Anyone else scheduled in October? Let's stay in touch during this process!

I have to take one more informational class. Have an EGD done and do a 2 week liquid only diet.

During the the diet I have to drink the doctor's Protein drinks. Hope they are good!

I'm October 7th! Had all my pre-op testing done today. On day 4 of my all liquid diet. One more appointment with the surgeon next week! I'm excited, but have my moments of extreme nervousness. Look forward to following you all on your journey!

How are you feeling on your diet? I'm on day 2, and I've heard it's pretty miserable by day 3-4.

4 days left till it's October!! Congrats to all and good luck on your pre op diets! ????????

My surgery is October 1st. I have been on a liquid diet diet since September 20th. 80 grams of protein a day. Water, crystal lite, broth and thats it. Pretty unpleasant overall. My journey from consult to finish took 9 months. So I am way excited to get this overwith!

Got my date today. October 13. Diet starts Monday. Can't believe this is actually happening!

I just finished day 3 and it really has been surprisingly not as bad as I thought it would. But it might just be a mind set. And I love making different smoothie drinks.

I am scheduled for October 16...

For me, the hardest was 1-3 days. By yesterday, I felt like I got bearings and today I feel less hungry ALL the time. It's by no means enjoyable at this point, but it's more managable. I just keep thinking that every day down, is another closer to it being over.

I am scheduled for Oct 6th Nervous but excited. Mentally thinking of all the food I love as I consume it now. After the 6th, food will not be a priority and cannot be used as emotional crutch anymore. Lots of emotions thinking about saying good bye.

I have been looking at these threads daily for over a month and never made one single post until I knew my journey had its definite destination. I'm being sleeved 10/10 and I'm the only 2 emotions I feel alternate between excitement and nervousness ????

Awesome. You're my sleeve buddy by default lol

Hi October sleevers! Was bummed for a bit my surgery was postponed to the 14th but over it. I'm actually getting beyond my hopefully irrational fear that something will happen during surgery and getting excited for it. I'm only required to do liquids for 1 week before, but I think I'm going to start a partial one this week. Maybe mostly liquids but maybe some yogurt and something light for dinner. Kinda break into it before that's all I can actually eat. I ordered a couple different sample packs of Protein so hopefully that will get here soon so I can try it. How's everyone holding up??

. I feel the same way excitement and nervousness.

This is a long thread but I'll just jump in here. I'm having my sleeve on Oct 1st, 4 days away! I've been working towards this for almost a year, been doing a 10 day mostly liquid diet and everything been ok but I was reading over stuff the surgeon gave me, post op surgery stuff and I'm getting a little nervous.

I think it makes me more nervous since this is an elective surgery. Making myself go thru all this pain. Maybe just too much time to think.

My surgery is scheduled for october 20th and I can't wait! I start the pre-op diet tomorrow...just have my sleep study to complete on Monday.

Good luck to all you!
