September 17th!!!!!
It's good to hear everyone else is freaking out and it's not just me! I'm going crazy waiting for the last insurance hurdle then I will proceed with my surgery on September 5. I need to start the two week diet, but the office isn't sure if I should without the final OK from insurance....it goes on and on.
I'm happy, I'm stressed, I'm scared, I'm overbuying for post op, and a million other emotions.
Think of where we will all be in 6 weeks!!!!

I feel the same way, lelagoddess!!! I thought I was all alone on the Freak Out Express, so I'm so glad to have found other people on here in the same boat...or ummm...train? IDK. ;)
If I were you, I'd just jump into the pre-op diet. What's the worse that can happen? You get a head start on losing? Although, as soon as I typed that I started counting how many days I have left of eating solid food (not to mention having a "food funeral" or two...bad I know, but I just had to say goodbye to brownie sundaes!) and yeah, I don't blame you for wanting to wait until you absolutely HAVE to do it!
I'm supposed to start mine on Sept. 3rd, but I am planning to start replacing a meal or two with protein shakes/bars this Monday. I figure, it is a nice, gradual way to lead up to the big pre-op diet, and I get to figure out which protein shakes I like the most. And hopefully I will drop some extra weight before surgery time!
Oh, and I'm totally overbuying for post-op too!!! I can't stop looking at blogs and reviews then trying to find the best deals online. It's a new addiction!
Life will be TOTALLY different for all of us in 6 weeks! So crazy to think about it like that!!!

I'm September 17th as well! I need to have my preop surgeon appointment, preop NUT appointment, and then the hospital preop testing ... and oh yeah, also will begin the preop diet Labor Day weekend. It's finally feeling REAL to me! Glad to know some others who have dates close! Best to all of us!
If you change nothing, nothing will change.
