    August 6th surgery date here. Starting my week-long liquid diet tomorrow. I thought I would spend this weekend saying goodbye to my favorite foods and restaurants and I just haven't felt like it.

Finally got a surgery date 8/28 super excited, super emotional
How is everyone feeling about their surgery? Nervous? Any second thoughts? Are you all excited?
I think I am feeling all of these things! Haha mine is on August 13th! It’s coming up soooo fast!

Excited, anxious. August 23 seems so far away!! ?

good luck August sleevers!

Cherry Ann,

My mother is coming to drive me to surgery. I am more worried about having my house cleaned than the surgery. No matter how old your mother is she will still tell you to "clean your room".

I had my surgery Wednesday August 1st. I was very scared and nervous coming in that morning. My surgery took. While becuse I had some scar tissue from
Where my gallbladder was removed several years ago. Over all I am doing amazing. Been drinking water and a protein shake last night. My only complaint is that drain they leave in after the bypass. It’s very uncomfortable, and will be ready to get that out hopefully Tuesday!

Glad to hear you are doing well and recovering well. I’m at the hospital waiting and I hope I have those same outcomes!
This may be TMI so, let me say sorry up front. Day Five of this liquid protein and green veggies diet. Is anyone else on the liquid green veggies diet having some serious diarrhea?? Woke up in the middle of the night running to the bathroom and it’s all green. ? ewww. Then before I took my kids to camp again. I can’t keep eating green veggies if this is gonna keep happening. I will be stuck at home all weekend. It’s so uncomfortable using work bathrooms. I don’t use public bathrooms at all. I always hold it until I get home. However with what’s going on now, not sure I will be able to hold it. ??‍♀️ ugh ? annoyed that I still have a 8 days to go.
I’m going in for a 2 pm vsg surgery! Please send prayers my way!! Talk to you guys soon.

@HeatherA sending prayers to you and everyone else having surgery today. Best wishes to you all. Meet you on the other side.

My surgery is 8/21...I'm nervous and excited!!?

Hi all :) My surgery is Aug 6th so I will be preparing the house and getting everything ready for me to come home to after surgery this weekend. I have been kind of nesting already if that makes sense. I just know I will worry about something needing to be accomplished if I don't do it all now. I think i'm more worried about that then surgery lol!

I felt like I was nesting, too!
