Just seeing if anyone is scheduled already for August 2020 with all this COVID stuff going on and people being pushed back farther and farther.

I am scheduled for Aug 11

Hi Shell4451...what procedure are you getting? How are you managing with your preop diet?

I am doing ok hasn’t been easy just liquid but is necessary to shrink the liver for surgery. Been drinking lots of water and a protein shake for my meals. I’m in Arizona and can’t wait till the 7th

Hey there...mine is on the 17th. I am doing a revision from the sleeve to bypass. Have you started on your preop diet yet? What state or city are you from. I am kinda nervous here.

I have not started my pre-op diet yet. I have 2 weeks before surgery until I can start. I have been eating less for about a week and a half so that hopefully it I won’t be so hungry when doing the diet. I can eat one meal a day. 150g of protein and no more than 30g of carbs is my goal. I am from Atlanta, GA. Where are you from? We can be nervous together ?

I start my diet this upcoming week. When I had the sleeve done, I couldn't stand powder protein shakes since they got got me nauseous. I end up on Isopure premade protein drink. It worked out just fine and they are I find them to be tasty. Also, if you do not mind me asking whats you current weight, height, and BMI...and what is you targeted weight?

Awesome I will have to look into the Isopure because I really don’t like power protein either. My Current weight is 306lbs, Height 5’3 BMI is 54. My goal weight is 160lbs. Why are you choosing bypass now above the sleeve?

Hello friends!

I just got rescheduled from July 14th to August 14th because of covid. Its gone by fast and I start my preop diet tomorrow. Nothing to serious. I get to eat lean protein and lots of veggies and shakes for snacks. I'm getting the sleeve done. Good luck everyone!

I am scheduled for August 11 also....how r doing with the liquid diet. These first 2 days have been something else

I just got notified yesterday of my approval (wow that was a long process as my insurance required 6 months of nutrition visits first) and my surgery date for sleeve surgery is August 27th!

Hi PerezL84. I am scheduled for the Gastric bypass. The pre op is tough. Been hungry and tired but hoping that passes, just day 3.

I’m scheduled for August 10th!

Are you still being pushed back?

Scheduled for the 6th for a sleeve! So excited and nervous!

I'm scheduled for the 6th and I'm really nervous, anxious yet excited about the changes and new possibilities.

I'm second guessing everything but I wont back out lol

Good luck everyone

I'm scheduled for August 4. This is a reschedule for me. I was originally scheduled for March 2020, but Covid postponed it. Ready to get it done

Best of luck. I got the sleeve 6 years ago. I suffered from GERD and the sleeve was dialted causing me to eat more. Now I am doing the RYN Bypass.

Best of luck MariaC6. Make sure to keep in mind that all changes including eating habits need to be permanent lifetime changed. Saying this since I failed with my sleeve and now going into Bypass.
