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!!

Doing good! I've only took a bite of something once but I actually don't mind the shakes right now. Where are you from? Kentucky here m

I am right outside Grand Rapids, MI. Amazingly I have not cheated one iota--yet! I like seeing the scale go down. But I have very little energy by the end of the day!!

Well' date=' tomorrow is the big day and I get to be the first patient of the day for my Dr. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am. I am so ready to start this new chapter of life. Yes there has been nerves and second guessing but in the end, I know I am making the right choice. I have lost around 23 pounds during my pre op diet and I am slowly starting to feel a difference already. All my chores are done, yard is mowed and I have made arrangements for someone to mow for me next week. Now it is time to sit back, relax, enjoy some lime Jello, chicken broth and water (I am on clear liquids only today), and get ready. Good luck to all my August 19th surgery mates! I hope and pray that we all have flawless procedures followed by minimal pain and discomfort! Speedy recovery to everyone. Now bring it on!!![/quote']

Good luck to u...my day is Tuesday...and I'm getting nervous...my pre-op diet has been going pretty good no BIG cheats but almost my last day and my stomach started growling.... So just praying I get through these next two days...

Yes! Day 4 and nothing :/

Day 5 and nothing. But there's nothing there - it's all liquids.

I'm on day 2 of the diet but I have to go 7 days of 3 protein shakes and 1 frozen entree but it has to be between 300-400 cals, then 3 days if clear liquids and my surgery is 27th
