Got my surgery date for August 15th! 10 day all liquid diet starts on the 5th and I am nervous about it, but mostly excited because it means surgery is right around the corner. Any other August people in here? How are you? What are you doing to prepare for the big day? Look forward to hearing everyone's story

Cannot wait 🤗🤗 the day is finally here!

That's awesome! How are you feeling?

Getting so close! Just a few more days. How are you feeling about it?

Congrats to all of those who have already had surgery and well wishes to all of those who are about to go into it ❤️ Don't forget there is a Facebook page for all of our August people! There is a group chat going for encouragement/questions/support. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1478635729539987

Hey surgery twin! I am on the pre op diet too and it's been difficult. Just over a week left, we are almost there! 🙂

Just for anyone who may have joined this chat later, there is a Facebook group! It's under "August 2023 Bariatric Surgery Support Group" it's just for us to chat and keep each other on track. Please feel free to join! 🙂

How exciting! Coming up very soon 🙂

Thank you so much for that information! I've been looking for a good protein shake for a while so this is super helpful 🙂 I hope your revision went well!

If they aren't concerned, I wouldn't be concerned 🙂 did they explain why there was no need for a pre op diet?

It will be here before you know it, it's actually only next month now that it's officially August. We are all still here for you! 🙂

How exciting! Please keep us updated so we can cheer you on 🤗

Ok lovelies! I have created a Facebook group after doing some Google research lol it is a private group and you will have to request to join. It is called "August 2023 Bariatric Surgery Support Group" There is also a group chat there so we can all talk a little easier 🙂

Let me know if anyone creates a Facebook group or chat, I'm not sure how to do that or I would get one going!

I would love to be a part of that!

I think it's totally natural to mourn the loss of food! It was what we have known for so long and it is a huge change. I am also ready to live to eat and not the other way around. It will be such a nice change!

So glad you get to have a meal! That's awesome, I have heard that it makes it pretty bearable for pre-op from other people I have talked to. Getting so close, cant wait to hear all about it!

Getting so close! How are you feeling?

I'm really looking forward to mine! Were there any questions that you thought to ask while you were there or that you thought of after the fact?

I have a 10 day all liquid diet leading up to surgery, and I know its going to suck but we totally got this! As far as the haters, just do your best to ignore what they say. If you are anything like me you have done TONS of research on this and have spoken to your medical team. If it is just coming from a place of concern on her part, maybe hit her with some research that she can refer back to. I like to tell people that my risk for obesity related complications is much higher than my risks for surgery. I am content with my decision, and thats all that matters

Hi surgery twin, I am also in Northern, CA! So excited for this journey with everyone

How did the class go? Did they give you lots of good information? My class is on the 31st!

Congratulations! So exciting! How are you feeling about the liquid diet, for whatever reason it's the thing I am most nervous about.

I'm so excited for us all! I had to look up what Barret's Esophagus is, and that sounds like it would be really uncomfortable. I am sorry you have had to deal with that, and here's to hoping for relief and weight loss for you!

How exciting! I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you for an August date :) keep us updated!
