Same thing happened to me - I'm on the 25th now. Was originally scheduled for September 15th. I know it's only 2 weeks earlier but it feels much earlier to me!

Just got a call that someone canceled for Aug 27 and I took the date. Excited and nervous all at the same time.

My surgery (sleeve) was done on July 30th and I am in the midst of two week post op liquid diet. I feel great, just a little bit of itching and pain at the two largest incisions...and of course, I would love to eat something...anything!! Last night my daughter and I ordered Soups from Panera (Summer Corn Chowder) and I strained mine and gave her all the "stuff" and just ate the broth/cream and OH. MY. GOSH. I was in heaven!!!! I didn't add Protein Powder to it because I had two Premier Protein shakes already. Things I recommend:
1) GENEPRO powder - I tried several Protein powders but this was the smallest scoop and easiest to blend. I usually mix it in a little milk, broth or Water and add it to any hot soups/broths. I use it to make Jello shooters that have protein in them, protein pudding and add to broths to make them higher in protein.
2) Use Premier Protein (especially caramel) in Decaf coffee
3) Don't buy the nasty powdered soups...or if you do, don't buy too many! I have 4 boxes and they are the WORST! (At least for me).
4) Swanson Sipping Broths (45-50 calories and 9 grams of protein) Easy to heat, easy to drink.
I cannot wait to get to the puree stage...and then real food!! And I am down 10.5 pounds from surgery day so a little over a pound a day.
GOOD LUCK!! This is going to be a game changer!

I think alot of us feel this way lol

I made it to the losers bench yesterday

My doctor called this morning and they moved me up to August 25th! That feels so soon!!! I'm ready, though!

Today is the day lol I am excited can’t wait to get started with my new and healthier life style!!! It will be hard the first few weeks but well worth it. When I first started this journey back in March I was 355 and today I am down to 315 and steadily dropping which is awesome soon I will be at my goal weight and healthy and fit for myself and my son. I pray that my surgery goes well today.

I'm a September surgery too! September 15th. I can't wait.

I'm approved and got a surgery date! September 15, here I come.

I have nectar unflavored Protein powder that I made some protein Jello shots with! It has no taste at all! The jello is a little grainy but not so bad I can't eat it. I taste the flavor of the jello actually. Oh! Sugarfree jello that is. My surgery was the 6th and just now starting to feel a bit better. I pray you feel better soon as well!!

To Mikey’s credit he has been consistent with his attitude for a year now. Always a bit self centered and very matter a fact. Very much his way is right yours is wrong. A bit of a narcissist. He went from an awkward fat man to a confident skinny man. Outside of the WLS community this behavior is called being a d**k.

...its funny because when I was bigger, I thought I was smaller than I really was. Now that I’m smaller, I think I am bigger than I really am....

Holy cow, @JustLynn I'm glad you are okay, and glad to hear Dr. Fitzer was so great! I'm really getting excited!
