Hello. Anyone with the same or close surgery date wanna go through it together, share experience on here?

July 16th!!

Yeah my first surgery buddy!! Happy. when do you have to start your pre surgery diet?

My doctor said I only need to do 1 week on liquids but I feel as if u should do a little more. So I was going to start on the 6th.

HBU?!

Mine is a 2 week thing but it has some solid foods I think 3 shakes and 1 small meal.

Hey surgery buddies mine is July 13th and I start the pre op diet on June 29th! I am sooo excited and terrified at the same time!!! What are your worst fears? Mine are definitely that I won't stay on track after surgery and the pre op diet! ????

Hey girl! I am starting my pre-op on July 5th (gotta have 1 more hotdog for the 4th lol). I think my biggest fear is post-op eating. I have my nutrition guide and everything but I don't want to eat the wrong stuff and fail. I think because I am Cash Pay and if I don't loose the weight I want to it's like 15,000 down the drain.

I'm having r and y July 13! Getting excited!

I am scheduled for July 15. I only have clear liquids the day before surgery. I am really nervous and am fighting off second thoughts. I still have a cardiac clearance on Monday to get through but everything else has been completed. I am self paying because our insurance does not cover any weight loss surgery.

@@Hengirl I'm the 16th & cash pay as well. Where are you getting your surgery at?

I feel your pain! It's like I posted this myself. The fear is real!

@heatgerrc1 - are you cash pay as well?

@heatgerrc1 - are you cash pay as well?

@nikkiblueeyes yes, I sure am. I am in Middle Tennessee and mine is $12k. I could probably have paid for this with the money I spent on yo-yo dieting and trying every new plan on the market. Grrrr! I'm thinking about per pound the cost and I sure don't want to screw this up!

I was looking at a center in Tennessee but my family was concerned about the traveling from New Jersey. I was happy to find a place in New Jersey that offered cash pay at a decent rate $15,000. My goal is to be down 145 lbs so it's $103 per pond lol

I can understand their concerns. My original date my husband was out of town and I was going to count on a family member and that was scary... I can't imagine be away from home that far! Yep, bout a $102 a pound... Whew!! And to think how excited I get when chicken breast is on sale for $3 a pound... Lol

So lucky when you dont have the 2 week pre surgery diet. I only stick to it cause I really want the surgery. Excited to see how we all do. I think if we really stick to the diet after surgery we will get used to it. Also less hunger. WE can help each other too...
