October 10 for me!

My date is Oct 28th. I'm in North Carolina. Super excited.

Good luck to u to lizzy I have everything but my preop testing done I go for that on the 15th

12 Days remaining October 7th sleevers! Who's excited, me lol! I know it's quite a few of us. Second day on pre-op diet (low-carb), it's going well for me. My husband is also participating with me on the diet , he's a great support. How's everyone else doing on pre-op?

I just had to put in my leave absence from work today. It just got real. The surgery is exactly 7 days away. I cried a lot and had a slight panic attack. I pulled it together and wrote up ny advance directive and made sure my beneficiaries were up to date. There is so much to do.

@spelmanite10. I know your head is spinning right about now. I believe crying is very normal for some. Good job on getting things in order. However, I am choosing to believe that everything will work out just fine.

take a moment to just inhale slowly and exhale, breathe my friend breathe.

Yay! October 6th for me, is pre op diet is killing me though.

Me too. Lol. Same day and the diet is a lot.

I asked for a day off for my preop class and upper gi and they didn't want to give me time off. Asked me to post pone if I could. They are not going to be happy when I tell them I will be out two weeks. This is why I can't tell them it's for weight loss.

Hello everyone, third day on pre-op. I've suffered with major headaches today I'm assuming it's due to my diet not really sure. I'm pressing forward, right now all I want to do is sleep for the next 11 days . October 7th sleevers 11 days remaining (first time I've smiled this afternoon ). I'm hoping I feel a little better tomorrow. Hang in everyone, we can do this!

I like how you worded that. I think liver reduction diet sounds better than liquid diet. I may use that since I start mine tomorrow morning. Going out tonight with friends to say goodbye to the old me.
