I want to like cry...Thank you lord..OMG i have to start this diet...how does everyone do in the last days before surgery..protein/liquid DIET....OMG i need advice...IM all over the place excited.

I'd jump up and down with you, but my tummy doesn't want me doing that yet When you meet with your surgeon and/or dietician they will let you know what type of pre-op diet you should be on. It varies quite a bit. I had to do one week liquid diet. You just take it one day at a time and you'll be there before you know it!

Congrats!

LOL..

I'm happy for you. Same day as mine! . Doing 2 Slimfast and 2 Slimfast snacks and small dinner each day for 2 weeks before. Already did samplings of liquid protein. Found a great deal - do one whey protein bullet (42 grams protein and $2.87 at Walmart) and add to bottle of water. Be sure and get at least 65 grams of protein per day after diet. I know someone who had surgery in November 2012 and is losing hair because she isn't getting enough protein. Good luck!

YES we will finally be losers! LOL..and don't worry, I'm really nervous too even after all the fighting I did with my insurance to get this, I'm still nervous..I think that's pretty normal though..In a few months we will be talking about how excited we are that we did it!

OK I JUST BOUGHT SLIM FAST shake AND SLIM FAST 100 CALORIE BAR..AND ATKINS 140 CALORIE BARS...IM NERVOUS...HOPE I CAN STICK WITH THIS

Did your surgeon say you have to do a pre-op diet? My surgeon says it isn't necessary so I'm lucky about that..Good luck, you can do it! Just keep telling yourself it will all be worth it..

My surgery is next wed march 6th I have to do 2week preop and have cheated a few times but still down 7 lbs and hope to be down 10 before wed. I have 70 -80 to lose and will be the size I was in my 20s! Just want my pre diabetes and hypertension to go away and extend my life as much as possible. The benefit of thinness is something I haven't felt for over 30 years. I am so anxious to be done and healed and watch the scale go in the right direction.

Congrats to those who posted about their surgery approval today! So happy for you!, my best friend was sleeved in July of 2011 she lost 140 lbs total-about 28 pre surgery. She looks and feels wonderful!
