Hey Everyone!

My name is Katarina, I'm 26 and I live in Minnesota! Just met with my surgeon today to schedule my VSG! I chose Tuesday, September 2nd, the day after Labor Day! My pre-op liquid diet starts Saturday, August 23rd. Wondering if anyone else is having surgery on or around this date? I would LOVE to have a surgery buddy! Someone who is going through what I am, when I am, so we can help each other out! Also, if anyone has an Instagram, my user name is liberianne_gal. I follow tons of amazing men and women who have went through Weight Loss Surgery and have fantastic stories! Can't wait to create my own!

Hope to talk to some of you soon!

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.

@@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!

I only cheated Friday had pizza I was so hungry but I haven't cheated since and it's day 5. Otherwise been good date is the 10th I got this.

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.

Hang in there Steve! You can do this!

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.
