Hi! I'm new here. My surgery date was 6/30, but they called last week to ask if I minded if we went with 6/23 instead. I'm so excited.
Today is the first day of my liquid diet-- I was on vacation when they moved me up, so they said just to start the minute I came back.

I am scheduled for June 23, as well. Pre-op is June 18th.

Safety first! This is serious stuff you're signing up for. Give your body every advantage to come through the surgery without complications. It's hard, I agree. But you will need even more discipline than that after surgery while you are on liquids for weeks. Embrace it, surrender to it, and know that this, too, shall pass. And you'll be so glad you did when you begin to see dramatic, and I mean dramatic, changes in your body size, your breathing, your sleeping, your hunger, your complexion, your mood, all within the first month post-op. It's real, and it's waiting for you. As RuPaul likes to say to his drag queen contestants, "Good luck... and don't f&!@ it up!"
