Hello all! I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months, thank you all for the great advice and sharing your experiences. It's been very helpful and informative! I met with the surgeon a week ago today, my surgery date is June 26. Anyone else for June?

Woohoo! June 26th!

Yamaha..I have been on the site quite a bit today. Its all recalling hitting me now that I have the date set. I'm so nervous but excited to move on. How are feeling so far?

Well I ~think~ I'm done freaking out and now I'm just ready. When I first got my date I freaked out big time. How are u feeling?

Nice so are u on the liquid diet

I start on Sunday - for whatever reason my surgeon requires 10 days... And so it begins

Hi june crew! ...I'm feeling like the 26th is sooooo far away...anyone else having minor fears creeping in?

Don't get me wrong im definitely going through with it ... just looking to hear if anyone else is experiencing this as you get closer to your date?

My op date is june 10th and i'm starting to freak out a little too, its the whole general thing that frightens me, I've had operations before and come out the other end but never at this weight and its worrying me a lot!

I'm have to do a 10 day pre op diet too, my diet list consists of milk, yoghurt, sugar free jelly and unlimited fluids with milk counted from my allowance. Yum lol

Milk and yogurt!! I'm jealous I only get clear liquids: broth, sf popsicles, h2o, and the protein shakes.. but that's only 5 days before..Ive already started switching out breakfast and lunch for protein shakes though.. next week I'll be weening myself off caffeine...getting ready mentally I guess..i figure baby steps will be easier then cold turkey:)

Previous poster, i too get nervous. I question whether I'm doing the right thing. I mean- this will probably get rid of my diabetes, hypertension, and cure my addictive eating issues. I will likely not develop a host of other issues, and I'll probably live a longer life if I am able to get to a normal weight.

On the other hand, what if something goes wrong? I die and leave my three year old and seven month old without a mother? I've read stories of people ending up hospitalized for months with sepsis or leaks... Then I can't work and provide food and shelter for those babies?

Obviously the chances of that are very slim, so I will forge ahead. But they are definitely concerns that scare me.

I'm also anxious to go through the breakup with food. I know that is going to be a hard process.

So I choose to not think of those things when they pop into my head. I am doing this and life will be so much better. Only positive outcomes can happen!

I started mines 2day my surgeon want u to Do it for 14 days but he only called me Thursdays to tell me the date Which I was not mentally prepared to start so soon,the Next day to be exact so only 12 days for me

Met with my surgeon today for my pre op. will be starting my liquid diet on 6/3. I think I wanna start it sooner than that.

I start pre-op on the 3rd too! Yes! I'm an over achiever too! I started shakes in the AM. Monday I'll start shakes in the AM and PM. Then on the third I'll transition to full liquids.

SlimDreams, my date is 3rd june and I'm kinda having fears of "am i doing the right thing?" "Will I regret this op?" "Will I be happy with the amount of food?" Etc etc.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one having little fears!!!

But in the long run I know this is the best thing for me and I'll be fine

I just got my date today....June 13th! but i am seeing alot of liquid diets, my doctor told me that i only have to do the liquids the day before surgery He said it was because i already have lost a good amount of weight (over the 10% they requested) so my liver should have shrunk enough already. Now that i have my date, I got that feeling you get when you are getting on a big roller coaster for the first time

I guess I'll be leaving this group. Dr called yesterday and moved my surgery from June 7th to May 28th. Excited and scared.
