Hi everyone! I'm a few weeks from my gastric sleeve surgery. My date is Sept 10th..(fingers crossed) I have been doing a lot of research as for what I need to buy for my liquid diet and ideas to make my shakes taste better. I already have my list for what Im bringing to the hospital. I feel like I'm missing something. Any ideas? Ive yet to buy my multi vitamins and my calcium chews. My next appt I will need to buy my shakes and begin my liquid diet. I would love to have some friends who are taking the same journey as me..someone who can relate..thanks in advance!!xoxo

I'm in Sept 23rd. Now I have to begin the diet and pre testing.

Hi everyone!! I'm Sept 10 also... I'm sooo excited.. I'll be at Kaiser West LA

Good luck everyone :-)

Alright a lot of September 10th..how awesome is that?!! Were getting close guys!

September 23rd for me, in Overland Park, KS. Seems like everything is happening so fast. I get a little nervous if I spend time and start thinking about it. I have 4 kids so that is constantly on my mind (what if I am the 1%). I try not to think that way though, try to stay more positive. All in all the wife is being really supportive and looking forward to the new me!!!

Congratulations! My surgery is on the 11th. It's great to have wives that support our decision and I am thankful that mine also supports me. Good luck.

Just remember how you got to this point, change is scary, but it's a good thing. It'll be worth it in the end.

Good luck!! I have to start my pre-op on the 5th.

I start my pre op on the 5th as well. Started the liquid diet yesterday so far so good.

Hi all September 19th here NJ... Good luck to all

Sept 3. Is my surg in 3days getting nervous ! Good luck to everyone in there new journeys! Xo

Yay congratulations! Good luck!

Is it in the US?

Since I just got my surgery date yesterday I wasn't nervous before...too hyper focused on getting the approval. I had a twinge of fear /anxiety last night then just told myself to remember all the increased risks and shorter lifespan associated with being overweight that I learned about in the info session and it helped put it back in perspective.

Im starting to get really nervous about certain parts of the surgery & healing now that I'm only a week away. Doing great on my pre-op diet. Had a cpl lil slip ups. Oops I did lose almost 10lbs in my first 4 days. Yay!!!!
