I've seen a few posts... how many of us are having surgery in September?

Mine is the 15th... anyone else? 

i'm on the 15th also...just want it over with...and to be on the recovery side...how bout you

yes, excited...not loving the liquids right now...but oh well...not really nervous yet...I'm sure when I go in for pre-op on Wed it will sink in a little more!  Are you getting nervous?

im excited to be down the road a little from surgery, i've never had surgery before...and am nervous about it, anestesia (sp) etc...I have to do 2 weeks liqiud diet..how bout you? its been rough, I am lucky to get 3 in a day..I am on an anti biotic and cant take it close to the shakes, so i kinda have to cram them into the middle of the day, hopefully i will be able to get more in next week...how much are you hoping to lose? 

I'm on  a liquid diet as well, for 12 days...it is rough, but I'm allowed one of the bariatric protein bars a day which helps...at least I can chew something once a day.  I have lost 18.5 so far and have about 68 more to go.  Sorry about it interfering with your meds.. hopefully this week goes by fast! ;) 

i would love to be able to throw a bar in there...you've lost 18.5 lbs in just a few days on your liquid diet?

no, since I started with the program in April...lol   it would be a nice thought! 

oh did you have to do a diet for insurance?...im a self pay...

Not really a diet, but meeting with the Nut in this program she started me focusing on proteins...cutting out bread and mixed foods so that gradually over the last 4 months I've changed how I intake food so it won't be such a shock after surgery.   I started a blog about going through it if you're interested...  http://pursuingasleeve.blogspot.com/2014/04/and-so-it-starts.html  

It helps keep me focused.  Self pay must be hard...did you still have to go through all the visits with a Nut and everything? 

yes all the same tests...just not the 6 month pre op diet...
