August 1st here! Had my pre surgery today, final blood draw etc, got my scripts for after surgery. Starting to get nervous. This is my first major surgery and I haven't had many other health issues.... Yet. so I've been doing the whole 'maybe I can just do this on my own' dance in my head then I slap my head and say 'NO!' Ha. I think I'll be convincing myself it's the right choice right up until they knock me out!

How's everyone doing on their preop diets?? So far, so good here. The 3rd and 4th day were the worst, but it does get better after that. Drink your water! Especially during these hot summer months! It makes a huge difference, I am finding. On a separate note....i lost 9 lbs. in 5 days!!!! WHAT!!??? lol I know it's mostly Water weight, but so encouraging.

Crazy! I'm on day 5 and I have to agree that 3 and 4 are the worst. Mostly day 3. I woke up with a headache, starving and angry. Today is much better despite all of the temptation.

My surgery is August 1st! On day three of the pre-op diet =(((( It took me like four weeks after being submitted to the insurance company to find out I was actually approved because the first time they submitted my Drs office gave them the wrong info which caused me to be denied... They ended up fixing it though thank goodness! I'm nervous and hungry >.< I just want it over with already!

I'm right there with you! I'm on Day 2 and soooo miserable! I'm counting the days! Best of luck!!

Yeeeees! I keep doing the same thing, questioning if I should just keep trying on my own, but I know it's just nerves and that if I put it off i'll never really feel ready. I'm not getting any younger so now is the time!

August 24th, here! Start the pre-op liquid diet on the 14th, and I'm nervous about that, but so excited overall! I feel like there are a million things to do and prepare for between now and then. Who's with me?!

Today is day two of my preop diet. I have made sure to vary my Protein sources. ProJoe in the morning. Unflavored Bariatric Advantage Protein shake. Bariatric Advantage vegetable Protein Soup (which helps me sleep). So far the most difficult aspect of the protein liquid diet phase has been cooking for everyone else. I nearly cried when cooking dinner last night (burgers). My darling husband refuses to cook. My daughter usually works evenings. And my son believes dinner should be cooked using the microwave. I need to do some meal planning for them so I can stay sane and avoid sampling. So far so good... August 3rd will be here fast enough.

Liquid diet starts on 7/25 for me. I still have to get my shakes (it's on sale, woo hoo!!!). I have my Vitamins, although I want the Bariatric Advantage ones. It's more expensive, so I'm taking Centrum Adult chewable. I still need broth, etc but at least I have Jello lol I'm nervous too. I keep reading my list. I'm going shopping tomorrow!

@@Pink Ninja I'm 10 months and 11 days post op. I've lost 163 pounds since surgery and 218 pounds since I started this journey. My weight loss has slowed wayyyyyyy down, mostly because I've been laid up recovering from knee surgery for two months, so that's a bit of a bummer. However, even though I'm still 224 pounds and about 50 pounds away from my goal, I'm happy to be here. My life has changed drastically in the last year and a half, and I have changed drastically as well. I used to wear a 4x top and size 32 jeans (which were sometimes snug!) and now I wear a large or 1x top and size 18 jeans. By all accounts, I'm still "fat". But I feel amazing, I look VERY different, and many things in my life have improved. I'm going back to school to finish my degree in August, and I don't fear walking up to the building from the parking lot or climbing two flights of stairs anymore. I just got a tattoo to Celebrate all of my effort and change. I'm excited to see wonderful things happening for you too! And everyone on this forum!

Wow!! You are definitely inspiration to me. I'm starting out wearing a 28 in pants and 3x shirts so I'm simply amazed to see your transformation. Honestly, I think a part of me didn't feel I could lose that much but after reading your post and others as well as seeing the pictures I know it can happen. You rock!!!

Hey, Dawnie Doo! August 8th is right around the corner! I'm excited for you and will be checking for your updates. The liquid diet sounds a little tough to me even though I drink most of my calories majority of the time anyway, but I guess milkshakes are a total different ballgame. LOL Have you found a good brand of Protein mix you like? I was online reading and the Syntrax Nectar sounds good since they offer more than chocolate and vanilla. Have you tried them or know anyone who has? I'm going to Vitamin Shoppe since I saw they carry it and hopefully they have sample sizes. I just know after drinking so many I will need some variety.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
