Hi Guys!

I just got my approval letter, and I am officially getting sleeved on September 14th! Anyone else getting sleeved on or around that day?!

I am also 9/19. In the clear fluids stage... 6 days!!! Excited, nervous, and about 12000 other emotions!!

The surgeon's office called me today and said they have a cancellation for the day before my surgery date and would I like that date (9/27) Uhhhhh...pause, gulp, okay. But I start my preop diet tomorrow? I asked. That's okay she said. I knew I could keep the 28th, but I thought okay one day sooner. Once I got my head wrapped around it and made some work arrangements I was good. So here I go. The countdown is on.

I'm scheduled for 9/19. I've been doing the modified liquid diet for a few weeks already. Excited to get through this point and onto the next phase.

I will be having my surgery on September 27th. I am on day two of all liquids. Today was better than yesterday, thank goodness.

Don't worry about cheating on pre op diet. I did too and I had my bypass yesterday with no problems. As long as you not eating greasy fries all day, don't stress!

This is not good advice. You may have not had problems - but plenty of people have had their surgeries cancelled (started and sewn back together without having surgery) for not following the liquid diet and not shrinking their liver enough. The purpose of the liquid diet is to put your body in ketosis - burning fat from your liver - any carbs will take you out of ketosis (it doesn't have to be greasy fries). It's important to stick with the pre-op diet as prescribed by your physician (it's really not just a suggestion).

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm planning on taking very little. The clothes I wear to hospital, Vaseline (for my lips), toothbrush (I'm not even bothering with toothpaste), dry mouth rinse (biotene), wipes (for face, hands and other parts!) and on the advice of some of the folks on the other side of surgery I am going to take some gas-x strips with me. Pretty much everything will fit in my handbag.

Will also keep my phone with me, and some headphones but sending my wallet home with my better half.

Random items im taking: 2 bottles of Fiji Water and a couple of disposable Soup spoons.
