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?

Just one thing ........ Optifast ..... thats it . 4 shakes a day starting at 7 or 8 a.m. and every 4 hrs till my 4th one is gone. 2 weeks behind me and 1 week still to go. It is not that difficult.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
