@ninamarie @ that's different maybe it depends on weight, because I do know some people I have met are on a pre-op diet for up to 4 WEEKS! It's meant to shrink the liver but lucky you for only having to drink liquids the day before
@@mizzmegan official surgery twins! Are you having to do a pre-op diet?

I am having surgery January 13th. I just received my approval today!

I'm on day 7 (of 14) of a clear liquid pre-op diet. I can have 3-4 Protein shakes a day and Clear liquids (broth, sugar free Jello, non-caffeinated tea). In all honesty, it really hasn't been bad. I haven't had any bad days -- not even Christmas. I've discovered that warm liquids are my best friend!

@@dayciavu Well done on keeping up with it. Mine is pretty much the same gives me a set of what I can't eat for Breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as Snacks, very low carbs. A liquid diet would be very extreme! I would find it very hard, but excited for a better lifestyle. Officially starting tomorrow I think the first few days may be easiest as I have done various crash diets but cannot guarantee anything.

I don't have a Pre op diet , just the day before is liquids. I wonder why it's different ? January 11th

My surgeon is the same...only liquids the day prior to surgery.

I start my pre-op diet TOMORROW! Jan 13th surgery date, how have you all been finding the pre-op diet if you have started?

I am December 30th, but I come home on January 1st. Does that count? ????

My surgery is on January 6th....excited!

January 4th

I am a January 6th surgery, too!!!!

My date is Jan 8th.. I had the Lap Band for 8 1/2. I had problems all along, but it continued to worsen, back in July. I had it removed and wanted the sleeve. My Dr. told me to heal first. The insurance I have now only covers the RNY Gastric bypass. I really want the sleeve. But I have to do something... have gained 25 lbs, in5 months. I have tried to be good but my lap band prevented from holding anything down. I have a supper slow metabolism and take thyroid a supplement. So I am ready!!! I am 61. Elaine from alabama

I was enjoying this thread until whatever just happened...lets keep threats out of this.

@@Social Introvert I feel amazing. I can up 5 flights of stairs without getting tired, I can also jog 5 miles. I still have to get used to the idea that I'm no longer 275 lbs, but info feel great.

January 13th here!

January 7th! I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

Congrats everyone! I'm having surgery some time in January, but I'm just not sure when. I'm self-pay because my company's ins excludes bariatric surgery from our plan.
My Doc has me on a wait list for December, in the event someone needs to cancel. During my initial visit, he told me that I missed out on a cancellation schedule by two days. Nonetheless, he's working diligently with his coordinator to get me in soon because I am self-pay.
I guess I should be glad that my Doc stays so busy with surgeries, but it's driving me nuts that the coordinator keeps e-mailing and saying that she is waiting on him to sign-off on a few things before she can confirm my surgery date. I am very anxious and ready for this to happen, just as some of you. My wife is pushing me to call the office on Monday and request a date because I am hoping to work around some travel dates and some important meeting dates that I have for work during the month of January. I'm hoping to be one of the first after my Doc's time off after the holiday.

January 4th!

January 5th! ????
