So the reason I choose 8-2-19

Was because I'm an out doors kinda guy.. I love my fishing and taking dips in the lake.. my son turns 2 in April and I want to enjoy his day.. If I do it early I feel like I would get dehydrated with this central California heat and get to miss out on a lot of fishing and swimming with my little one

So... bad news... they pushed my surgery out 2 days to August 14. Good news, that means I don’t start liquid diet until tomorrow. I’ve been doing a hardcore food funeral for like over a month. It’s to the point where I almost find the foods I’m choosing gross at this point. Anywho, I’ve been noticing the way I talk about the surgery to friends... I joke about it like “oh, starting tomorrow I can’t ever eat again” or like “it’s the last time I can have ice cream” or “in the future when I’m starving myself” .... they are jokes but not really jokes. They are my fears about what the future would be. Have any of you been having these fears and what do you do to combat them?

I’ll be going in tomorrow 8/1 ?. Sometimes I miss the California sunshine until I remember those 90+ summer days.

My surgery date is August 12!! I’m getting RNY and am seriously scared. Also excited, obviously. My liquid diet starts on July 29 and there are literally no solid foods allowed except sugar free Jello. I’m going to be honest I’m having a serious food funeral, not even trying to watch what I eat. I realize this probably isn’t the healthiest approach. ????

Hi Annie! Im August 12 too!!! Best of luck to you! How’s your pre-op diet going?
