I'm scheduled for surgery August 25th. I was origanally scheduled for July 27th but my insurance was all messed up.

Minimize the screen and mute the sound during commercials. Life is SOOO much nicer without gargantuan burgers slapping you in the senses!

Hi All! I'm scheduled for August 6th. I agree that time seems to be crawling by. My surgeon has me starting the shakes/liquid diet a week from tomorrow. I'm tempted to pig out on all my favorite junk foods that I'll never eat again (at least not for a LOOOONG time) but I know I'd hate myself afterward. It's taken me months to lose 10 lbs and I'm sure without too much effort I could gain it back in a week! Been reading about the regret some folks feel immediately post surgery, like they've made a huge mistake by getting sleeved. Also heard from folks in a local sleeve support group to expect substantial hair loss. Trying to stay positive and feel empowered about doing this but definitely a little scared. Can anyone relate??

I totally can relate to you.

I am also August 18th good luck all

I think I have already written somewhere on here, but I am 8/3 and really getting nervous, excited, scared, worried, all those emotions that I guess are normal. Lifestyle change is going to be weird, hopefully only for a little while. Worried about not drinking enough. Never worried before about getting in enough nutrients or liquids, going to be different for sure. This pre-op is not too bad, but I m having some stomach issues with the protein drinks, so the RD recommended Vega, just tried it, oh my gosh, one of the worst things I have ever tasted. Gets me so upset too, these protein powders aren't cheap and now what do I do with it. Well good luck to all

That's my goal weight my surgery date is August 18 at saranac lake ny. And I will be off work 2 weeks

I'm another august 18th. Started my pre op today as my surgeon requires a 3 week pre op diet! Boooo! Also got a sinus infection complete with fever n headaches etc after the flu so hoping to get that under Control ASAP so not to jepedise my surgery

There are lots of us being done on the 18th! ????

I'm August 17th and my surgeon requires a 3 week full liquid diet as well. Today is my first on it and I'm just praying to get through this. 3 weeks until surgery, seems so far away but I think it will be here before I know it.

How many calories are you guys supposed to stay under during your pre-op liquid diets. I'm genuinely kinda afraid to pass out somewhere

I'm scheduled for 7th Aug! I'm so excited but hate telling people I'm having my surgery. Everyone is so negative about it, most people believe I don't need it and I'm too young. I'm 21, 244lbs and 5ft7 and self paid. It's so hard to help others understand how I feel about myself when nobody wants to listen, has anyone else been in this boat? I'm on jelly and clear soup diet and my 1st day has gone great ????x

I'm sitting in a Walmart waiting for my friend to finish shopping. I've been people watching as I sit here. Is it bad that I want to walk up to the super morbidly obese woman using the cart (that is barely carrying her weight) and say something about bariatric surgery? She is young - or at least she has young children. Her little boy was trying to push her chair so she'd move. ????

August 24th!!!! Started the pre-op diet today! So excited!!

Wow. I thought I was the only one who was going to have theirs in late August

Good luck
