Got my surgery date for August 15th! 10 day all liquid diet starts on the 5th and I am nervous about it, but mostly excited because it means surgery is right around the corner. Any other August people in here? How are you? What are you doing to prepare for the big day? Look forward to hearing everyone's story

It was good!!! Quite a bit of information lol.

Hey! I’m scheduled for the sleeve on August 2nd.

My date is Aug 3. On my liquid diet and doing well. I’m having a Nissen redu at the same time, so really glad to be getting it done. My concern is getting enough protein in….

Hi, me and my wife both have surgery August 17th, flying out on the 15th. Both very excited!

I'm excited to have a vital tool to help me along my journey.

My husband is excited for me and very supportive.

I worry about things like I'm sure most individuals are, like blood clots, hair loss and general pain. But I figure I've come this far, and I'm in it to succeed!

Welcome all!

I agree with @tamra. Feeling all the things. And like @MeNotYou worried about losing my hair is one of those things. I’ve always had great hair, and now I’m messing with that one thing…but still ready for it! Also, as an avid baker, wondering how I’ll do with no sugar, but willing to only bake savory and eat little if it. Goodbye my beloved crème brûlée…

It’s dumb, some of the things I worry about, especially since I’m aiming to avoid cancer with this surgery. Vanity and food addiction!

Keep your eye on the prise so to speak.

I have my surgery on Aug 3rd! Started my liquid diet already. Excited and hoping this isn't something I regret down the road but to embrace it and give myself a chance to be happy and healthy.
