Hey! My name is Jackie. My surgery is scheduled April 2 and in super nervous! It would be really cool to find someone to share this journey with.

I agree on the fast yet slow analogy. Lately I find it hard to sleep and anxious about the surgery it's almost as it's consuming every inch of my brain lol.

Hi ladies i am 4/14 ... Getting close ... Wish i could figure this site out a lil better.. I hope we can keep in touch and help support each other ... Going to be a life changing month for us all !!!!

Thanks for posting! You're right! An exciting month for lots of us! I agree that this site is hard to navigate...especially from my phone which I use about 95% of the time! Best of luck with your surgery, and stay in touch. Mine is a week from this Thursday, on 4/3. Eeeek!!

Hey there. I'm in the Atlanta area and not allowed any veggie during pre op diet. Full liquids only. Being in Canada do u have a portion u pay or being a universal healthcare system it's 100% covered?

I'm very lucky that I don't have to do a liquid diet pre-op. My surgeon just has me doing the Atkins induction phase diet (high protein and 20 carbs per day). It hasn't been bad at all so far and I think it's getting me trained on how the eating should go after the surgery. What about you?

My pre/ post op diet is milk with protein .... Pudding , strained soup, and yogurt... ... And i can gave cream of wheat in am ... Really nit too bad

Hello Curvy and other April surgery gals!

I am in Canada, but the system here is VERY difficult to get paid surgery unless you are very morbidly obese with health issues.... I have a BMI of 39, but do not have any health issues except knee problems, so I will be a self pay in Mexico.

It is so interesting to me about all the pre-op diets! It would be interesting to do a correlation of what pre-op leads to the best post surgical outcomes...etc.... As well as best liver shrinkage.

I think it is important to not be a carb and sugar burning mode just before going on what is like a modified fast post surgery..... Probably best to be burning our fatty tissue already....so good motivation to stay strict .

I'm in canada too. Having mine April 9th in edmonton. Day 5 of pre-op fluids down.

Mine is April 7 in Mississippi I would like be your buddy too!

HELLO Everyone.. I am sure all our emotions together could fuel a car.. I am so excited.. but I am also overwhelmed with all I want to get done prior to the big day.. I know it will get done.. but my mind is going crazy ..

I hope liquids are going well. One day closer. !

I find it hard to focus at work and I still have 2 weeks to go!

I agree.. Not sure what you do.. but I am a special education teacher.. So the work is only piling up.. I have progress report due on Friday. and I need to get them done.. I keep reminding myself. it will all come together.. just continue to believe! and I will achieve all I am working for!
