My surgery date is set for June 19th. I'm pretty nervous about a few things. I've never had surgery or been put under so that makes me apprehensive. I'm looking forward to losing weight but it doesn't seem real yet. I meet with the surgeon in May and that's when I find out what my pre op diet will be. Just overall excited but also a little nervous. Anybody relate?

Morsi hole, where are you having yours? We are twins.

So close for a lot of you guys!! Good luck on your sucky pre op diets, you can do this!

My surgery date is June 20th and its seems like a ways away but I know itll go fast!

Morschle, not morsi hole! Ugh! Autocorrect.

My date is June 19th. So nervous but so ready. Feels like my life is on hold until I can get this surgery done and over with. Ready to be on the looser's bench! Anyone else an RN here?

I can not wait my surgery date is June 12th!!! I wish it were tomorrow but it will be here before I know it! Any one having Dr Watkins at uc west Chester perform your sleeve surgery?

Me!!! Dr Watkins and I are scheduled to have surgery June 10th!

So exciting!! It can not get here fast enough! Let me know how you are doing once you start your liquid diet

I am on the liquid phase of my diet and I have to say this has been quite challenging. I have to stay all liquid until June 3rd for surgery. No one at works seems to understand how hard it is to stop eating solid foods. Some have even been teasing me with food. I know it seems strange but I am having a hard time with this!!!!

Bdo sorry you're going through that! I begin liquids next week and if someone teases me with food they're likely to lose the food...and quite possibly a hand!

I know we are so close, but it still seems so far away. I had the lap band and they now I am being converted to the sleeve, so I have done the liquid diet before. It SUCKS the first few days, but it gets easier. I will be starting mine on Memorial Day. And I will be in the car driving back from North Carolina for 8 of those hours. With three kids in the back seat. Should be interesting to say the least.

Within the last few days, to kind of prepare myself for the liver shrinking diet, I've been cutting waaaaay back on my meats and eating mashed potatoes, shells and cheese and chicken soup.... I don't want it to be a complete shock to my body when I do start...

I think I am going to start doing the same. I hope it keeps me out of "mean mode". The last time I had to do it my best friend pointed out I wasn't exactly pleasant during the first few days. Just remember after 3-4 days you get used to it.
