I plan to go back to work the day after I go home. My surgery is August 4th.

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 attempted it but had no desire for those foods. On day 5 of my pre op diet.

Hello,

So I've been reading a lot of the post on here and I haven't posted anything myself just because I wasn't sure if it was even going to happen but I finally got my surgery date yesterday yay!!! My surgeon is requiring me to be on a liquid diet from now until my surgery date. Does anyone know if its possible to lose 15 pounds before August 6th??

Absolutely! The pre-op diet will do it.

I wish I was already on my pre op diet! LOL! I have to do an entire week of liquids and then clear liquids the day before surgery. It still seems so far off but August 9th will be here before I know it.

@@Formyboys2015 lucky us, I can't imagine having to diet before. I'm enjoying having food funerals. ????

My final

Food funeral is tomorrow I'm glad to know I'm not the only person who's doing thatb

@@sshellssea Haha I highly doubt we're the only ones! Enjoy your last meal!!!

Been havin my food funeral lol come august 6th I will be on my liquid diet

August 26

I am ready...my preop diet is a bit different...I have a 14 day high protein/low-carb diet....I start on 7/29/15.

This sounds the same as the one I will be following-when you get started on it would you mind letting me know how you find it please? I will be starting mine on 4th August. ????

Will do????

I am watching nothing but Netflix for the next few months. I am on day three of liquid diet and these food commercials are killing me...slowly.

Three weeks for me. I'll decide if I'm going to do August 8th

@miamiblue13.....I hadn't thought about the food commercials but now I notice them everywhere! I start my liquid diet 7 days before my surgery on July 30!!! Netflix is definitely going to be the way I go!!

August 12th for me! I'm ready!

You're my surgery date twin!
