I'm Michelle and.....I got my date today!! I am on a roller coaster of emotions! I will be sleeved on 9/21/15. I start my 2 week pre op diet on monday 9/7. I would love to have more people who are getting sleeved on that day to join me so we can support each other and share or experiences. I started my journey in 2/15 and have felt like I have been in limbo for the past 7 months and it is now finally coming up on "my turn". I have read these boards, had my ups and downs and now all the effort is paying off!

Congratulations! I know how exiting this time is.. I just went through it! I had my RNY on August 17th. It's really just a crazy roller coaster of emotions and impatience. Take good care or yourself, keep your eyes on the prize. Great things are headed your way. If you want to talk or ask questions or anything, my inbox is always open. ;D

@@Cervidae Thank you so much. How are you doing with your surgery? healing well? I hope you didn't have any complications and are progressing as expected.

No complications, healing perfectly. Knock on wood! Not losing as much weight as I had hoped but it's not uncommon to lose slowly in the beginning. ????

I begin my liquid diet Monday too! And have the same surgery date!! keep your eye on the prize! From what I've read and heard the forst few days of the liquid diet are the hardest but after that it should be a piece of.. uhmm cantaloupe? Lol I wanna say cake but we won't be able to have that for a long while xD hehe

I'm 9/21 too! We got this!????

Yes we do! Are we all doing a 2 week pre op? I start on Monday also @@jacks89

My surgery date should be pretty close to yours! I'm supposed to hear back on Tuesday but they said it should be before the end of the month. I would love to be a part of this. Feels like it took forever to get here but now it's all happening so fast.

I'm having the last of my food funerals today hehe xD kind of excited and nervous but more excited !!

Yep, start the pre-op diet Monday also...I really feel like these next two weeks are going to fly by. It's taken a long time to get here but it will be so worth it????

I'm a few days ahead of you. My surgery is the 18th. I'm ready nervous and scared but over all ready

I admit I am eating whatever I want this weekend! I am ready! I don't think the first week will be easy but the week after that I am so busy with appointments. I think I will be too exhausted to care!

I bet you are ready! What is your pre op diet? I assume you started already?

I am also having surgery on 9/21 and have to start my 2 week liquid diet Monday, which I am dreading!! But I can't wait to have this behind me!

I bet you are ready! What is your pre op diet? I assume you started already?

My preop diet is high protein and no starches. I do 1salad with meat and cheese no dressing a protein shake and a broth with chicken or shrimp. I make sure I have at least 64oz of water.

Mine is 2 shakes and a 350 calorie meal. Gonna be a long 2 weeks! Hopefully it will get easier after the first week
