After almost a year of twists, turns, and frustrations, I was approved and given a date. I am having surgery on July 23rd and I can't wait!!! To all those slogging through this process and jumping through hoops, keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Any other July 23rd sleevers?

Cmt' date=' my pre-op is similar. I get 2shakes a day and 1meat/veggie meal. That's for 2 weeks prior. I'm having some anxiety about it, but I will do what I have to do. You are a day ahead of me, so you are the guinea pig:). Lol. I'm glad for the support we can be for each other. I don't know about others, but I think my family gets worn out hearing about it:)[/quote']

I'm having anxiety about it also. I'm trying to prepare for it by swapping out some meals with the Protein shakes and I have been trying to be as positive as possible. I hear the first 3 days are the worst .

I've heard that too. I think I've decided to schedule a massage for day 2 or 3 as a non food reward. It will give me something to look forward to.

my date is July 29 I'm happy and nervous at the same time

Dee, welcome to the end of July sleevers club. I can't wait until august/september when we start talking about how much we have lost;). We will be the up and coming hotties on the losers bench. I've never wanted to be a loser so badly:)
