Surgery the 16th

Start my 2 week pre op diet tomorrow, 50g carbs or less, 1,000 cal or less and no less than 30g protien. Daily for 2 weeks.
My pre-op diet is not as restrictive as others. Not sure why. But I'm not complaining.

June 21st here! And nervous.

Tomorrow, I will be starting my journey. I'm excited and apprehensive at the same time. ONE MORE DAY🎉🎉🎉🎉

Got a surgery date of June 22 2022 !!! Who is with me ?!?!

Lol me too !!!! I had this very same question

Not at all! I hope we all do amazing. I have two weeks until I fly to San Antonio. It's getting a bit real at this point.

Awesome! It is nice to have others going through this with me

I scheduled for June 22nd as well! Can’t wait for the next step in my journey!

I'm scheduled for June 8th. 41 years old. Ht. 5'4". Wt. 215.

Originally, I was scheduled for 4/20 and tested positive for covid two days before. I had to wait at least a month to be rescheduled. The positive was the realization of how disappointed I was, all the second guessing is gone this time around. I KNOW that I want this opportunity.

Hello! I just received my surgery date for June 27th. I’m excited and nervous 😅😅

I Feel this way too. I’m starting to look at everything I eat and wonder if I will ever be able to eat it again. It is making me realize how much pleasure I truly associate with food. I need to find something else to fulfill that feeling

Best wishes and positive thoughts to everyone whose surgery is today and this week! Congratulations for sticking with it through the tests, appointments, waiting, etc.
🎉 I HAVE TWO MORE ‘SLEEPS’ 🎉🎉TIL MY WEDNESDAY SURGERY🎉
Continued best wishes and healing thoughts to those who are recovering.
I did a lot of retail therapy yesterday to keep myself occupied. I even started a re-styling project for a favorite piece of furniture. DH even got onboard with it because, well, he ‘just’ knew that it would be best if he did. 😂 LOL
I had the tiniest morsel of birthday cake at a birthday we celebrated after dinner yesterday. Today and tomorrow I’m at school, this afternoon is my COVID test.
I’m keeping busy till Wednesday the best I can.
Thank you to everyone here who provided the most useful diversion and information while I trudged toward approval and surgery!

Congrats! I’ve been completely compliant on the week today on the 5 shakes a day/one snack pre-surgery diet. Surgery is Wednesday the 8th. I’ve dropped 14 lbs in 2 weeks but I know that would come to a screeching halt without surgery…because it always does.
Covid test today.

Feel the same way, just over the battle and ready for the next chapter!

My surgery date is June 28th! I'm so excited it's FINALLY happening. I started back in October and finished the insurance requirements at the end of April.

Amen!!!! Been on the 2 week pre-op diet one week today. Down 100lbs from last month….daddy said why can’t you just keep doing that???? Cause I’ll go up and down and up and down. 262 was my highest and I’m over it and ready for the rest of my journey ❤️

I'm praying everything goes well and that I've done everything right cause I really struggled. God be with all this week that are having your surgeries. Success, no complications, and that the surgeon is well rested and alert. Just good vibes only!!!

Got a surgery date of June 22 2022 !!! Who is with me ?!?!

I didn’t realize until researching the surgery that people travel to Mexico to have it done. Can I ask why that was your choice ? I am just curious. Sorry if that seems blunt but I am interested in why people to travel to have the surgery done. And where do you live if you don’t mind me asking.

My surgery date is June 20th!
