Surgery scheduled for Nov. 22nd! Steps and timeline that it took for me to get here...



Recommended Posts

My surgery is also November 22. Just wondering how all of you are doing? Any nerves? I am unusually calm, though I'm sure I will be a ball of nerves the day of.

Clear liquids only afternoon tomorrow, that's going to be rough. Probably should go to be early!

I am nervous, I try not to think about to much to keep calm & not over think everything that's abt to happen..I'm going for my final weigh in tomorrow morning. I'm praying, letting go & let God! I wish us all blessings & fast healing!

My day is the 22nd also! It is finally here There are days I wondered if it would ever here. My Dr. had me on 2 Protein shakes and a small meal (3 oz meat and sm serving low carb veggies) for last two weeks. Today I am restricted to clear liquids only. Glad I didn't have 2 weeks of clear liquids! Today is also bowel cleanse. Joy!

Wishing you all the very best! Will lift you up in prayer. I am excited to have this opportunity to have this surgery, gaining a tool to once and for all reduce my weight to a healthy level, be active and live a full life. And yes, I'm nervous too. food, has been my "go to " activity when I have been stressed, sad, tired, etc. I have done well over the past 5 months. With this tool, I plan to permanently alter my coping mechanisms to meet my real needs, not just stuff them down with food.< /p>

Just being honest. Praying for health and happiness for each of you!

How's everyone? I'm waiting on a prescription and then will be in my own bed. Agony.

I'm doing ok, pain meds are working but make me itchy. Rumbling in the tummy and very sore but manageable. I've had some unexpected crying, sometimes for no reason.

Overall it's not too bad but then again this is only my first day at home. How about you?

I'm good other than having a cough. It feels like my insides are going to explode out whenever I do. Pain meds really aren't working much, which sucks, but that's how my body is.

I, um, fell out of my chair because I was sitting too far forward. Don't do this. Getting up off the floor was ridiculous.

ISalithe, I hope you were not hurt. It did make me giggle though because that sounds like something I would do, especially on pain meds!

I had a giggle too once I knew I was okay. I was extra sore for a couple hours, but everything seems good now. Falling is super scary now, even that tiny distance.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
