Congratulations. I'm envious. Mine is the 14th of December but I started this journey in July 2021, so any extra days is a loooonnnng wait you'll do well. I haven't had this surgery before but I've had 36 surgeries and so I don't really get nervous anymore. I just can't wait! You're so close to a new life in a new body!

I’m on the same boat mine is November 28th this two weeks of liquid is hard

I’m scheduled for December 5. I’m skipping thanksgiving with my family bc we can’t seem to make it out if a family gathering without a COVID outbreak and I do not want my surgery delayed.

I’m going through the emotions as well. It’s the first time I feel nerves about the procedure and long term after effects.

Not nervous about the liquid diet so much. I just had my 4 hour nutritional class Thursday and was surprised we aren’t on liquids only longer. I’ve been able to do a juice cleanse for 21 days in the past so I know I can get through the liquid only portion of this.

Right now I’m particularly fixated on concerns around hair loss which I am just learning is a potential side effect.

My surgery is the same day. I started the liquid diet on 11-14. It hasn't been too bad except for day 3. On day 3 i was so hungry for some reason but I made it past and it has gotten better. I was told to drink 4 protein shakes a day and that has been difficult for me, i so full after 3 shakes i struggle to get the 4th one down but i am doing it. We have come this far almost on the downside so hang in there, we can both do this and the 28th will be here before we know it! Wishing you the very best, it will be so worth it!!

I am scheduled Nov 28th. I am not going to thanksgiving either not because of covid (I have a really small family, just three of us) but because I know myself and the temptation to eat might be too much, and I am not taking any chances either! I got for my 4 hour nutrition class on Nov 22nd. I will have a week to go ont the liquids after that.

I am with you on the hair loss. My hair is baby fine now so this is a real concern. My surgeon said to expect some hair loss but that it will grow back, which is some comfort. In the meantime, I will go buy a wig if it gets too bad

I wish you the best, you will do great!!
