July 16th. I'm nervous too. I think it's good to be a bit nervous because it is a major change and it's surgery. I'm just ready for it all to be over because I'm not looking forward to the pain. :(

I

I'm looking forward to NOT being in pain anymore. I'm excited to see if my back and ankle pain get better when I lose weight ????

I am!

Best of luck to each & everyone

After reading everyone's post I think I am making myself nervous now lol

This whole process has gone by fast, from the time I meet with my Dr the 1st time to now waiting for my pre op appt July 8th

I can't believe this is finally happening after fighting being overweight my whole life.

July 10th!

That's my date too!

I'm scheduled for July 10th and I'm nervous too. Did your surgeon recommend a two week liquid diet? Mine says I only have a liquid diet the day before my surgery. Wondering why some recommend different things...

That's my date as well!

I can see I'm not the only one confused about pre-surgery diet. Maybe it has to do with each patient's unique situation and also doctor preference. Afterall, they are the ones going in there, so they aren't going to make their work more difficult. I think it's best to follow what the doc says. In the absence of specific instructions, as in my case, I have a couple choices I can make. I think i'll do a Protein fruit shake in the morning and protein at lunch and dinner and a bit of a shake if I need a snack at night two weeks out. I figure i'll accomplish the liver shrink, and prepare my tummy for the trauma. now, about sagging skin; any ideas? I was thinking of doing soaks in the tub with yummy oils and all kinds of stuff like that.

Mine is the 14th of July start my pre-op on July 4th - this should be interesting! I can have Protein Shakes, sf Jello, sf Popsicle, broths, small curd cottage cheese, yogurt (Greek is best), Water, crystal light and very low sugar oatmeal. I think I'm one of the lucky ones! I have to do this for 10 days! I am prepared, a little anxious and scared, but I know I'm doing the right thing!!

With my doctor it all depends on your BMI. If it's 45 or under you go on the pre-op diet for one week. If it's 46 or over you need to follow it for 2 weeks. I'm lucky compared to some of the other pre-ops I see on here. I'm allowed to have some food: 6-8 servings of chicken, fish, FF SF Greek yogurt, SF applesauce, SF Jell-o, oatmeal, & 1 cup raw veggies (lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, Tomato etc). My NUT doesn't care if I eat all the food, but I have to drink 64 oz of Water and 4 Protein Shakes a day (whey Protein isolate only), plus multi Vitamin and calcium citrate.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
