I'm set up for February 4th. Seems like forever away. People keep telling me, "oh don't worry". It bugs me cause I'm not worried. What seems to keep popping in my head is, am I doing the right thing.

I would like to here what others are thinking, going through.

My Doctors plan is two days preop clear liquid, not 10 like I've been reading on here. Anyone else similar?

Thanks,

Kimo

I'm scheduled for Feb 4th as well

I know time is going to fly and I will be trying to get my bags packed and get last minute stuff done lol!

I am also February 4th. I've been on the pre-op diet since January 1st. I was suppose to go in on January 14th but I came down with a bad ear infection 2 nights before. I've given myself some room on the pre-op diet the last few days and I feel horrible. Tomorrow I will elect to go back 100%.

My pre op appointment is February 4th and my surgery date is February 21st. I was told I'd start the pre-op diet they give me after my appointment on the 4th (:

Awesome.....3 Feb. 4th's and a Preop on 4th as well. Our lives are going to change forever!! I welcome the change and challenge.

My Preop was Jan. 10th, and yes they give you a detailed diet. Plus, examples of what to eat. Myself, I'm on a 1,400 cal diet until two days out then liquid only.

I am so ready, only been overweight for about 10 years.......I want my life back!!!

I was thinking they were going to put me on an all liquid diet the whole two weeks before but I hope my doctor gives me what your on. How long are you planning to take off work, if you don't mind me asking?

My surgery date is Feb 14. I am suppose to go to Surgery Boot Camp on feb 6 which is when I am suppose to find out about the diet before surgery.

I'm Feb 6th, whoohoo oh yea. Lol no pre op diet, but I'm still gonna do one. I have my pre op appt on Feb 1st. And I have an upper GI Feb 5th, then off to my surgery. Omg I waited so long for this and I'm so ready. Let's do this February sleevers! Fist pump in the air lol.

Hi slimmingdani,

Every dr. Seems to be different.

My dr. Said min. Of 2 weeks, max 6 weeks. My plan is 2 weeks, but luckily i have saved 17 days vacation. I'd really like to go back after 1 week, but dr. Says no.

Feel free to ask anything.

Have a great day!

My preop is Feb 8th...surgery is Feb 18th! My prepo diet is 10 days. 2 liquid meals and one small, low carb, low fat meal per day. Glad I get some food that 10 days!

Hi Mastiff_mama,

Yes, having no food so many days out is a setup for failure in my opinion. But that's just my opinion. I get that we will be on liquid diet afterward, but i believe we wont want food for while anyways.

Good luck n have a great day!!

After about the third or fourth day on the pre-op diet, I no longer cared about eating. Make sure to get enough protein and you will be good.

I'm scheduled for February 27th preop diet for 10 days before

My pre-op is on the 12th and surgery is on the 15th!
