OMG soooo excite! Bought my protein powder for my liquid diet. Going to spend the next few days ordering some things I need off Amazon. Have a work conference this week, and start my liquid diet next Thursday 10/12. SOOOOO GLAD the timing on that worked out! It would have been miserable trying to faithfully do the liquid diet while at a conference lol

I'm still preparing & surgery is Wed 10/4/17. What have you ordered? Going to pack for the hospital tonight so I don't have to think about it tomorrow.

Best wishes on your journey.

Same day 10/17/2017

Oct 9th here! Very excited!

When the boss tells me I need to tie up loose ends and designate people to cover my caseload... holy crap! It’s 2 weeks away! I am having trouble sleeping lately... anyone else?

My surgeon told me to get the sleeve instead of the bypass. He said that you can avoid the frequent dumping syndrome and that in his practice that sleevers lose weight at the same rate as gastrics.

My doctor told me the same thing........less complications

Finally got my date Oct 16, 2017

I'm feeling scared and excited at the same time.

We got this!!! Everyone says they were super nervous pre-op for nothing. They go to sleep, next thing they know they're on the loser's bench. Wish it was November already and we were all on the other side!

Good luck today!!!

Sitting down catching up with all of your posts with my cookies and cream protein shake and it is becoming a bit surreal. I have my appointment this afternoon with the second surgeon who will be working on me and as long as they give a thumbs up and my blood work is all good we should be able to start the countdown.

Cookies n cream protein shake that sounds so good. I will start the liquid diet on the 9th. I hope I can stick to it, I have a fatty liver anyway. So I hope there's no problem when my surgeon performs my surgery.

Good luck today!!!

Hope all went well with your surgery. How are you feeling?
