I'm getting sleeved the 23rd also! I'm so excited to have so many lovely people to go through this journey with!

Hi! I'm scheduled for April 20th and 1 week into my pre-op liquid diet. I'm so excited!! Congrats to everyone going on this journey as well!

Haha I completely understand! I was the same way about the certain thing. Lol. My date is the 20th and I'm on day 2 of the liquid diet. Good luck with everything!

How are you doing? I'm finding the liquids to not be too bad!

4/16. No preoperative diet. Scared, nervous, excited.

Mine is 4/16! I have no preop diet either....and same!

So, I had my preop appointment on Friday, and the doctor said nothing special for preop, just nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before. I'm diabetic, so must eat a light meal before bed. I know like almost everybody has a preop diet. But I should listen to my doctor, right??? I got all the tests run, got my body wash for the three day wash prep. Now I wait. Four more days!

You can do it! You should definitely listen to your doctor. Everyone's doctor had different requirements. You'll do great! :-)

I sure hope so! My doctor actually told me that too "you'll do great!"

HI! Im new to the group and I got my surgery date today! April 23!! Started my diet today and the ladies at GNC talked me into buying ISOPURE protein drinks and they are SO gross!!

Any suggestions on what actually tastes good?!

Got my survey time today and it's not until 11! Grrr I'm going to be a cranky ball of nerves!!!

Surgery date 04/20/2015! Been on pre-op diet for 8 days now. Not to hard. Had an EKG on the 9th of April at the Hospital I am having surgery. My primary Dr. called this a.m. to tell me there was some concerns with my EKG and wants me to have an echo-cardiogram (ultra sound) because with out this he will not release me for surgery. He could not be sure if he could get me scheduled for this in time before my surgery date. I cried when I got of the phone. This just one of the reasons to have this surgery is to be healthy, now my heart! Anybody else have issues with physical before surgery?

Hi,

This is my first post. I have been lurking for a few weeks. I will be getting sleeved on April 21!!! One week from today!!! I am very excited. I am from Louisiana and my Doctor is Dr. Rachel Moore. This Forum has answered a lot of my questions.

I'm getting sleeved on April 27th and I'm on day two of my liquid diet. I'm soooo excited. It's crazy, I can't believe it's really happening. ????
