Today is my 48th birthday and I'm in the middle of the 2 week pre-op diet. I've been doing pretty good on the diet so far.

My birthday gift to myself will be 100% adherence to the diet today. My surgery is August 4th. Good luck to all my fellow August Sleevers. We got this!

I am Aug 11th. Today was my first day of the pre-op liquid diet. i am excited and a little nervous. My dr's office is slow so I only have a week before I got back to work. I was hoping for an earlier date. It is just a relief to have a date that is so clase after 6 month of hard work.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Orlando!!! Very excited for you, what a great gift to give to yourself.

My Surgery is Aug 7th, I turn 51 on Aug 25th. Somewhat like you, but my gift to myself will be to stick to the post opt diet.

Day 5 for me on the pre op..... feel like I have turned a corner.

Take care all,

Laura

Hi Everyone !! Getting Sleeved August 4th.

Day 7 of my Pre-op.. Doing Protein Shakes for 2-3 meals.. I have eaten three times this week, but the meals have consisted of Protein, low fat , minimum carbs. ( no funerals :) )

as a snack, I have eaten Non fat cottage cheese with a hand full of blueberries or a non fat greek yogurt if I feel I have to "eat" something.

7 days left.. Loser's Bench... I'm on my way..

Hi Everyone! Just got back from my pre-op. No big deal- Drew blood and did an EKG and sent me in my way. To be honest, when I got my date, I was sooo excited.

Now, after having walked through the hospital, I'm getting nervous. I'm a walking Murphy's Law. In that if anything can go wrong, it will with me or worse, I'll be the lone statistic of this not working.

Don't get me wrong, I'm Not regretting my decision but walking the hospital halls made reality hit me hard and I almost had a second thought of , "is this really necessary?"

But then, as I walked out and caught a glimpse of myself in the window glass, I'm like, "yep- really necessary".

Whew...I suck to my pre-op diet and made it through my birthday without eating cake or drinking alcohol. It was hard. I haven't told anyone besides my wife about my upcoming surgery. So my friends and family put a lot of pressure on me to day. They all meant well.

I made a promise to myself and stuck to it. Good luck to everybody.

I just heard from Cigna I was denied. As I sit here in tears, I was told last Friday that everything was going thru, that I should start the preop diet. Well here I am on day 2 of this DAMN liquid diet and have been told that the doc needs to resubmit paperwork and have a peer to peer review, why do I even try!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
