Happy Sleeve Day to you! All the best tomorrow. I go tomorrow for pre-testing I'm nervous they will find something and surgery gets cancelled.

You will do great. I am a day behind you.

July 25th. :)

July 19th. Time to get back in gear. Fell off the wagon but I have to get back to eating healthy for the next 17 days. SOOO EXCITED!

My sleeve surgery is Monday 7/8 (the day after my Bday).... Very nervous. I know this will vastly improve my life, but it's scary! My husband supports me, but I find that if I mention bariatric surgery to others, they freak out. I've resolved to not mention the surgery to anyone else.

i am scheduled for july 12th. i am excited and terrified at the same time.

Mine is the 12th in Brisbane - good luck :-)

Tell me about what u could n couldnt have pre-op... ive noticed a diverse range of ore-op diets here n justcwant to kno if all aussie surgeries r the same ??

My date is also the 9th! Congrats and good luck! :)

mine too! i have to do a 48 hr liquid preop diet, but thats it. how has your journey been so far?

Hope the July 1, 2, and 3 sleevers are resting well. I bet the July 5th sleevers are ready to go.. I can feel excitement!

Enjoy your holiday.

My surgeon requires a 2 week liquid diet so ive been on it since June 24th!! ....Im sooo over it especially since its the 4th and everyone will be eating and drinking!! However I know it will be all worth it in the end!! :)

the staff told me some people need to shrink their livers before surgery. to make it easier to get to the stomach. hence the 2 week liquid diet. depends on how much you weigh and your liver chemistry blood tests. and of course the doctor.

i just have to do a liquid diet for 24 hours before surgery. everytime i get antsy about it, i think about my friend's H who did a 40 day juice fast! lol

July 30 is my surgery date. Nervous and excited at the same time.

My pre-op diet isn't that bad. I'm allowed one solid meal a day for two weeks. The other two meals are protein shakes. Two days before the surgery, though, I have to start a liquid diet.

I'm no longer part of the July sleevers:( my surgery got rescheduled to August 28th. I'm so upset right now, I was so close to July 16th.
