I Got My Surgery Date.... July 30Th... Anyone Else With Me.

I am so totally ready for this. I feel like I have researched this until I was blue in the face. I am confident this is the right step for me.... I am trapped in a fat person's body. I haven't felt like my self for five years. I want to dance, and karaoke again :-)

I hear ya I'm scared too.. We'll have to keep each other posted on progress. Good Luck

I'm on July 30th too! Glad to have some sleevers to go through this with!!

I too will be sleeved July 30th. Are you guys doing the pre op diet? This is my 3rd day of Unjury shakes and water only.

My doctor only makes his patients to a liquid pre op diet the day before. Can you believe we only have 10 days left?? I am getting very anxious!!!!

I'm July 30th also. I'm doing the two week pre op liquid. I'm on day three and so far not to bad. Best of luck to everyone......

I can't wait for these 10 days to be up!! Im so ready to move on over to the other side. Its funny how these surgeons do things so differently. Glad to see others going in on the same day.. we can help and support each other.

We will definitely need to keep each other posted... I just found out I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am. The hospital is an hour away. This means I have to be up at 3:30 ouch!

I'm the 30th as well!! And I'm also doing a preop liquid diet (started Monday). It's my choice as I'm not over the 300# mark that is required by my doctor for a liquid diet.

I do Protein shakes (Chike, EAS Myoplex and Muscle Milk) throughout the day, but I need to get in more Water. I switched over to Silk Soy milk to hopefully help not get a lactose intolerance. And I allow myself 1 Soup a day just to get in some flavor and warmth. I haven't gotten the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury yet. Where does everyone get it from?

I've done a juice fast (nothing but blended up fruits and vegetables) for 10 days straight before, so this isn't too bad for me yet. Today was the first day I actually missed food - but that was only because I grabbed my girls a happy meal since we were running errands all day today. And no, I didn't cheat once (not even to lick the ketchup off of my finger!).

I'm the day after you on the 31st and it cannot come soon enough. I'm so ready to start my new life!

Wow mustangsherry that's really early...but it will all be worth it. The Cleveland Clinic won't even give a time until the day before. I'm with you though.. I have done lots of research and know the risks vs the benefits and I know this is the right decision for me. I have MS and my doctor said I will feel alot better after this too.

Who is your doctor at Cleve Clinic? I have Dr. Krohl on aug 29th!

When did they bring you in for all the bloodwork and surgeon visit before surgery?
