I know there are several on this post who said they're surgery is early May, one person said surgery is 4/29 but I can't find it now. Can we please all post our dates again? I want to hear others experiences and also share my own. My surgery is 5/3/18.

I'm 2nd May (8 days to go woohoo!!). As are at least 3 others I've seen posting on these forums, however I'm in Australia so will be a half day ahead of my us buddies. Il try to make a posting ASAP after surgery if I'm up for it.

I'm annoyed that my period was due by yesterday but hasn't started yet as I get really heavy periods with nasty cramping and headaches so I really don't want that hitting while in hospital for 4-5 days. I'm guessing the VLCD has thrown it out of whack maybe?

I'm otherwise doing fine. The high protein VLCD seems to be agreeing with my system as I'm really not feeling hungry before meal times despite only having 600-700 calories a day. As I said in another post, it would seem my body is happy cannibalising itself!

I have to sit down with hubby in the next few days and draw up a detailed schedule for him to keep things running while I'm in hospital (school routines for the kids, dinner plans, managing the Guinea pigs etc)

Did you check over on The April postings to see if your missing poster is there_ Being as they're on the end of the,month, they could,be on either one.?

My surgery is scheduled for 5/4!!! So we are only one day apart!! : )

May 9 for me! Here's my stats:
Food funerals: pizza, popcorn, and diet coke.
HW: 268 (5'4")
CW: 264 Hey, if I could lose weight on my own I wouldn't need surgery.
GW: 160, mini goals on the way down 199 and the weight listed on my drivers license. I have lied about it so long I actually don't know what it says.
Like like the Unjury protein, mixes well with no chalky aftertaste. Unflavored whey does NOT mix well in soup, but thier pea protein is great in soup. Also getting all of my vitamins though them bc they are complete and it is the easiest way to do it.
Good luck All! We can do it!

Hey! Our height and weight is practically the same! My surgery is the 2nd, if you want to be buds!

Congratulations! My surgery is 5/23. It's exciting and nerve wracking all in 1 but I'm getting more excited now. Yay May surgery buddy :-)

Mines in the 25th super anxious !!!

Might as well have your period close to surgery as the pain meds will mask period discomfort.

Pain meds would be good, but dealing with all the heavy bleeding and the loo trips while trying not to hurt my incision points would suck.

That makes sense about coffee afterwards. I keep thinking about everything I'll miss like coffee and wine but I hope it will be different after surgery and I won't really notice it with stomach changes. I'm glad I can have coffee preop or I would find it hard to cope in morning with fighting kids, temper tantrums and moody cranky hubby.[emoji33]

I’m with you about coffee and wine! Makes me feel like an alcoholic that it’s so hard for me to give up. Don’t have more than two glasses ever, but I used to have one a night after the boys went to bed. So it comes down to be fat and keep getting fatter or give up wine....I choose give up wine.

I've definitely had some food funerals.

Food funerals! I’m dying ? this is exactly what I’ve been doing. I’m up five pounds and start my liquids on the 30th for a May 14 surgery.

I’m ready though! Ready to be healthy and not in pain all the time!

True! But you know the folks at the hospital will make it work period or not.

So glad things worked out hopeful!
This liquid diet has been tough and it's only day 3 of 14. Doesn't help that I've gotten the flu. I'm still so grateful for the opportunity.
Also, these waters are AMAZING when you need a break from protein shakes.

Where did you get that? I’ve been looking can’t find them anywhere
