After a long six months, I finally received my surgery date for Wednesday June 9th. I'm absolutely thrilled! Anyone else joining me in June?

June 9th for me as well ?

June 23rd for me!

congratulations

I'm so freaking excited for all of us!!!! Made it halfway through my 2 week liquid diet. Days 3/4 were brutal but its getting easier!

Today's the day. 6 hours to go.

I didn't find the month long preop optifast diet to bad except for the headaches on day 4 but after that I didn't feel hungry at all. I have really gotten into walking whilst on the diet and have lost nearly 15kg (33lbs).

I have had a few people say to me why bother having the op now that I have lost the weight and just continue on the diet. It did make me question my decision for a while but I new I wouldn't keep the weight off.

I'm now hoping for a smooth op with No complications.

Good Luck to all you other guys with ops this month.

I began my journey in August and I finally have a surgery date for June 17. I am excited and start my 2 week pre-op diet tomorrow.

Finally got the call today with my admission time (7.30am isn't too bad!) and got the go-ahead for the finance, transferring the deposit made me feel sick. It's real. It's happening.

Come on June 12th..

Booked in for my bypass on 14th June! Started my LRD on Monday... soooo hungry ??

My surgery went well on June 1st. Had a good bit of nausea and discomfort the first night. But feeling much better now. Heading home today.

So exciting! I should be getting a call tomorrow to confirm admission time. Did my surgery payment with the pre-op appointment. Surgery is less than a week away. It hasn't set in yet for me though. Like, I'm aware surgery is coming up, but it hasn't actually "clicked". I have a feeling I'm gonna be one of the ones that has a good cry on the way to surgery the day of.

Two weeks away for me. Started the LSD today. I have my pre-op appointment with the surgeon next Thursday and I do believe just like you I will be tearing up like you from many emotions. Can't wait.

I’m going to surgery onJune 7th. Excited and full of nervous

*energy. Sorry for split post. My dog jumped on me.

So excited for you. Please post how everything went when you have time of course.

Good Luck.

I just got back from my one-week post-op visit. I don't have to crush my pills any more, which is a great relief. Nothing can ruin a spoonful of yogurt like a small pile of powdered medicine.

I can also go from the full-liquid diet to the puree diet. When I told him I didn't feel that excited about puréed meat, he said I could try some light, soft fish that I don't have to chew much. Or tuna.

Forgot to ask when I should start the vitamins, but I think it's pretty soon. I sent a message on their web portal.
