done for your self. God Bless

Thanks. I have been on my diet going in 3weeks.

that is painfully long. Are you able to eat anything? Where do you live? I am in Buffalo, NY and the weather has been miserable here too!!!

Thanks and yes the shakes are getting old. I got bored mixing different fruit. I am limited of what I can put in the shake. Thanks again and God Bless you too :-)

I can't have everything to eat. I live in Montgomery, AL. The south is not use to weather like this.

So still no date. I am frustrated and now I am wondering is it worth it. These is my third time waiting for a date. First time my surgery was stopped bc is have a growth on my liver. The second time we had a winter storm. I know things happen and you can't control God's work. I am human, I have emotions and I am frustrated. Maybe I shouldn't get excited or anxious. I am really at the point if saying screw it. I know these things happen I make my wonder is these a sign not to do it. Just venting out my frustration.

You are not alone. I am having some major insurance issues and my surgery date of 1/22 had to be postponed indefinitely due to authorization problems. I am now nearing the end of 4 weeks on the preop diet. My surgeon wants me to stay on it until my surgery date and yes the weight is coming off, but it's really getting tedious. After much begging she allowed me to have green veggies, egg whites and greek yogurt as well as the shakes and sugar free stuff. But this is really wearing on me.

The funny part is that we had a major snowstorm here the day before I was supposed to have the surgery and we wouldn't have been able to dig out of our driveway in time. So maybe that was for the best.

In my religion we are taught that if something doesn't work out at the time you wanted God may indeed have some betterment in causing a delay. Right now I am really angry with my insurance company and I just keep telling myself that God must have a reason for holding things up, LOL. It's something that I can't see or understand right now but there must be a reason.

Please don't let this delay ruin your resolve to have this lifesaving surgery. God brought you this far, He's not going to let you down. I wish you all the best.

Thanks :-). We had a winter storm here and the roads was awful. So it was for the best. I too believe that God is doing this for a reason. Maybe to teach me about patience, I really don't know. I was suppose to be on this diet for 2 weeks this is my 3 week. Yesterday I was told to stay on the diet and I can return to work Monday. I was down but I prayed about it. I brought some sugar free Popsicles and torani suger free syrups ( I put that in my protein shakes so it tasted a whole lot better) Thanks again for the word of encouragement
