Got a call from the surgical scheduler this morning, and my date is set for July 11th! I was hoping it might be sooner, but not surprised it worked out this way. Means I will be starting my liquid diet while I'm traveling for work - so that will be interesting. I'm also wrestling with not having our annual 4th of July BBQ at my house (which is in a prime location for watching fireworks) - maybe I'll just have ppl over for fireworks but avoid smelling burgers on the grill all day.

Anyone else have a July date set? Wanna support each other through the next weeks?

I have surgery on Thursday and I leave for vacation on Monday! Next summer we are going to Disney again and I will be thin and sexy.

Wow!!! Leaving on Monday .... U take it easy . Next year it will be a new you sliding in those rides so easily .

I have 3 children and we go on vacation every summer. I didn't know it would only be a 2 week process for me.

When do you have to go back to the doctor?

I'm on day 1 of 2 total liquid pre-op and wow I've had a headache ALL day.

I couldn't get clearance from my cardio today. I couldn't last 8 minutes on the treadmill. I told her I had just recently injured my knee and still see a doctor for that, oh well.

Luckily they got me in tomorrow to do a diff cardio test for clearance. All this and my surgery is Thursday!!

well tomorrow morning i will wake up unusually early (assuming I can fall asleep) and walk over to the hospital (it's just a few blocks from my house) to check in at 6:30am. excited/nervous for sure, but those words hardly capture what i'm feeling.

i was hoping I'd have lost 20lbs before surgery - it seemed for a while like that was in reach but the scale hasn't moved in 3 days, so it looks like I'll be 17lbs down pre-surgery (12 of that on the 2 week pre op diet). the last couple of nights i've been having terrible headaches - not sure what that's about or if it's related. i know i'm not dehydrated, that's for sure.

whatever lies ahead - if i'm not back on later in the day, i'll catch y'all on the flipside! good luck to my fellow 7/11 banders!

It's the countdown my friend! 17lbs is amazing! I lost 13lbs during the preop. The headaches are most likely from your body reacting from not getting any carbs or sugar . Side effects of not having those things is usually a headache . You r going to do great... Don't worry..it will go so fast. When I got to the hospital there was no turning back... And I looked up and I was in recovery .

How ae you feeling fashion stylist I go tomorrow as well!!! Aviva and kbush are my band twins!!

My surgery date is July 26th!
