I just got my date today, i'm scheduled for September 21 :D I have been on a three month supervised diet and lost about 9 pounds. I start my liquid diet 9/7. I'm so excited but I am also so nervous!

I'm on my 2 week low carb diet. I don't have to do a liquid diet before the surgery. But I've already lost 7lbs and my blood pressure is down. Cannot wait until Sept 3!

Day 3 of my pre-op diet. Not too bad. I have a dull headache, but I'm guessing that could be from no caffeine. Most difficult for me is downing all of the Vitamins my doctor requires. Can't imagine how I'll get them down post-op, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Right now I am focused, motivated and excited! Following this thread has been a big help in keeping me there! We Will Do This!

My surgery is set for September 8, and my doctor said just a 5 day liquid diet is all he needs. And he doesn't require the clear liquid either. Interesting how each surgeon requires different diets.

true because my dr doesn't require me to do a pre op liquid or any kind of diet only after surgery

Just wanted to check in again. All us September sleepers are getting super close. It's been a long journey and in so excited to just have it done. I'm thankful for the conversations we all have on here as I don't have much support at home. Well let's stay excited! September 23rd 3 days after my birthday and my greatest present to myself by far!!!!

A great gift for sure!!! If you aren't already in our FB group I highly recommend it! We have a great group of about 40 people now! But we are right here too!

How do you join the Facebook page and is it private. Thanks

Hello all

Well September is now knocking at our door. With all the appointments, phone calls and nail biting waiting for insurance approval it seemed to take forever to get here. Good luck to all of us.

I was called today with a surgery date of September 21st - very excited! My insurance is AvMed, I was surprised it only took 2 weeks to get approved.

Tomorrow is the big day! I was stressed about the Milk of Magnesia dose, but I got the cherry flavor, and it wasn't that bad. OTOH, I was driving back from errands when it kicked in. I was like, "Please let there be no traffic! Please no traffic!" and barely made it home in time!

Tomorrow is my surgery date as well. Need to be at the hospital at 6:30 am. It's been a long journey to get to this point and I am looking forward to getting past the surgery. I am down 15 pounds the past two weeks due to the pre-op diet (two Protein Shakes and salad with grilled chicken).

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
