Just received my surgery date today! 2/22! Putting through insurance next week! Excited but all of a sudden nervous! Anxious about the insurance approval, the surgery itself, and life afterwards but my excitement certainly outweighs the worries. Would be great to find a few people going through it around the same time! ????

Well it's finally February!! How is everyone doing? The pre-diets and the waiting is almost over????

I haven't started my preop yet but i am starting my official count down! I am super excited!

9 days to go for me, very excited!!

You know, one thing that always has made me curious is how everyone talks about pre-op diets, and I wonder if they're talking about about just generally trying to lose as miuch weight as possible for the surgery or if their doctors placed them on liquid diets or whatnot prior to surgery. After reading people talking about it here, I asked my surgeon and he said No, just a clear liquid diet from the NIGHT before, but that's it... hmmmmm I guess many surgeons have different takes on this.

My pre-op diet is all liquids for 2 weeks pre-op. I have to drink 3 protein shakes a day one for each meal and can have sugar free Popsicles and jello. Also broth. I am now on day 5 I can't say it is easy, it is a struggle but not un bearable. I keep going to frig to see what is there but then remember no eating. It is also hard because I have 2 young boys 8 and 10 so I still need to provide for them.

I go to surgery on Feb 8!????. I am very glad and also anxious. Trying to be a good girl and finish my 24 day pre op diet. I think I'm doing pretty good; I'm getting tired of all the protein shakes! As the pre op diet goes on, I've lost my appetite almost completely. I don't feel hungry and eating feels like a forced affair. Weird!! But I'm trying.....????!! Best wishes for everyone, I'm rooting for all of you!!

Well, ha ha ha!, I'm not dying-yet!! ????. I've lost about 15# so far, my days are almost up. I've lost a total of about 45#, and I'm very pleased with that. I see my surgeon and the rest of the surgery team on the 4th to go over the surgery and do any last minute stuff he wants done for pre op. Then Monday its time to go! It's all been worth it, but still intimidating. ????

My surgery date is 2/26. I'm so nervous! And excited
