Hi there,

I just got a surgery date of November 10th. I am very excited but nervous as well. Was wondering if anyone else was having surgery on or around that date? Maybe we could support each other through the pre op diet and the rest of this journey?

Cheers!

@@mokt my father has been very supportive! He knows that its something that I really want to do! ????My mother hasn't been as supportive as in would like so as I approach my date of surgery I haven't been keeping her in the loop ???? my boyfriend knows and I don't plan in telling anyone. I totally agree with the no negative vibes! ???????????????? All of my coworkers no and they have been encouraging me along the way so that helps a lot too!

My surgery local. Which is good! I don't wanna travel anywhere! ????????

@@queencity we should definitely keep in touch! All support is welcomed ???? positive vibes only ????

Yes, most definitely keep in touch. I will let you know how my surgery went and also how i am doing with my preop liquid diet. I know most people would have a food funeral but i chose to eat a delicious but healthy dinner .

I'm having the biggest starch funeral right now ????????????????

First post here, I'm scheduled for November 12. I start shakes only on Wednesday.

@@KimT123 congratulations!!!!!

Congratulations@@KimT123!!! How are you feeling about it all?

Anyone else fighting the "I want to eat everything I can get my hands on" blues?? Had a small binge episode yesterday. Made me realise that I HAVE to get this surgery. All week I've been thinking, maybe I can just drinks shakes like I used to and get this weight off. Then, boom, one uncontrollable binge while no one is looking. It wasn't that bad, but it was still a binge. Thanks for "listening" as no one else really understands.

@all4him. I completely know what you are going through. I am going through it now as well. I was just thinking that maybe I didn't need this surgery that maybe I could do this on my own and hen next thing you know I am eating everything in sight. Good news I stopped quickly after starting but I really realize that I can't do this on my own. I need help. Hang in there!

I just got my date as well. It's Nov. 9th. I just started my liquid diet.

Just started my pre surgery diet this morning! Sleeve Date 11/16... I too had a bing this weekend.. I'm trying my best to stay laser focused these next two weeks! I can't believe it's here.. I've wanted this for so long and now all kind of emotions are running rampid!! I even smoked a cigarette yesterday????, after I quit 4mos ago! I pray it doesn't effect my sugery! ????

Good luck all I'm so glad I can vent here and read that I'm not alone! You guys are all amazing!!

My surgery is on the 10th, as well. I started my pre op liquid diet last Tuesday, two weeks out. I got on the scale this morning and I have lost 10 pounds! I am shocked!! So I have another week of liquids, one day of Clear Liquids the day before surgery and NPO after midnight the night before. What if my doctor says I've lost too much weight, I don't need to do this surgery now? What if my BMI falls below 35? I'm starting to panic that he's going to say I should just lose the final 70 pounds on my own. I'm talking crazy in my head!!!

Hi Everyone. My sleeve surgery is on Nov 18th. Will visit surgeon tomorrow. Im excited. Pre Op diet starts in a week but will confirm w Surgeon tomorrow. Getting excited, anxious.

I am glad I am not the only one feeling these things. The liquid diet is tough for sure. I am hungry and have a headache. Jello is my new best friend this week. Hang in there everyone!!

Hello,

mine is November 9th! Also scared and happy at the same time. A little nervous because i had to be on the liquid diet for 4 weeks and i've cheated every now and then. Hoping that my surgery will be successful and wont have to reschedule. Any advise on losing extra fat on the liver in a short amount of time?

What is your bmi?

My surgery date is also the 10th... My dear sweet grandmother's birthday and i feel she will be there with me in spirit, but my nerves are setting in for sure.
