Hey Guys & Gals [emoji1480]

I just finished my last Nutritionist appointment today and I am totally psyched,nervous and a little .. well a lot anxious. I wanted to create this thread to open discussion and new friendship, I have 15 days for my insurance approval and I'm crossing my fingers. My surgery date is August 7th, I'D LOVE to have a sleeve buddy ! I'm an open book !

Awesome, thanks so much and ahh how'd you do two weeks I'd die for something to chew !

Mine liquids before is only I week so I will be able to handle it. Ice chips work great to have something to chew.

I had my appointment with Dr Yesterday

My Surgery is also Aug 7th

My EDG July 20th

My Liquid Diet starts July 24, very nervous

Congrats to you This week I just want to go out and eat Everything I will not be able to eat again but I know I should not [emoji22]

I'm feeling on the fence these last couple of days...it was such a let down to get pushed back 2 weeks...I feel a little like to just cancel...[emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]

Whaaat they pushed it back ? Ugh, I would be so disappointed but keep your chin up! You didn't come all this way for nothing !

I completed all but one of my insurance carrier requirements and all of my surgeon requirements on the 12th. The only thing I have left is to get my psych evaluation results on the 19th. I'm told that it takes up to two weeks to get carrier approval, and once I get the OK it's another two weeks to get my surgery scheduled. Looking at August from the sounds of it [emoji3]

I'm cash paying because of a low bmi, so I have found my surgeon and I am definitely getting sleeved in August. I had my consult, blood work, 1/2 dietician class, and my psych eval and EKG medical clearance is this Wed. Afterwards, one more visit with dietician and Dr and I'm on the books! Excited, scared, moody, all of what you guys have stated but I'm not backing out. This is a life change I must make for my health and for me.

Hello, My last Nutritionist appointment is scheduled for August 1, 2017

WOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My surgery just got changed to August 1st. Now I have to hurry and get my college work and exams done before then............this will allow me 2 1/2 weeks before I begin my last semester of college............I may even get more than a Popsicle for my birthday on the 29. Less time to research and cruise on this site but......so happy I will get a little re-coup time. I'll check in tonight for some more reading! Back to school work. I'm a almost 54 year old starting a new career. I worked in food all my life and owned my own place for over 23 years. My life revolved around food...............this is definately going to be a journey but, one I'm looking forward to.

I'm also scheduled for August 1st! Unfortunately though, my birthday is the 19th, so I will only just be allowed to eat mushy foods. Not much of a bday celebration, but I excited for the weight to come off!

You are definitely going to be put through a tough test. I have a Bday Aug 4, and am trying to be good before my 2 week pre-op starts,,,haven't scheduled mine yet but very close. GOOD LUCK!

Scheduled Aug 4, starting preop diet tomorrow....I'm getting nervous! [emoji51]

Thanks Dizzy, Newbie, and all. I'm really excited. Just got home from my last Dr. Visit, and paying hospital and anesthesia (self-pay). I think I'll be ok with the phasing of food. I'm just happy it will be a month before my birthday. I don't want to be feeling bad in front of company.....we always celebrate birthdays. Plus, college starts back the 17th, so I will have 2 weeks to recoup if I have a rough start. I can't wait to see how we all do. I'm really looking forward to getting off a lot of meds and getting some energy after a bit. I do know I will probably feel wiped out for a month or two but..........that shall pass.

August 2nd is my surgery date - getting so excited for the changes to come! Best of luck to all
