So it's finally here...my surgery day is tomorrow!! I've been doing the pre-op diet and really miss chewing food but it's been fun watching the scale drop a little as I do the liquid diet. I can't wait to be on the other side of the surgery and see that scale drop more! :rolleyes:

My emotions go from excited to scared/nervous throughout the day. I do think I'm doing the right thing for me but surgery is still scary. If any of you would pray or think happy thoughts for me tomorrow I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'm so glad I found this forum. I have learned so much from all of your experiences and advice. I hope to someday be able to offer advice to other new sleeve sisters and brothers! :D

Hello.. best of luck tomorrow!

I was wondering what the preop diet is and how long you are on it... do you get it from the doctor or are you simply advised what to do by him?

Thank you for your help and be safe and healthy!

Thanks Julia!

I got the pre-op diet from my doctor. It was a week of Protein shakes for Breakfast and lunch and then a chicken salad or chicken and veggies for dinner. Then three days before surgery, it is Clear Liquids only. It's been a struggle at times but great practice for life post-op. I've already lost 9 lbs before surgery!!

Thank you so much for a prompt reply :)

I am smiling thinking of how exciting this all is! I am planning on heading to Mexico August 6th. I have to decide between Dr. Kelly and Dr. Aceves. Both have good reputations. The cost is just significantly less with Dr. Kelly. I wish I could make up my mind! lol

How did you decide?

Thanks

Julia

Thanks LilMissDiva! You look fabulous...can't wait to drop this weight!

Julia, I went with Dr. Kelly because I researched and like what I found out about him. I think Aceves is an excellent choice as well...he's just further away from me and traveling there would have been more difficulty. I'll add you as a friend so I can update you when I'm post-op and let you know what's going on. :)

If I could have re done the whole experience I would have went with dr.aceves I chose dr.kelly and am finding that my incisions are much larger then my mothers who went with dr.aceves but its all personal choice. Also with one of my incisions... the one that my stomach was pulled out of it looked like a quater inch above that he wsnt sure where he wanted to cut and at last minute went a little lower so I have 2 scars where the stomach comes out of. But best of luck to you and your decision.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
