Hi everyone. My name is Steve I am scheduled for my sleeve on September 15 I am in NYC. I am beginning my pre-op diet although my doctor told me it is not necessary but I figured every pound I lose now is one less on the back end. It is starting to feel very real and I am beginning to feel the stress. I have been starting to have panic attacks as work is very crazy and I feel the stress of having everything done before my surgery. This is a very big life changing event and it is bit going to easy and I truly have no idea how thus it going to work out

Hi, Steve! I'm Debbie and have my surgery 9/15 in Nashville. The surgery is a big event for us and it is exciting thinking about the great changes in store. I cannot wait to start this new journey. Try not to worry too much about work. You can only do so much in a day. Good luck in your journey. You'll do great.

My surgery is scheduled for the 5th of September. I'm nervous and excited. The liquid diet is super hard. I have let 10 lbs already. I have had a couple meals while my husband was on business meetings. Although it would be easy to order anything while out I'm keeping to Soup and salad...it is not optifast.....in the week and half I've been on the liquid diet I've done this three times. I'm nervous that I've sabotaged my surgery but think it will be okay because I'm an still losing weight. I asked my husband not to invite me anymore so that while I'm home I can stick to the Optifast.< /p>

@@madamro don't do this from now in we were told that we have to stick to liquids for sure for the last week before they want the digestive tract to be as empty as can be. Some surgeons are so strict they have sent patrons back home if they did not stick to the liquids for the last week. So I am only liquid till my date at the 8th.

Good luck and all will be fine just don't slip anymore

My surgery will be September 15th. Not nervous yet, but trying out the post-op diet to see how it goes. I am in San Diego and have chosen to go to Tijuana for

Our surgery dates are close. Mines is the 19th. How are you feeling? You started your Preop diet yet?

I have started the pre-op diet. I "lost" 2 pounds of Water weight yesterday -would be nice if it all would be that easy. I am excited to actually be doing something to be ready and not just waiting.

I'm not very concerned about the surgery itself so no cold feet (yet). Mostly happy it is almost here. Good luck to,you!

My surgery is on the September 17th, and I do not have a pre-op diet just nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before the surgery.

My date is the 19th. So I will be right behind you.

Does anyone with a 09/25 date have to do a preop liquid diet? Mine begins on 09/11. For those already on liquid diets what are you having?

      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...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
