Hi my surgery is scheduled for July 18th also. Are you on the liquid diet also. It is no fun. Wish you well.

My surgery date is also July 18th. I don't have to do a liquid diet but I have to try to consume less than 40 g of carbs a day. I'm so excited. Wishing you both the best and looking forward to reading your updates.

Glad the warm liquids are helping you guys out. I was able to get 55g of protein and 66 oz of fluids today. Fingers crossed it stays this way.

I'm also July 18th, my Dr. requires a one week pre-op diet consisting of protein shakes for breakfast and lunch and a under 300 calorie lean cuisine for dinner. I can have sugar free jello, pudding and popsicles for snacks in between. I start Monday, this should be interesting!

I have my surgery this coming Thursday(July 14th). I am on day 10 of opti-fast prescribed by Doctor. Excited and amazed I have done this for almost 10 days. Heading towards the finish line of the fast and ready for next chapter!! I am 55 and have been around 200 pounds for about 15 years. I have always been an emotional eater and yo yo dieter. I have lost the same 30 to 40 pounds many times. This is definitely just a tool toward my life style change. I have been reading, journaling and will find a support group and maybe a therapist too. I am looking at this as "All hands on deck". I wish the best for all of you and hope to enjoy this forum for years to come!

Start my preop liquid diet tomorrow surgery 7/25 at 1030am. I'm so excited I'm not even worried about it. I just can not wait to be on the losers bench and get on with my life. I have been very open about my surgery with my friends and co-workers. When the nay-sayers ask if I'm sure my response is as follows: I have so many things I've put off because of my weight and they are my inspiration whenever I think of how overwhelming this decision and process has been. Yes, its a big change. Yes, its going to be a major adjustment but what I'll get in return will be worth so much more then the slice of cake I couldn't have or the cup of coffee I missed out on.

Luckily my friends have been even more supportive then I had imagined them to be and I am very grateful for them and ALL OF YOU!

Getting liquids in better everyday. 57 ounces yesterday. Feeling pretty clear and no groggy after-effects. Just feeling sore near the incision points.

Hi...my date is July 15th and I am sooo nervous. I keep going back and forth being excited and then scared.

I literally feel like crying sometimes, and then I think about why I am having the surgery. My biggest fear is going under aneathesia.

Me too but close behind that is healing the head hunger after surgery. I have been eating for comfort since I was a child. I am 55!!!!

I worry about the head hunger as well. It will take time to get used to a new lifestyle for us.
