Im a Kaiser peep, using the South Sac location. My surgery date was changed from 10/2 to 11/6 due some health issues. But Im clear to go now and just have one last dr appointment for my post op diet class. Is anyone else in November or have kaiser? I had lots of peeps on my October list but now I have a new date and would love to have some others to follow along with and share our journeys..

@@happymama2014 I just read one of your earlier posts and felt I kinda know how you feel. I too am not getting much support from my mom either. At lunch today my brother asked me what was my surgery date. After I told him mom said to him, " Just think of all the good food I will be missing out with the holidays around the corner." I wished she would be more supportive but I try to just let it go.

Ok November 3 sleevers. Looks like that's the first day of November sleevers. November 10 seems popular too. Keep us informed on your progress and what to expect and look foor. Yay November sleevers!!! Im getting excited and nervous at the same time. I'm leaving for a cruise next Saturday and im more excited about the surgery than my vacation.

So super excited! I have a surgery date 11-11-14. I can't believe how real this is. Probably going to burst with excitement before then. I am so ready, bring it on!

I'm November 11 too.

i am counting the days until 11/4. only 19 to go! and 15 to go before i have to start my 4-day liquid diet. i am starting to get a little somber in light of the seriousness of the surgery. not scared, just feeling it as more real than an abstract idea in my mind.

Me too. Nov 4th be here soon. Just left my preop visit with surgeon. Only have to do an 800 calorie diet starting Tuesday and nothing after midnight the night before. That doesn't sound too bad. So excited

4 day liquid diet???? Your lucky. I have to do that for 2 weeks. I start Tuesday.

Today has been hard to stay on the liquid diet. I'm off work and spending the day with my boyfriend, who is supportive but he's gotta eat. We have been driving around looking at rental houses because I'm planning to move in the next couple months. Drove him through the McDonald's and I got a water to mix my shake with. But I wanted food soooooo bad! Not even bad food. Just food! I would kill for a chicken breast and some green beans right now. Lol

Keep strong! You are stronger than the food! You got this!

A lot of you are lucky with only 2 weeks. I am doing 1 month. It's been exactly 2 weeks today.

I will have been on full liquids almost 3 weeks by surgery date. Then there's two weeks of liquids after. My clinic skips purée and goes straight to soft. I'm counting down the days until I can have pintos and cheese from taco bell. Lol

Day 2 of my pre op diet. Had a really bad headache last night and I'm sooo hungry today. Feels good though to be doing something, finally. It's really hitting home that surgery is so soon. Nov 2 here I come.

November 2nd on a Sunday really? Where are you? I have not seen too many with weekenders! I'm in day 1 of my pre-op diet. It's hard but it's mental so I'm going to keep pushing trying to keep my mind off food.

I was just going to say, I've never heard of a scheduled surgery on a weekend.

Me too (Nov 3 surgery date) started pre-op diet today. I just keep thinking... this pre op diet is only 14 days. 14 days! I have lived on this earth for 16,790 days. Is 14 days really that long in the bigger scheme of things? I think as the week progresses it may get harder to stay positive. I know that my nutitionist said: "don't be hungry". so maybe trying givng yours a call and see if there isn't anything of a little more substance that you can add? Good luck!
