Yes! On day 2 of liquid diet now. But I’m getting nervous about the surgery

They have me starting on the 20th for liquid diet. I'm nervous too! This is actually my second time round scheduling VSG. I chickened out 2 yrs ago... But this time I'm gonna do it! Ready for change. Best of luck to you!

May 9th!

I'm with you both too! Surgery May 2nd and started liquid diet yesterday. I had pre-surgical testing yesterday and had to sign off on a bunch of scary paperwork with my surgeon!

My surgery date is May 17th as well. I’m excited but nervous about the new journey I’m about to go on. Good luck to us all!

Started my liquid diet today ugh lol, Surgery May 3rd. I have mixed emotions, sometimes I am nervous and anxious while other times I am calm about it because I know it needs done for better health. I think its just the surgery itself that makes me nervous. I dont think its following the program I hopefully will not have an issue with that. Hoping these jitters go away

I'm may 2nd, and I have all the same feelings!

So nervous and upset. I thought I had allergies (well I do, but I thought that's all I have) but now it's turned into a full blown head/sinus cold. And I'm supposed to go for my pre-op blood work tomorrow and have surgery in 2 weeks!!!! I can almost guarantee my surgery is going to be rescheduled, and I'm so upset about it!!!!

My pre-op testing was yesterday and I developed sinus/cold end of last week. I even went to urgent care on Easter and got a steroid shot and antibiotics. I was so worried that yesterday they would tell me my surgery would need to be postponed. They ended up reassuring me that it was OK and my surgery would proceed as scheduled as long as I wasn’t sick on surgery day. Hopefully it will be the same for you.

Thank you!!! This is what I needed to hear. The timing of this weather change and allergies is so stupid. It's always my luck lol

Mine is May 2nd.

Me too! Best of luck to you

My gastric bypass is scheduled for May 23rd. I’m over the nervousness and am excited for a new chapter. I’ve read and watched as many YouTube videos as possible. What are everyone’s favorite protein powders/shakes? I’m still looking for mine.
