I thought I would kick off the fun for August Sleevers! So here we go!!

I am scheduled for Monday August 19th! Let the countdown begin!!

I'm August 27. Only required to pre-op for one week but I'll probably start the week before trying to reduce carbs and avoid sugar. Not going to enjoy the pre-op phase, never been able to find a protein product (shakes or bars) that I like.

I'm the 27th too.. where are you having yours done?

Notlookinback -- I'm going to Mexico. Tijuana, with Dr. Garcia. This is so out of character for me my whole family is stymied, but I've made my decision. Here we go! We will have to keep an eye on each other!

Hi just joined the group... I'm on for August 27th! Transformation here I come.

I'm on the 27th at Forest Park in Dallas. Dr Davidson.

I start my pre-op low carb diet tomorrow, I am really freaking out. I hope I am making the right choice. Anybody else doing this? I was so sure that this was the best thing for my health and now I am doubting. The few people I have told have told me that I don't look "fat enough" to mutilate my body, even my own NUT asked if I still wanted to do this since I lost 15 lbs since May. I have never had surgery, and I am scared. I also wonder if I am really scared or scared of the disapproval that I know I will receive. Of course my shrink is out of the office and the bariatric one I saw prior to surgery authorization is 3 hours away...

You can do it! If you must get sugar free Jello. And lots of Popsicle sugar free of course.. Ooh only see through Jello not pudding! You are already done, you just don't know it! Way to go, and keep up the good work!

Start my pre-op diet tomorrow after my pre-op testing, surgery is August 19th. I'm so nervous and my anxiety is so high. Seriously! I worked so hard for the approval but I'm scared now. The unknown is so hard on me. Anyways, good luck to my fellow August sleevers, and speedy recovery for those who recently had their surgery!

My surgery is Monday' date=' August 5th. Getting a little nervous as it gets closer!![/quote']

Wishing you the best!

I just had some SF jello and feel better now. Thank you for the encouragement. I am almost there, just a few days.

Feeling ok today! Only 4days preop and I am doing good! Worst part of this entire experience....getting the drain tube out!!! Omg! That was absolutely terrible! Other then that....it's been a breeze! Thought tis would be way way worse....of course you have head hunger but that is mind over matter and with great support you will get through! All the aug 5th folks are in my thoughts and prayers! You got this!!!!
