Just got the my date today, Sept. 21st - I'm excited and nervous all at once! Having a date makes this whole journey so real. Up to now I was just following instructions and now it like... WOW, this really is happening NOW!

Hi!! I'm September 21st too...... Let's go????

How is your pre-op diet going? In on day 7, it was hard the first couple of days but it got better. Tomorrow I start full liquid. :/

Well Monday (14th) starts week 2 of the pre op liquid diet for me! Tuesday is my EGD and then surgery on the 21st. Time is flying by, thank goodness, so over this liquid diet!

I'm scheduled for a revision from the lap band to the sleeve as well...on Sept. 17th, Thursday. Ready, nervous of course.

One week away !!!!

Me too jusarte! My date is September 24th

Friday is the day for me....

A lot of new beginnings this week and next. @@ExcitedNana, how are you after your surgery recently?

I'm ready....I've have a lot of surgeries, mostly bone and joint related...this will be a totally different one for me.

I'm doing great! I haven't walked as much as I had planned, I'm working on that. My temptations are winning, I ate a couple of potato chips. Shame on me....and I felt bad after I ate them. No will power here. The grandkids are just going to have to take their treats home with them. LOL I have diarrhea about 30 min after drinking the Protein Drink or broth. Just wondering if this is normal. I see the surgeon this Thursday. I've only lost about 14 pounds but 35 inches!

I had my surgery the 9th . I am do OK but hat sleeping on my back

7 days to go till surgery!!!

9 days to go for me!

Mine just changed to the 28th!

@@charlotteweb Did you doctor recommend you sleep on your back? I don't think I could do that either. I'm glad to hear you are doing well. Have you started walking yet? I'm on my way out the door now to take a little evening walk with my 8 year old granddaughter. Love our time together. Good luck.

9 days for me too!

@vegasrosee99@yahoo.com Sorry your date got changed. It's so hard waiting! Use this time to clean a closet or something. LOL. I did do a lot of laundry and cleaning the week of surgery. The nesting mode kicked in, I got a lot done. I'm 12 days post-op and already have a pair of jeans to retire. I'm so excited. I've only lost 16 pounds but I've lost 38 inches. I'm not getting in all the protein and water they suggest. I'm just not hungry or thirsty so I don't think of it. I keep saying I'll do better tomorrow. Hopefully I will. Are you on a liquid diet? My surgeon had me on one 2 weeks prior. That was very hard for me.
