Hi! I just started my journey and I am looking forward to chatting with those of you who are on a similar time-frame as myself. My insurance is Cigna so they require a 3 month supervised diet, psych eval and sign off from my primary (which I am worried about, I haven't seen him in 5 years so what if he wont sign off? should I find someone new? suggestions?)

I am aiming for an early September surgery date, my Dr. said it is doable! I am excited and nervous.

I have learned so much already from reading about everyone else's experience it has really helped to calm me down.

I feel like I am obsessed with this and it's all I can think about. I have probably watched 200 youtube videos so far. LOL

Any tips, tricks or advice is welcome and appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Preop diet day 1 complete, 13 more days. It was ok, but I'm hoping it gets easier...

Stay busy Sleevemetoo15 and drinks lots of water or Crystal Light (no t.v. as it has too many food commercials unless you are watching movies)!!

This is my 3rd full day after surgery. I am so ready for food. Something soft, oatmeal, grits, something. Tomorrow I start my liquid diet with Soups.

Are you having any pain?

I got my surgery date! 9/21/15!!! So excited I'm one week into the pre-op diet, and I have a pre-op appointment at the hospital on Monday. Got all my foods and vitamins today, except the sugar-free jello. Forgot that. But am finally getting this done, it's going to happen!!

going into day 4.... preop appointment is Monday and I'm excited. Its finally about to happen. I'm ready. The days have gotten better.

In preparation for my Sep 22 sleeve surgery, I am on the Liquid Protein diet and drinking at least 90 grams of protein a day, drinking an additional 64 oz of Water a day and including some broth to keep my salt levels ok and taking Bariatric fusion Vitamins a day but feel very weak. I am very fair in complexion but even for me I am extremely pale looking today. Any thoughts on how to feel less weak and looking (and feeling) less like a ghost?
