July 3rd here!! 1 day liquid diet and I'm not packed to go to the hospital... I haven't purchased my vitamins or protein shakes!!! Are u guys ready!!

You were right! I had to call them myself' date=' but I am booked for 1030am tomorrow morning! Eeek!

Made it through the day on clear liquids while everyone else enjoyed barbecue, booze and dessert. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, still had fun, even without food![/quote']

Sweet! All the best today with surgery.

Woo Hoo! Surgery scheduled for July 31. I know it will be here sooner than I think.

I'm scheduled for July 16. I have my pre-surgery appointment on July 11 with my surgeon. I'm a little worried that he may postphone the surgery because I haven't lost any weight the preceding three months. I started at 248 and they said I had to lose 12.5 pds, which I did not do. My surgeron only requires a four day clear liquid diet prior to surgery, so i should drop a couple of pds. then. Please all July sleevers keep your fingers crossed that my surgeon goes through with my July 16 date......

July 24th for me to. I go to my Pre Op nutrition class at 1:00 and see the doc at 3:30. I cant beilieve that it is finally going to happen!!! I am so ready for this. I have been doing nothing but reading, studying and thinking about my sleeve since February. I know in my heart that this is the right thing and I really hope that I will be able to help my wife around the house and make live alot easier on her. I want her quality of life to improve also.

July 9th for me, only days to go!

You have some time. Try Slimfast for the time being. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. If all goes well I can have 5 shakes a day to meet my 1000 calorie diet for 13 days. The last day is clear liquids.

Try it until you meet with the doctor. It may work for 3 days.

Happy Sleeve Day to all those going in tomorrow. You are on our minds as you progress to the losers bench tomorrow.

Hi Patti K, I'm in Cincinnati. My surgery will be with Dr Brad Watkins at West Chester medical Center. Good luck to you. How many days is your pre-op diet? Mine is 14 days. Nervous, but excited.

My surgery is the 15th. I have no idea of what I need! Stressing out just a bit lol

My surgery is the 15th too.... I'm so nervous I can't even tell you! Tomorrow will be day 3 of my liquid diet, its not too bad. I go for my pre surgical testing on Monday morning and my pre op medical clearance Monday afternoon. I can't believe my surgery is 7 days away.....

My surgeon said 2 weeks minimum, 3 weeks better, 4 weeks best. I started a 2 day trial before the fourth but I ate on the fourth. Started right up again on the 5th. Actually, it has been surprisingly easy. I have sat and watche my niece eat at the mall while I had a smoothie and watched my bf and his nephew eat at McD's and I had liquids only. The smells are more intense and I am dreaming that I am pigging out, no utensils, shoving food in my face at buffets. But the beauty there is I wake up and I lost 3 pounds! Lol. Dream eating contains no calories. If u wanna friend me on here that is cool or I am perkinspatti on fb. It's nice to have people close to go through this with. I don't know anyone personaly, only heard about friends of friends and stuff...
