I am scheduled for 4/4!

Hi there! Thanks for replying to me! Where ya from? I'm in Pittsburgh Pa. I'm very nervous about all this! Your just right around the corner with your surgery! Not much longer! Are you super excited???

I live about an hour away from Kansas City, Mo. I'm getting excited and nervous. I'm only on day 3 of my liquid diet and I am not going to lie, I am beginning to question this whole thing.

@@countryrose Hi! So you have 2 apps prior to your surgery? Do you have to do a liquid diet? I've been told 10 days for our practice. I'm hoping I won't have to do it that long! Uggggh! Couple weeks for you! I wish you tons of luck! Where are you located?

I'm from Iowa, near Des Moines. I only had 3 weight checks, a pulmonary function test, psych eval, and then the customary pre op labs. My surgeon doesn't require a pre op diet (YES!!!) and I'm so thankful for that. It's coming up so quick!

@@claddagh66 I know when I saw the scale I didn't believe it haha. Motivates me definitely. I am fine energy wise now it honestly isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I've cooked for my family and had no issues not eating it I find Mio the water flavoring helps alot so I don't get bored with water also eating ice so I can chew something and sugarless gum between those 3 things I feel like they saved me lol from strictly shakes and water for 3 weeks. I started taking my multi vit and hair skin and nails so maybe helping energy wise and I have an active niece that lives with me so I make sure to promise her a walk every morning she never forgets and never gives up until I get off my butt so we walk 30 mins every day just around town. I certainly do have facebook add me Taren Matthew

4/5! So excited due to my BMI being under 50 I only have to do a 2 day liquid diet before surgery; however, I followed my wife's two week high Protein, low calorie diet before her surgery and I have dropped about 35 lbs. since Dec. 2015.

My BMI is 45 and I still have to do 3 weeks shakes lol

Wow. It is so interesting to see the different approaches and requirements. Good luck on your 3 weeks of shakes.

Hi!!! You and kjwen are back to back! That's nice! Will you have a preop apt first? How long is your liquid diet time? If you even have one? And where are you located?
I'm living in Dublin, Ireland. Started my pre-op on Monday.

This is why we're here. To help each other. Are you on Facebook! You can friend me and we can talk more. Maybe it will help you a bit more. It's easier to use instant messaging rather than going back n forth on here. Your doing well tho. Don't give in! You got 3 days under you! Keep it up!!! Don't give up

Hello to you in Iowa! You are one of he very few who got this lucky to not have the liquid diet. A friend of mine didn't have to either. I'm a bit jealous lol. I had 5 months of tons of testing including gyne, stress test, endoscopy, labs, EKG, echocardiogram, sleep study 2 of them! It was crazy all I had to do. Glad that's all over. I have a broken foot so I couldn't do my stress test on a treadmill so they injected this stimulant into an iv and omg it was awful. It raced my heart gave me an instant headache made me sweaty and made me nauseous! Never again!
