10 days until surgery! Gastric sleeve. Been on pre-op diet for four days now. Excited, and anxious. Mostly excited about the long term outcome. Finally taking control .... wish I had done this years ago!

So far I am doing well. The Protein Shakes are so filling. I am supposed to have 4 a day but geez its tough. I haven't been hungry because they fill me up. I am making sure I get my Water in and some broth. Last night I did wake up hungry so i had a couple bites of Jello. How are you feeling?

A bit anxious at the moment.

Making my sugar-free Jello so I have something to snack on. If I keep busy, I do better.

You have worked hard to get this far; you know how to succeed. You got this!

WLS scheduled for 11/30. I start my pre-surgery diet on 11/16. I am excited, and nervous. I found "The Big Book on Bariatric Surgery", from there I found this site. Good to read how other people are doing on their journey.

I start my pre-op diet in the morning. I am so ready to get this process underway. I am tired of this extra weight. I know I can do this. Feels strange to be telling others that I can't eat what they are eating. I carry Water everywhere I go. Thanks giving, I am making the dressing/stuffing and two of the Desserts. Never cooked without tasting what I was making. It will be an interesting experience. I feel like my thoughts are all over the place. (Nervous much?)

Oh a three day liquid diet sounds fantastic. I have to do a two week liquid diet and it starts soon, my surgery date in November 28, 2022.

MerriBeth, how are you doing? I statt my two week liquid diet tomorrow. My surgery is scheduled for the 30th.

My surgery is 11-28, I am wondering if I am the last one in November? Just curious if anyone is around or after that time?

My surgery is 11-30, you are not alone for an end of month procedure. When do you start your pre-op diet?
