I've got my surgery date for 7-18-16. Nervous. Anyone else have a July surgery date scheduled?

I'm July 4th. 5 more sleeps! It's excited, it doesn't feel real. What have people planned to eat in the first few weeks post op?

So excited to see that everyone is getting pumped and ready for this lifetime adventure! Me and my sister are doing this together . She is already 12 days Post-op and doing well and back at work. She's lost 21 pounds so far. I'm excited to see what we all do!

I can only hope for a July surgery.....I have my 5 hour block appointment tomorrow for all the testing, if all paperwork is good and insurance says it's a go, how long after your testing did you have to wait to schedule surgery?

I was scheduled the next day after I got approved cause I had did everything.

I am so excited for my July 25th date!!! I've even started eating low carb so that when I start my 2 week preop liquid diet I've already went through the carb withdraw and hopefully it will be easier! One giant adjustment at a time.

Hi all - day 3 in pre op diet. My diet allows a protein bar replacement in place of the shake. They are so much nicer. Do u think in order to shrink the liver the liquid form is better? Or is it more about the low carbs?

After the first week of liquids is over, I bought some baby food for the following weeks. I was told I can puree some chicken with fat-free gravy or chicken broth, so I will attempt that. Stocking up on unsweetened apple sauce, sugar free puddings, ricotta, oatmeal, grits, all the mushy stuff.

Mine is July 5th as well.

That's awesome!

I have cancelled my surgery. Since I have a lower BMI, my Holistic doctor has persuaded me to try the HCG Protocol first as an alternative to surgery.

I will starting Phase 1 in one and a half weeks.

Good luck!!

I took HCG injections and they did not work at all! It was a waste of $895!

Day 8 pre-op diet. Just trudging along.

Mine is July 15th. So much to do before then! They want me on a week pre op diet. I just recently heard about the hair loss related to surgery so I am getting OGX biotin & collagen shampoo which someone told me about. Other than that no worries! lol
