Im September 16th....I havent been in hospital for 22 years to the date and that was for the birth of my twin boys who were born 09/16/91.

This surgery will also be a life changing experience for me!!

my date is September 20.

Keep me posted as to how it goes! When do you start the preop liquid diet?

I am Sept 23 as well! Had my last pre op appt today. When the nurse weighed me she said "this is the last time you will weigh this much". Wow' date=' I can hardly imagine.

I start 2 week liquids on Monday - I get 3 oz of Lean protein twice in the two weeks and all the non starchy veg I want. I am going to make a pot of WW 0 point veg soup and eat that in addition to my protein shakes. It tastes really good and is filling.[/quote']

My diet starts on the 18th. But I'm thinking of maybe starting on the 16th. I can have one protein shake a day if it gets really bad. I've never heard of the WW 0 point soup. I'll google it I need recipes!

I'm scheduled for Sept 18th .. I'm on my second full day of the pre op diet.. I want food!! Lol

How are you feeling? Is it as bad as you imagined it?

The pre-op diet? It's not bad but I'm on it for 2 weeks.. it's only day 2 and I'm trying to find ways to have vegetables Lol.. I'm used to some rice or noodles or shrimp in there! I guess I just have to get used to it... After surgery will be worse

Thanks for the support, I guess the reason I feel like I am second guessing myself I will only have 10 day off from work. Then work two weeks and fly out to Las Vega for my daughters wedding. From what I have read and heard, you are not able to eat much at all I have not told anyone about me getting surgery. I don't want others to know what I am doing. My doctor told said "what are you going to tell your co-worker and family when they notice your weight lost"?

When I had my lapband and lost 80 lbs, I didnt tell most co-workers and many family members for the first 7-8 months, then I didnt care!!
