I HAVE FINALLY AFTER 8 MONTHS RECEIVED MY DATE! July 18th 2019 ?

Absolutely so excited and would love to thank you all for giving me advice and feedback, it is completely appreciated and i am just so excited. First ever surgery and I'm ready!

Anyone else have or had surgeries in July? Would love to know! ?

Hi, I'm new to the group and am scheduled for RNY on July 22nd. I am only required to have a 24 hour clear liquid diet prior to surgery. Good luck to all.

Yay welcome! And awesome and good luck on your journey, wish you the best! ?

So day two of pre-OP diet (promise I wont do a daily update everyday lol) I've had diarrhea all day long these past two days. So headache and diarrhea are associated with 2wk pre op diet. I haven't see anyone talk about them so I didn't expect this. Did the diarrhea last the whole two weeks or does it calm down after a few days?

I’m converting from VSG to DS on 7/18!!

Yay congratulations!

All is well! I have been able to keep down several soups (non chunky) and protein shakes and fluids. No pain anymore. I have my 2 week post op appt on Monday. I am currently down 19 lbs since surgery. I am at a two day stall, so I told myself I will not look at the scale again until Monday and am only going to weigh myself once a week. I hear the stall is normal, but ya'll know how fun it is seeing the lbs come off and then when it suddenly stops it sucks. Non-scale victory. I put on jean shorts easily that i wasnt even able to get up over my hips at the beginning of summer! YAY
