I'm so excited about my surgery it can't get here soon enough even though it is on my husbands birthday but that's ok he's fine with it and tells me he's so proud of me for taking that step to better my life even though I've ran into a road block, i had my mammogram last Monday and got called back in for retesting and a ultrasound, so now I'm having to have a biopsy on my right Brest Oct. 16th but the Doctor told me not to get to stressed over it that hopefully it's just a cyst, I have to think positive and pray that it's nothing, I'm new to the site so any more Sleevers input would be greatly appreciated!

Luckily for me....thanksgiving food has never been a big thing to me anyway. I enjoy cooking for the peeps that love all that stuff though. I will be on soft foods by then though so I can eat mashed potatoes

Nov 25th here super excited

Nov 14th.... Day 3 of the shakes only pre op. So far so good.

Day number 11 of pre op diet, after first three days it has not been bad, occasional head hunger but for the first time I am starting to like my scale :-)

Nov 20th is mine. I am thrilled but at the same time still a bit shocked that it is only 2 1/2 weeks away!

Morning all. I start tomorrow.

I am scheduled for the 13th! I start a pre-op diet on Thursday. Full liquids and one meal a day. One night in the hospital and one week off of work if all goes well. This is really happening!!!!

I'm scheduled for Nov 13th.

I start my liquid diet on Thursday too. Mine is 4 Protein shakes per day and as many <10 calorie beverages as I want. I go clear liquid on the 11th. My surgery isn't until 2:30, so they said I will likely be in the hospital 2 nights. I go back to work on the 20th.

Sounds like we're in about the same deal!

13th here as well who's your surgeon and what clinic mine is dr valenzuela mi hospital staying at the marriott

I'm struggling with my pre op diet... Surgery November 10th and on liquids ... Feeling hungry

Drink a giant cup of hot tea and look at before and after success stories. Works for me!

I started mine two days early. I just got back off a cruise and felt i ate way too much food. I weighed myself this morning and only gained a pound so i said i would start pre op diet early. Its hard looking at food knowing you can't have it. I then think about how much healthier im going to be and how much im going to enjoy clothes and shoe shopping. We will eventually be able to eat regular food but watching what we eat and the portions that we eat. Surgery November 11.

November 11th for me. I can't wait!

Ok my fellow November sleevers! It's our turn.!!!! YAY!!! Come on let's Gooooo!!!!

Day 4 of the liquid pre op and it's going pretty well. Only had a spoonful of the chili I made for the family on Saturday. No other slip ups. It's amazing how I don't feel hungry, oh , I want foods..but I'm not really hungry. Tough stuff considering I'm the cook for our family and they still gotta eat. I just made a pot of from scratch spaghetti for tonight. I'm staying with the diet. I've loss 8 lbs since Friday and my Liver feels smaller.......lol
