Hey Guys,

It took me 13 months fighting with my insurance to get approved. And I finally did. I need your help though.. I read most of you guys get on a liquid diet way before the surgery to loose some pounds.. Can you tell me more about it? I actually have no idea what do I need to do to prep..
I have an appoitment with my surgeon tomorrow (12th)...and I hope I will be told all I need to know..but I want to hear from you guys..

Tell me what to expect if you already had the surgery? Or what are you doing to get ready if you havent had it yet?

Thank you so much and good luck to all of us.

Me too..Me too...
I am on the 30th too. I fought my insurance for 13 months and its finally here...

I have been lucky to have had nothing but support (my mother was a luke warm supprt but still support).  I have actually been suprised with the support.  I hope you have found some support at your end.  I agree that this is the place to go for the good vibes though.  Every time I feel myself thinking of the "waht ofs" I definitely read through here and it makes me psyched up all over again!

Good luck to you,  Let me know how it goes.

6 days to go!!!

11 pounds is awesome!  I have lost 9 pounds.  I was now thinking about what I have to bring to the hospital and then was getting nervous again.    Today was a tough day on the diet - not sure why - but I ended up eating some grilled chicken and a salad - thinking if that was what held me together I would be OK and it would not cause me to gain any weight,

What liquid diet are you all doing? 

HI Everyone,
This is my first post. I am also scheduled for 11/17. I can't wait. I read all of these posts to see how I'll feel after surgery. I have been on the liquid diet since 11/2 and have lost 11 pounds so I already feel like its going great. Good Luck to everyone. Please continue to post so  know how everyone is coping.
Thanks,
Ellen
