It is completely normal to be nervous. This is, after all, life changing! But I know we are all prepared for that or we wouldn't be here, right? ❤️

Me as mine is April 3. Last Wednesday got a call they had unexpected opening so had to start pre OP diet at that moment.

I don't know how much I will lose after surgery but I have lost 38lbs. so far I am just worried about the liquid diet 2 weeks before surgery

@Romanoloser we have the same date of 4/9, can you tell me what day you start your liquid diet please.. Or anyone else on the same day. Just curious if the didn't put the correct date:) Thank you all

I am on the same date, but sorry I can’t help. My surgeon doesn’t require it.  Just the day before surgery. Can you believe we are only 2 weeks out?  I’m starting to get more and more nervous.

Good luck, I am crossing fingers for April but I am waiting for insurance approval?

Me too although they already put me on the 2 week pre OP diet which sucks btw.

My surgery is 4/8 and I begin my liquid diet tomorrow, 3/25.

OK, so if you are the 8th and start tomorrow I think someone couldn't add and gave me an extra day ha ha. I thought my liquids start on the 26th which is 2 weeks exactly:) I didn't want to start on my long Monday at work.

My 10 day liver shrinking pre op diet starts tomorrow. It’s hard to believe I will having my revision surgery in 9 days. I am so ready to get it done and start living my new life. I have my shakes, crystal light mixes, sugar free jello and broths ready for the work day tomorrow!

I usually do well throughout the day until 3pm ish when I start feeling that head hunger. I’m telling myself to keep busy at work because when I am busy I don’t even think about eating!

Wish me luck!

I did an unofficial pre op start Monday of last week but since I didn’t officially start until tomorrow I didn’t go too hard on myself. Especially this weekend when we celebrated my twins first birthday! I feel ready for this diet. I know it’s going to be hard but I can do this!
I just realized I was still looking at my original date of the 8th so really we have to start on Tuesday and 15 days lol?
