Hello everyone! I'm 32' date=' 2 kiddos, military spouse, and will be sleeved on October 3. I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow and I'm super excited, but super nervous at the same time. Hubby doesn't want me to get this done, but still stands by me (I'm blessed to have such an awesome guy). My surgeon is Dr. Harnisch at BAMC at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. I'm ready to commit to this 2 week pre-op diet without hurting anyone. I hope to hear about everyones success stories as hopefully my future posts will be successful as well. Good luck everyone.

Welcome to all the new october sleevers!

Reality has set in. I have completed my pre-op nutrition class, preop admission for the hospital. I am starting to really feel the fear and nerves shoot thru the roof. I am so fearful of the unknown.. I am starting to doubt my decision. I have lost 30 lbs since the last doctor visit on 7/11/12, so my current weight is 269 lbs. I do not start my preop diet until 9/27/12 and I am sure to lose another 15 to 20 lbs by my surgery date of 10/11/12. I am so confused, scared, nervous and worried if I am doing the right thing! Is there others that feel this way this close to the surgery date? Help me October Sleevers regroup...

I am getting nervous too. We have the same date. I don't start pre-op diet until Oct 1st. I am more worried about being able to get through pre-op diet than surgery. We can do it!!!!! Just think how much healthier and happier we will be this time next year!

I know I am excited !! And nervous too lol

I'm really nervous too, wasn't until they said my surgery date then reality sank in

Nerves have had the best of me also!!!

Have you started any pre op program ? I start liquid sept 25 and really haven't done anything else ... I need to start walking

My husband had the VS/DS 3-1/2 years ago and considers it the best thing he ever did. He celebrates his surgery anniversary as his new birthday since he got his life back that day. He hasn't gained anything back and enjoys everything he eats and drinks!

Nerves have had the best of me also!!!

I think they have the best of all of us
