6 more sleeps until my surgery! 8 days into my pre-op diet and my appetite is almost nil. I rarely feel hungry, but I am getting my Protein in and following my groups plan. I've been in nesting mode and cleaning my house (and yelling at my family to keep it clean lol) like I always do before every surgery. How's everyone else doing?

A week from tomorrow is my surgery. 03/24. I fly out to Vegas on Monday. Pre op diet has been pretty good. Ive been drinking two Protein Shakes and one of my Leftover Jenny Craig meals. Im over my UTI and have used some of the urinalysis test strips to check my ketones. Im in fat burning mode, hopefully that means my liver is shrinking as expected

Ooh wow I can remember counting down the days too. How exciting it is waiting to begin this great journey. Congratulation on your surgery date.

Congratulations I’m 8 days away. I’ve lost 6 pounds so far but gain two due to my period coming ugh. I need it to be over before my surgery. One less thing to worry about.

At least yours will be gone. I was due to be on mine and I skipped the white pills on my bc to try and keep it away but had never tried that so I was worried the whole time that it was going to start all the way up to surgery day. And afterwards too really. It never did thankfully but I would’ve much rather just had it the week before and been done with it.

My surgery was supposed to be tomorrow. My 2 week modified-liquid went great. I was down the 25 pounds my surgeon wanted. I took the required Covid test yesterday and failed! I'm feeling fine, just a minor cold, but the surgery has been put off until June 21. I'm completely devastated. Very sad not to be joining the rest of you March surgery buddies. I'm not sure what the next 90+ days will bring.

Well hopefully you will remain pretty much asymptomatic but at least you got the heads up so you don’t spread it and so that you don’t have to recover from surgery while your body is fighting COVID too. I know it sucks to be postponed but your surgery date will come and go before you know it. Trust me. I am a year out now and can’t believe it how fast that year went by.

🎺🎺🎺Just got my sleeve done on March Fourteenth! In some pain, and I will be for a little while, but even just these 2 weeks of liquid dieting has shown me that we can DO THIS! Just stick to the plan! Everyone, I wish you all the strength you need to commit! I am DOING THIS and YOU ARE TOO! WE. WILL. BE. SUCCESSFUL!!! 🎺🎺🎺

I am so sorry, I can't even imagine. Hopefully the time will go quickly.

RNY was yesterday. It was rough yesterday during the day but yesterday evening until now, I have been feeling great. Lots of walks around the nurses station and lots of Water. The broth is freakin amazing too.
