My surgery is July 11th, I start my preop on July 5th. I've already started to replace a meal a day with protein shake.

Wow. Lots of July 11th. Prayers for everyone!

Thanks Mz Need da Sleeve..I will try them. I tried the Target Brand of vanilla... lets say I am NOT a fan! And the NOW sports Soy Isolate unflavored... Its def not flavored but the smell and the texture is on my list of will not try that again,,, Everyones different. I have found the ready to drink are easier to get down,,,

I have been moved to July 11th!! From the 18th Excited but super nervous!!! I have tried a bunch of protein shakes. Oh my. Some are good and some are NASTY! My kids are enjoying the faces from the taste testing!!! blessed beyond measure!!!

I have a new Date. July 11th. The Dr office asked if i could do it a week earlier,,,,,,I'm excited yet scared!!! I pray I will be healthier,I have 2 kids at home 8 & 15, 1 daughter (22) married with 2 granddaughters and my beloved little spunky 85 year old grandfather I take care of. (he doesn't know about wls surgery) I will tell him I need to fix my stomach to help my acid reflux. I have found a lot of support and wonderful ppl on this site. Thank you all and I pray for each one of us a safe and healthy journey! Steph.

My date is 95% changing from the 18th to the 11th!!!! I'm so nervous. I couldnt even talk straight on the Phn with my dr. Office. I go in the morning to find out the final details!!!!!!!!! This is really happening. This is my 3rd time to go through the pre-op stuff, and this time I WILL NOT let my nerves or my family talk me outta this.(I haven't told my family :-)) Super excited. yet scared to death. I usually don't do things for myself.

You have every right to have ALL the mixed emotions. This is my 3rd time to Go through the approval process. Each time I found a 'reason' not to proceed. Very unsupported family members helped changed my mind. (they do not know about the surgery this time) I Was approved in 2008 for bypass, (thankful now I didnt do the bypass) I know this is what I want, I still struggle everyday. I just think everyday how much this will improve my health and how I want to live healthier for the rest of my remaining life.

Good luck everyone!!!
