Started my 2 wk pre-op liquid diet today. I've had 500 calories today and a total of 112oz of liquid. Oi! I'm doing OK so far hunger -wise but this peeing every hour is for the birds! I even had to leave in the middle of a conference call at work today.... so embarrassing. LOL

July 7th for me! I'm going on vacation for July 4th so I am going to thoroughly enjoy myself ! I am getting more excited but nervous about recovery. I am praying everyone's surgery and recovery goes smoothly!

Do you not have to do a pre-op diet?

I don't have to do a pre-op diet ???? just no food or drinks after midnight the day before my surgery.

July 23rd for me. I am in the UK, so will be interesting to see how we all differ with follow ups.

I just got my official letter in the post today (with the bill :( which is the nasty bit), so it is feeling like its just around the corner. 5 weeks to day and counting!

I am getting so big I am afraid to weigh myself. Maybe I just won't until my presurgery diet starts.

I am feeling the same way. The stress of not knowing is killing me. But I found out today that I am approved!!! Just waiting for the coordinator to call me. I even told her I needed to know because today was the last day to put our work schedule in and she still didn't call me back! I called the insurance company and they told me I was approved! Hopefully I will get July 6!

Date was changed to July 7th .. Only 1 day out but this waiting sucks.. Wish it was tomorrow

I know how you feel. While I was in the options classes and when I was done and just waiting for a call from the surgeon's office, I felt like my time would never come. You have a date, that's exciting! :)

Salt lake city Utah. :)

On day 3 of 2wk preop diet. Yesterday's Migraine was horrible! Today's headache is a lot less painful. I really haven't been too crazy hungry... but I have my sons birthday cake to make & a big family dinner on Sunday to make it through & I'm very worried. When I was at my preop doc appt yesterday I spoke with the PA who said I could have 1 light string cheese to help my headache and hunger as long as I didn't go over 600 calories total after having my 3 shakes & Clear liquids. That string cheese has been the highlights of my day yesterday & today...LOL. I'm also doing the Premier Protein shakes as well as Muscle Milk. I've lost 4lbs in 3 days.

I live in northern Saskatchewan, I am a teacher here. I'll be heading home to Ontario next weekend and then flying down to Texas on the 3rd.

My pre-op diet is 3 Protein shakes per day (I'm using some left over medifast shakes that I have), any G2 gatorade I want, crystal light, sugar free Jello, chicken or beef broth, lots and lots of Water, and 4 oz of chicken, tuna, or canned ham for supper. I start on Sunday! I'm excited!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
