I know there are several of us on the same day, so I thought I would start a thread for us to keep in touch as we go through the process.

I'm having surgery in Dallas. On day 2 of preop diet. So far, so good. No issues to report.

Check in here if you are scheduled for 9/8! :)

I am also scheduled for Sept 8th I start pre op diet on friday !!

12 days to go !!! Super excited

Is your diet very strict? I feel like mine is pretty easy.

Oh -- I forgot to add that I am having my EGD tomorrow afternoon. Last thing before surgery.

OK September 8th also!!! Yae only 12 days to go. We are doing this!!! I find out next week what time my surgery is and I will start packing for surgery soon. I will have to stay overnight in the surgery center because of my sleep apnea! I have lots of friends supporting me, but you can never have to much support. I am so excited about this that I am telling everyone I know. Originally I thought I would try to keep it a secret, but Im like a child befor Christmas and I cant keep it a secret!!!

My surgery is September 8th as well I live in Denver Colorado

Well, just back from EGD. It was super easy, no big deal at all.

The doc said my reflux is pretty bad. Wondering what my bariatric doc is gonna say about it. I feel strongly that it is very much weight related, as I have gained some weight in the past year and it has really increased.

Oh well, onward!

@@wunnabesexy I feel like I'll eventually want to tell more people but right now I'm keeping it low key, spouse and parents only (all very supportive!). Glad you have a lot of support.

I know there are more 9/8 sleevers, where you at @@HalloweenBaby @@nowornever14 ! :P

My preop diet is for 7 days of Protein shakes then 3 days of Clear liquids only. And I am now very happy as I went shopping at costco today and they now carry Premiere Protein Shakes in

Canada! !! My god, I never thought I would fine a decent shake lol

They taste great and with 30 grams of protein each im prety sure I can easily make the required amount each day!

I think I must be literally the only person on earth that doesn't like the premier shakes. I tried once but it was too thick for me. I do like the EAS which taste really good.

I've been using the GNC Lean Shakes in strawberry, which are really thin. 25 grams Protein, 170 cals.

Is that 7 days with only shakes, no food at all?

Good plan!!

I started my preop on Monday and it's going good-

My surgery is in Lincoln Ne

Oh- I do the premier already made shakes-

I am on liquids for a while now. Only 10 more days until surgery . Countdown. It gets a bit more nerve wrecking with every day I am getting closer.

Yes 7 days only shakes and liquids

I know how you feel. Im getting on a plane next sunday to go for surgery !!!!! Im a nervous wreck lol everytime I remember that this is happening next weekend, I get so excited it finally happening

Not feeling too nervous yet but I am also out of town on a very long (5+ weeks) business trip so I think once I get back home (end of next week) the nerves will kick in.

The shakes/bars are starting to get to me though. Sick of the Protein taste. I don't really feel like I am losing much of anything. Maybe a couple pounds.

Megan I am guessing you are going to Mexico? Is anyone going with or you are going on your own? Either way sounds like an adventure for sure!!

Yes I am going to Mexico, I am going alone my husband and daughter will be staying home. I think it will be an interesting experience lol havent ever been on a trip alone before

Megan I admire you ! Flying there and going through this all alone. Do you know anybody there ? How long will you stay after surgery?
