I just got off the phone with my surgical coordinator. It’s really going to happen. I have me pre-op meeting with the nutritionist on Monday, pre-op tests and meeting with my doctor Tuesday, and the 2 week liquid diet starts next Wednesday.

I feel like I just won the lottery. I have so many questions running through my head. I am not worried about the actual surgery, but I know the 2 week liquid diet is going to suck. But I am so ready.

Woohoo! happy dance. Congrats on your date.

All the positives out of surgery will outweigh the sucy parts. Be strong be brave..... you got this!

Congrats on getting the great news!! It's such a great feeling getting that call. Enjoy the journey!!!!

I’m in the same boat! Only my surgery is in only 17 days. I did the chest X-ray, the EKG & the preop labs last week & next week I have the surgical clearance with my dr. I’m so excited & nervous at the same time. My liquid diet starts on Monday so I’m doing the food funeral this weekend. Are you having any second thoughts or feeling nervous about your decision? I was excited the whole way until a few days ago...yikes!

I started my pre-op diet today, procedure date is Tueday 16 October. I didn't really have any food funerals, yesterday I wasn't feeling well and today not so flash either, so I jumped right into the pre-op diet.
