Awesome!!! It's really starting to feel real, isn't it?

I just got a call yesterday to schedule my pre-admission testing for 12/13. The hospital also has a new requirement that every patient has to be seen by a cardiologist and pulmonary doctor, so just made those appointments too. So all these appointments are keeping me quite busy!! Can't believe it's less than 2 weeks away!!!

I’m freaking out a little. Surgery 12/9 and my husband has the flu. I got the flu shot, but that’s no guarantee. I’ve been wearing a mask when I bring him Soup and medicine, but I’m so stressed, I really want a cheeseburger! I hate that he feels bad, but I do not want to have to get delayed, or start over n the liquid diet. Gotta get him well, and keep myself well!

Hang in there!! Good idea on the mask! Fingers crossed for you to stay healthy!!

Super anxious my surgery is on December 10 and my PCP office messed up my clearance to fax to the hospital NYU who will doing the VSG. I’m sitting in the office right now. super anxious but very surprised my blood pressure was good lol. I can’t to another two weeks of liquid diet. Plus my family arrange time off to help with my daughter and me. Ugh so nervous if it gets postponed to January. Please cross your fingers that I get everthing done. Speedy recovery for the one that got surgery recently or will be having it soon.

I was so excited before now I’m getting cold feet hahaha I’m more worried about the aftermath of surgery

I have pre op on the 11th. I really have no idea what is going beside that I’ll be there all day and see internal med and my bari doctor.

11 days to go! ?

I think it's only natural to be a little nervous! The biggest thing I'm nervous about is taking off my rings before surgery. I can't get them off!! Hoping the pre-op diet will help me lose just enough weight to make my fingers skinny! LOL!!

So when you say, shakes what kind are they like are they unjury, premiere, muscle milk etc. Thanks in advance

Bariatric Advantage High Protein Meal Replacement Protein shakes... I got the chocolate flavor and the orange cream.. The chocolate ones are actually good!

Welcome [mention=374014]Ash84623[/mention]!!! This site has helped me a lot. I have chosen to not tell many people about what I'm doing. My husband and mother are the only ones that know. It's good to be able to come to this site and see how I'm feeling in someone else's post. I don't feel so weird with the thoughts I have lol. I'm wrapping up day 4 of my 2 week diet. I'm done about 3-4 lbs so far. Today was a much easier day considering my husband and kids had pizza for dinner. I had a small portion of steak and raw cauliflower. I did steal some mushrooms off of my husband's pizza. Currently drinking peppermint tea to curve this head hunger.

Yes the first week was hard! I ate some of the wrong things on Thanksgiving but I have been following the rules since. 3 days left its getting so real!!

My surgery is set for Dec. 11th and I am 10 days into my liquid diet. It has been going pretty well with my energy level being fairly steady, but I look extremely haggard. I have really dark circles under my eyes that came out of nowhere. anyone else run into this issue???

Day before my surgery during the pre admit after 1 1/2 hr with the RN going over EVERYTHING the finance guy pops in and says my insurance approvel statis is still pending and needed to cancel or fork over 40K. I ended up zipping over to the surgeon office and got a copy of the approval letter then back to the Hospital . Now sitting here in stomache pain ...
