Last week, after I spoke to my in-laws, I told a few of my close colleagues at work. I knew they would be supportive, but I didn't expect them all to say they were proud of me and excited for me! Less than a week to go!!!

Started mine a couple days ago. Had a difficult time at first, but it's much better today. Hang in there, we'll make it! My Sleeve is on the 11th.

I'm not familiar with the Liquid IV stuff. What is that?

I'm getting my sleeve done on the 11th, also! Keep me updated on how your experience goes, would ya?

I'm having a Gastric Sleeve on the 11th, as well! I feel you about being a little nervous. It kind of depends on the day and whether or not I think about everything ese I need to get done before I can't do anything except sit on my butt for a while. Oddly, or maybe not, I'm now thinking of what I want to eat before I have to start the liquid pre-surgery diet. It sounds like we have some similarities in the changes we have had to make. Remembering to eat breakfast and not eating my largest meal at the end of the day. That's part of how I got to be overweight in the first place. Probably the biggest switch for me has been to get away from carbonated beverages! When do you actually start your preop diet?

What part of NE are you from? Mine is scheduled for the 11th in Omaha.

Me, too! I'm getting butterflies just a little bit, but I think it's more from the relief of knowing it is almost here after getting through all of the hoops.

I'm 51 and just got my surgery date last week - Sept 11th. I've lost just at 30 pounds pre-surgery so far. Getting excited that it is coming up, also a little nervous - feeling like I need to make sure I get a few last "solids" I like in before the months of liquid and puree. I feel like I am stagnating right before my surgery, I'm hoping that is not the case, as I have been having very little trouble motivating myself, so far. I think it's more nerves than anything. So far, I have chosen not to tell anyone outside of my household. I am planning to tell my in-laws in the next week. Not sure if I'll talk to anyone else about it before it's done.

And I'm the 11th. Lol

Just got my date of September 11th! I'm very excited, nervous, anxious. What are good ideas to focus on a on for the few weeks?

Turns out I will have to wait until September to get mine done. Just a bit longer, I guess.

Just got the call from my surgeon yesterday that my insurance gave the go ahead. They will call me with my surgery date in the next day or two! Excited, scared, more excited...

Crossing my fingers, it may still be in August. I should hear sometime this week.
