Since waiting for them to start the 2016 thread, I know there are many who are having surgery in January. What are some of your dates?

Mine is January 20th. I'm starting the liquid diet this week and not looking forward to it. Being realistic. liquids for a month does not appeal but in the long run will be worth it I know. :)

I'm Jan 25 - and don't have to start my pre-op until Jan 18. I have started giving things up this week - pop, sweets, etc - to make it a little easier. I hope to keep my anxiety in check and not get shingles this time. I was set for Oct 2015 and had to reschedule - so fingers crossed that I stay healthy :)

Mine is 1/26. Have to start the liquid diet on 1/12. I have to travel 5 hours out of town on 1/15, then we are having a party at our house on 1/16. Oh how I am dreading those days!! Going to do my best to stick with it, but it is going to be tough.

I'm having the sleeve surgery on 1/29 with Dr. John Raheb with Kaiser Permanente. Starting the 13 day liver shrinking diet on 1/15 which I'm also dreading! 1 day liquid, the day before surgery.

My friend lost 19 lbs on the 13 day pre-op diet so I'm looking forward to similar results!!! ????

We are all on the path to being healthy! Go us! ????????

Mine was on Monday, January 4th. I am now home but in quite a bit of pain. Mostly everything I read said they didn't have much pain after surgery but man, did I struggle! I was able to walk a lot that night which helped but I have a horrible "side stitch" on my left side that isn't going away. Can't wait to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Congrats on the start to your new and improved life! ???? my friend also had pain and it got better each day. My husband had rny 9 years ago and had a stitch on his right rib that created a dent and hurt really bad but it got better as time passed and he lost weight. Hang in there!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
