I'm so excited!!! I'll be sleeved tomorrow and I can't believe it is actually about to happen. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep!

Congrats, keep us updated we are all right behind you

Next step going back to the nutritionist next week after a month of pre op dieting. I've lost all of 2 lbs <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />. I'm lost bc it's discouraging with only losing such little weight. Anyone know what the steps are after meeting with the biaritrac nurse? Wondering what my time line is to get this ish done! Also they haven't even started the process with my insurance though I don't think I will have a prob I only need to obtain a PA and already saw my Pcp and received referrals

Is there a minimum amount of weigh You have to loss during pre-op. cause I am slowly dropping and may only lose 8-10 pound before surgery. I hope that won't be a factor.

Just thought I'd share my results so far! Highest weight was 270' date=' pre-op I was 246 and I'm now 205. I love my sleeve! Here's some pictures![/quote']

Great job, keep those updates coming. You look great already.

Down 86lbs!

Amazing, you look great!!!!

Hey My August folks. My date has been moved up twice. First I was September 23rd' date=' then September 3rd, now I am August 2nd. I am glad to join you all on the losers bench really soon.[/quote']

That's great! Welcome to the group.

I hope you guys going before me feel well enough to update us on your procedure. Good luck to all of us. Stay in touch.

I am soooo hungry right now. I have my pre-op appt tomorrow and get sleeved on August 5th. I hope I can make it. These Protein Drinks are not makin it. I'm good til about 2:00 then I'm hungry.

Hey August 5th sleevers , are you on an all liquid diet or can you have a low cal meal?

Thanks for doing that list......a lot of us on 8/6' date=' wow!

I started the pre-op liquid diet on Saturday...it's not bad so far.....HOWEVER, this is self imposed rather than mandatory, so maybe because I know I can eat if I want to, that I don't mind it.....come tomorrow when it officially begins, I may not be such a happy camper LOL

Have a great day everyone!!!!![/quote']

What does your pre op diet consist of?

Where do you get those measure trackers I see on some people's blog.

I finally have my surgery date (8/14) and I am beyond excited. Looking for some sleeve buddies to go through this process with. I have been making changes already and so far so good. I have increased my activity level and stopped drinking Diet Dr Pepper' date=' which was a huge change for me. What is everyone else doing to prepare? Does anyone who is post op have any helpful tips for things to have on hand after surgery?[/quote']

I'm aug 5 and need to prepare for post op diet but I don't know what I can drink. Anyone have any suggestions?

Don't start my preop diet until the 22nd. When do u start??

What does your diet entail? I am on aug 5 th and I hear some people say they don't have to do the liquid diet. Just curious what are the two options. What can you drink on your diet?

August 5th!!!! I start the pre-op diet on Monday....getting both excited and nervous!

I too am Aug 5th. I go for pre op appt on the 25th. I am so ready to get started. I'm trying to find a forum on the pre a d post diet so Ivan get mentally prepared. Also gotta food shop ahead of time.
