I'm set for April 5th. I was originally set for September 2016 but one of my pre-opt tests showed an issue I needed to address. That's done and I'm finally rescheduled and hopefully on my way. Fingers crossed!

I have my surgery scheduled for April 5th!!!!! YAY!!!! I am doing my 2 week liquid diet starting today.

I'm April 5th too! I'm new to this forum but am glad to have found surgery buddies. I just started my pre-op diet. It's actually not required but I want to have the best chance for success possible, so here I am. Already cranky!

Welcome!!

My surgeon requires 2 weeks of clears. 4-5 protein shakes, broth, sugar free popsicles, sugar free hello and sugar free caffeine free uncarbonated drinks. This pre op diet is no joke. I'm on day 6/14...

I don't have a pre-op diet either. Just a one day restriction when it gets closer to April 5th. But I also started one just to get my mind in the right mood. To prove to myself that I can do this!

Yay!!! Congratulations! Waiting until next week to find out your date stinks, but at least you know that you'll find out soon. Enjoy your last days of eating freely. :71_smiling_imp:

Tomorrow can't come any faster. I'll post my date tomorrow as soon as I find out.


Hey guys, what kind of broth did you buy/will buy for after the surgery? I'm not sure which one is the best choice.

I received my insurance approval in the mail Saturday. Today we scheduled my pre-op class for April 2nd and my sleeve surgery for the 19th.
