Hi, are there any other July sleevers out there. Golly it feels like forever away... 10 weeks to go...

Mine is on the 15th. I am super nervous and emotional. Can't wait till it gets here because I will not be backing out and the wait is terrible.

The wait is what kills every one but is almost here

Liquid diet day 3...super hungry

Keep going honey you will make it! By day four/five you will have it under control. Drink heaps of water xox

Ok I have a weird?... Lol I am on 4th day of pre-op diet' date=' and I gained 3lbs and having trouble with my bm's.. Got desperate and took softener/stimulant and bam relief & 3lbs gone.. Will I need to take miralax powder every day? I know it might come in handy post-op. Is this common during pre-op?[/quote']

Yes,drink more water it's a natural laxative

First day of liquid diet...July 1st - Dr Kim Colleyville. It took me years to be able to self pay however; I am 7-days away~ I can't wait to be on the "other" side. I have the best support system...my husband and friend are also doing the liquid diet with me to support and help me along the way....Happy Monday all ~

My bf and his nephew wanted to do the LD with me but i told them no. They shouldnt suffer for me. Their best support is making all the foods they eat that I hate! Lol

Allyson, I am the 23rd as well. I'm starting pre-op diet today (Sunday) because I didn't want my first day to be at work. I want to try to get settled into it at home. I am super nervous too. My primary anxiety at this point is the pre-op diet. I feel like I'm just now strapping myself into the seat of a really big roller coaster.

Well' date=' today wasn't too bad for the first day of the pre-op diet. I even had a little bit more than 100 calories left over, and I'm not hungry, though I should go have another glass of water before I go to sleep, methinks. I'm glad I decided to start one day early, though. I have a hard time thinking I'm going to lose 10 lbs in one week on this, but hey, that's what the sheet says. 10 lbs, 7 days, 870 calories a day. Go, me![/quote']

I did the liquid diet for two days and lost 10 pounds! So far after four days of liquid (with the 4th in between - I ate on the 4th) I am down 13 lbs

Elaine so am I ! I feel like I should be ready more. I am afraid I will fail, but I know I need to eliminate that idea from my mind. I've struggled since middle school with weight and now it's my chance to finally feel healthy and happy. I'm just letting my nerves and fear of caving in dutton pre op scare me. I know post op will be a bit easier.

I have my surgery date of July 25. I can't believe it is less than three weeks away. I've been reading every book but it is not as informative as everyone's postings. Good luck to everyone!

Funny how I'm not feeling the nerves at all yet. Wonder if I'll ever get em lol. I feel like a weirdo haha!

Surgery on the 25th here.

I am having surgery on the 25th as well. It will be here before we know it. Good luck to you

I've got two days left before my surgery. The prep diet has gone well, down 14#. I'm hungry and there has been lots of temptation but its short term and it will make the surgery go better, so not a big deal. Here's the weird part, being a guy I am used to my dreams being driven by my baser instincts. My dreams are mostly testosterone fueled adventures, think action movie / porn. So the last few nights it seems my brain has a taken a turn from the usual having sex while driving through explosions on a high-speed car chase to the food channel. Yes ladies and gents, I am dreaming about food and not healthy food. I can't recall ever having a food dream but I've got them now. So I guess if fat guy can't have his way when I'm awake, he's going to pig out in my dreams. Of course one of them was hotdogs chasing donuts so the testosterone is still there on some level.

I am having surgery on the 25th as well. It will be here before we know it. Good luck to you

I know right. This wait is killer though! . But it'll come soon enough lol. Good luck to you too!
