I'll be getting sleeved on October 5th! I've been through all appointments. All I have left is a preop class at the hospital and preadmissuon labs and blood work the week before. My doctor doesn't require liquid diet preop for BMI under 50 but I'm going to follow a modified one anyway, I think. I'd love a buddy or several with similar dates! I'm not on Facebook, so I'm a little bummed I can't join that group.

October 5th! I put it on my calendar, labeled "Birthday #2" Here we go!

Hi. My surgery is also October 5. So far I've just been testing out different protein drinks and focusing on things like eating cleaner. I'm still enjoying a favorite food occasionally, but no "last meal" binges. I want to stay out of that mentality since it is a slippery slope for me. I cut out carbonation and caffeine. That was not as hard as I thought it would be. I've started drinking more water. My doctor only requires a pre-op diet for BMI over 50. My BMI IS 42.6. But I'm planning to do some kind of liquid diet at least for the week prior to surgery. I feel safer that way. Good luck! I'm brand new here and getting nervously excited, but hopefully we can support each other as we go through it all!
