Finally contacted

Well today I decided to call Dr Ellsmere's office to inform him of my progress that in fact i have lost the 30 pounds he wanted off before doing surgery.

Well just a few minutes ago, I received my first e-mail from Diana Lowler. She said for me to do alot that I have already done .....she told me to do a 2-3 week trial on the liquid diet then go to the 1200 cal diet..... and they would see me the end of may the first of June.

Oh my goodness...FINALLY word. I am excited, and yet a bit scared at the same time. Now i must decide when i want to start the liquid diet n get things rolling. will be a lil leary with regulating my insulin levels..but heck ive done it so far..hopefully it wont be too bad.

I know i will be surely askin info bout the liquid diet etc on how you all did and any tips etc. I feel like i gutta go cram LMAO i know i have read n read it but now that it is closer..it's so sureal  

That's SUPER news!!!  You won't have any problems with the liquid diet - I mean, it's no fun, but look at all you've done so far & it's obvious that your determined!!  :)  Don't worry about having a touch of cold feet - I think we all had that - it's a huge decision so it's to be expected, but this is all so very worth the time & trouble!  Congrats!!! 

 
Great news, you are going to do fabulous. So glad to hear about people moving forward in this journey.

I cant stand soup anymore cause of the liquid diet.lol But thats just me. I found the 1200 cal diet to be easier although with buying boost etc it can get expensive. But i did manage to lose 24lbs in two months following those diets.

Congrats and i wish you the best of luck!

Yay! That is great news.  You've already come so far that you can handle the rest, no problem.  Keep a close watch on your sugars and you'll be fine.  You said it yourself, that you've done it so far, keep going.  See you Sunday!

Thanks so much Angie, Kimberleyann, Kitty, and nannydeb. I think I will start my 3 week liquid diet a week from tomorrow on April 21st. That should take me to the middle of May, plenty of time before I go down to Halifax.

LOl think I will have to set my watch to sound an alarm every hour to remind me to get down what i need. lol It's going to be a test for me to cook for my son during this...or he may just have a trial run of his own of cooking for himeself for three weeks LMFAO

Funny how someone said to me I will have to have my favorite meal in before...I kinda looked at them in a huh? LOL i have been on 1200 for a while that I really don't crave or long for anything of the like...n feel quite satified with what i am eating. 

I'm so happy to see things are coming together for you now!

My surgery is on May 12th, and although my surgeon didn't say I had to do the liquid diet, I'll do it along with you for the support and get myself used to post-op!  

I'll start mine then too!!!!!  .........Look out April 21st, we're gonna be doing a lot of sippin & drinking!!! 

BTW:  MY family isn't gonna know what hit them when they realize I'm NOT going to be cooking for a long while....Thank God it's almost BBQ season for them!  Baaahahahahaha

well that sounds like a plan coreena, tomorrow is the day...going to be at my girlfriends for a week watching her animals while she is gone to cuba....making sure everything is packed up. i must remember to take my measure tape n measure this n that so i can keep track of my inches.

annnnnnd I am now off my blood pressure medication...whooo hooo

This is good news.  I can see that you are "working the program" and doing it right.

I can only hope that I can do it as well if/when I get there.  

From everything I have read - once you have the surgery, you won't have to worry about sugar levels again.  Won't that be terrific?

it sure will be terrific... last time i bought insulin ..it's been lastin me a while...hopefully i wont have to buy anymore.
