Absolutely surreal to be posting this as I have read so many of these threads! I didn’t think the day would ever come! Excited and petrified. My date is 2/22/21!!

Any February 2021 bypassers out there? I would love to connect and share prep plans and how things go after surgery.

February 19th is my surgery date! I'm getting more anxious as the days go by.

Welcome @Pkump and @BostonRiley!!

Congrats on the weight loss so far @Pkump!! Amazing!! I am crossing my fingers I will have similar results! Only a few days to go! I will be crossing all my digits for you!

@BostonRiley I think you have the closest date to mine (2/22)!!! Hurry up and wait, right?! When do you start your preop diet? I am going in for my last informational meeting on Wednesday... eeek! I start the diet on 2/8. I am assuming I will get all the details on Wednesday.

I am clearly over-preparing (severe fear of the unknown)... my current buys:

@TreeTrunks Thank you for the welcome! I start my preop diet on 2/5, so only a few more days to go. I feel like I have so many appointments between now and the 19th. I haven't bought too much stuff as I'm afraid to. I did buy some templates on Etsy to track my water in take, my weight by the week and a sheet for my measurements. My boyfriend helped me last night take a bunch of before photos for me to put in my weight loss journal. I am right there with you with the overthinking! We will get through this though!

I’m starting day 4 of 14 of my pre-op diet. It’s getting a little better, not great but better.. I have lost 9lbs.

Oooh! Can you send me the links. I've created my own with a dot journal, but am always looking for ideas!

I need to get my husband to do this...or start taking some in front of the mirror! I've been avoiding it...

Thank you! I have one more day of liquids including protein shakes and soup and then the 24 hours prior just water. Today the preop diet was much more manageable. I still need to take before pictures and pack. I'm excited and trying to keep fear of the unknown down. I overthink and overplan and this forum has helped me not thinking I'm crazy ?

RNY Feb 5!!! Excited and super nervous!! Day 9 of Optifast and going....as strong as possible considering its the same flipping drink day in and out!!

Wishing you all the best, my sleeve operation is this tue Feb 2nd [emoji30] I'm excited, I don't feel scared or anything yet most likely when I get up tue morning to head to the hospital I'll get butterflies

Feb 2 is my date. I am doing the pre-op diet and have lost 10 lbs. Talked to the anesthesiologist yesterday and have my COVID test lined up early on the 1st. I got some library books to keep me easy in the days afterward.

Mine is the 2nd also good luck !!!

I've made it through 5 days of my pre-op diet and while I'm proud of myself I hope the worst is over. I'm thinking about food a lot but I'm holding on.

2 days left for mine - 3 February! so so so nervous. I've been through 2 childbirths.. someone please tell me this is easier than childbirth!!

I’m scheduled for 2/15, have my pre-op physical this morning and start my pre-op diet this coming Friday. To say my anxiety is increasing a bit is an understatement.
