Since there seem to be quite a few of us now, I thought we should have our own place to talk. I start my preop diet tomorrow. I get 1 meal of meat and veggies, 2 shakes and unlimited jello. Is anyone else just on liquids?

Ok October 2nders! One week away! Who's getting nervous /excited? My preop has gone better than I expected. My work had to adjust my break schedule a tiny bit so I could eat at different times cause I was getting 'hangry' lol. I work at a afb taco bell, so all the good smells weren't helping. Now everything smells weird to me.

Just think, some of us will be waking up from surgery this time next week!

Lol, I keep thinking it's Wednesday, Damnit

My pre-op diet is going well too. I am only on low carb diet. I have lost about 6 pounds so far. I'm pretty happy with that. I know you liquid pre-op-ers will shatter that! Can't wait! just 6 days until my pre-op. I have a swarm of butterflies in my stomach constantly though

Oct 2nd is Soo close! I'm getting excited - went grocery shopping today.. I need to still pick up Sublingual B12 and Bariatric Advantage Multivitamins and I think I'm ready.

I'm getting very nervous. I've not had surgery before so I've been thinking can I just live with this weight. Ugh!

Feeling so much better today! Very nervous still, but my husband gave me that calmness I needed last night. He also told me to stop watching the you tube video of the procedure. Has anyone else seen that? 7 days from today.

A week away and I am so excited! My surgeon only has a preop diet 2 days prior to surgery. My birthday is Sunday so I am going to enjoy it to the fullest before I start my liquid diet. So ready for this journey and glad there are others on my day. Where is everyone from? I am from Charleston, WV, having my surgery in Huntington, WV.

Mine is October 2nd also, pre-op the day before. Super excited and wish these few days will fly by!!! Good luck everyone.... Just think, this time next week...... We will all be sleeved!!!! Wow! Can't wait ????

I have lost 12lbs as of 9/25.

I start 48 hours liquid diet on Sunday, surg tuesday

No preop diet since I was fast tracked to surgery. Anyone heard how awful post op co2 gas was. I had it after gallbladder & it hurt for 3 days, no incision pain, awful co2 dissipating into skin and shoulder. Miserable. People say oh walk it off. It's not that kind of gas, that suggestion is useless. I looked at sev other surgical sites, no recs.

Started liquid diet today not too bad. Surgery date 0ct 8.
