Hi. I also have a September birthday AND am getting the sleeve on the 13th. I start my diet on September 3rd. I am also nervous and excited all at the same time. I found this app towards the end of July. I like FB better. But this is cool too. Best of luck!

Thanks marrse! When is your birthday? I'm guessing no cake for us???????? My surgeon requires at least 12days with Protein shakes, Jello , juices broth. Etc. to shrink liver. It's gonna be trying but have a good chance to lose a few lbs for head start!

I'm suppose to have a date for September but the lady that handles the insurance part just has my file sitting on her desk while she takes a vacation! Why couldn't she do it before hand it wasn't like she didn't have it for two weeks already! I want to cry, I know impatient but the suspense is killing me.

Someone else should be able to do it in the office, some Dr visits need to be redone if not within 30days of surgery. I found that once I persisted, stuff got done! Good Luck Wchild22!

@ I'm also scheduled for that day. Interestingly, my doctor has not prescribed a liquid diet at all but, in order to kind of clear out my head and prepare myself for the liquid stage post-op, I'm putting myself on a sorta liquid diet for a couple of weeks. Just to prove to myself that I can do it.

Good luck with surgery and congratulations.

Hi @ShrinkingKritta..I think it all depends on the surgeon and each individual. My BMI is at 37.9 right now, so although it's difficult to do liquid diet, it will shrink liver and prepare me for what's to come???????? Good luck to you too!

Hi everyone,

I received my insurance approval this past Monday and am scheduled for surgery on September 19th. I am so ready to just get it done. I've been doing the one shake a day and low carb diet since March. Freaking insurance required 6 NUT visits....grrrr. I have a pretty low BMI so it was hard not losing too much while not gaining anything either. But finally I'm all done. I have my consult with my surgical team on August 30th so I'll find out more details about the surgery and what to expect on that date. I'm not going to have to do the liquid pre-op diet either. I have to maintain my once daily shake and low carb meals until two days before surgery. Then I switch to Clear liquids for one day. Next, one day before surgery, I'm supposed to take a mild laxative and have Water only until midnight. After midnight nothing...eep! I can't wait!!!

I got some good news today, my surgery date has been moved up to September 9th, a Friday, I started my pre-op diet already just to ensure my liver will be ok. My issue has been giving up smoking, been very very hard but I'm doing it. Also it's hard at work when my co-workers order out. I'm so excited though!!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
