I'm having my surgery at Virtua hospital in Lumberton, NJ by Dr. Boynton. Anyone having surgery on June 25th or even in New Jersey.

Omg guys it's our last weekend b4 our surgery! It's the home stretch now how's every1 doing???

I'm a bit depressed. Haven't been on the scale for a week and I jumped on this morning to check how my pre-op diet was doing for me and I was 2 pounds up! Discouraging . I have been so good, high Protein, low carb, plus my shakes, under 1000 cals a day, just as prescribed. Makes me wonder if I will be able to lose with surgery?!

On the other hand, it's hard to believe its almost here! Mine is early Tuesday morning. I keep thinking the hospital will call and say they have to delay, I need more clearances, etc.... I'm just being paranoid, I guess. Trying to keep up a positive face . Good luck to everyone this week!

My emotions have been all over the place the past week or so. It's a good thing I work from home otherwise my coworkers would probably want to kill me. My doc told me that people generally loose between 7-20 pounds on the pre-op diet and they can tell by the size of the liver who followed the plan. I'll be honest...I haven't stuck strickly to the liquids...not that I was hungry...just thought I was. Of course, that is one reason why I am on this path...right?! I know I am making the right decision, but I am getting really nervous...I'm prone to panic attacks and I'm afraid that as the morning of surgery approaches I will have a full blown panic attack and freak out. I am excited though to think that after almost a year of trying to decide if I really wanted to do this...all the clearances...and all of the tests...Tuesday will be here before we know it!!

So excited! I feel the same like I will get a call telling me I need to do something else lol not sue what more I could do though! Not too long now...

Wicked nervous here! I have -no- doubts in my mind about the surgery and it being the right thing for me. But the build up to the "big day" is KILLING ME!

I don't have to check in the hospital till 1pm on Tuesday. Surgery isn't till 3. I'm so eager to just get it done with already!!! <3

Oh my! What is the last time you can take in liquids or food depending in your instructions?

Clear Liquids up till 10am... No food past midnight the night before. The food isn't an issue for me, but the liquids.... on a 95 degree day in Boston... will be tough!

(But OH SO WORTH IT!)

No nerves at all here. I'm SO EXCITED and soooo ready. I don't know where my nerves went but I'm glad they're gone!!

I was thinking they would say no liquids past 10pm that would be crazy!

I've been thinking of food non stop today! I decided to tell my hubby and son that I'm going to bed. I feel like torture and want to eat soooo bad! I've been doing low carbs the past two weeks and as of today I've lost only 4 lbs.! I'm really scared for the first couple weeks post op. I've also been really on edge. Having such weird feelings right now. Thank goodness for this website!!!I get sleeve June 24th Monday at 5:30am. I'm the first one for the day!

I'm a June 25ther also...in Kansas City. Can't wait!

I am on the 25th in Kansas City too!!! I haven't seen anyone else from here let alone the same day!! Where are you having yours done?

June 25th for me as well! I'm in Boston. But unlike a lot of people here I didn't have to do a liquid diet pre-surgery... Is that abnormal???

I didn't have a liquid diet either. My surgeon said that if you were under a bmi of 50 then we had to do a lean Protein, brown rice, and a vegetable. Also, 64oz of Water and 2 Protein shakes a day.
