July 16 in Mexico. Not nervous, just excited!!!

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!

Hey, I'm July 24 in Atlanta. Anybody using Bariatric Advantage pre-surgery diet and Vitamin recomendations? I think I'm gonna use them.My doc is kinda vague, like 'protein, no carbs'.

July 10th for me and I'm nervous 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...

July 10th is my date. ???? I am so ready for the new being.

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.

Me Too!

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.

July 16!

Greetings fellow July sleevers! I am new since yesterday when I started my freakout and began reaching out.
