I cant wait to start my water arobics.....surgery is August 6th so I have to wait a few weeks but its one of the best we can do! Have fun!

Hey there! My surgery is August 6th too.....Best of Luck to you and hoping you have a speedy recovery.....it'so exciting to start a new journey! Mary

im trying to stay as busy as i can.....we are on vacation so this is extra hard for me....but so far so good....yes, the olympics have been helping!

two weeks is plenty long enough for me....whew! )

My first week of the pre-op diet has been successful....it's an 800 calorie diet and the foods are pre-packaged from my Dr's office....today has been the worst day for me....(( i keep telling myself i only have 1 more week of this and its over....i have heard from several people this is the worst part of the surgery!

I'm on day 2 of the pre-op diet....i have food from the Dr's office that I can eat but its awful.....the snack bars are ok....800 calorie diet for 2 weeks, i was so hungry last night...but im going to be tough and make this work, i have waited to long for surgery and im so afraid if i cheat my surgery will be cancelled....

ok i would love to hear how people survive the pre-op diet, i started my 800 calorie pre-op diet today, so far so good but feel a little hungrier now than i have all day....will the hunger subside in a few days? I'm having surgery in 2 weeks and i plan on NOT cheating, i have waited to long for this surgery to happen and I dont want to jeapordize anything...

I pretty much did the 'food funerals' and then went on a diet 1 week prior to my pre op app wit hmy NUT and DR.....and whoa! they were not happy! I had only lost 3 pds and I had not been exercising either....Dr was very upset with me and let me know about it too.......i was almost in tears i thought she was going to cancel my Aug 6th surgery date and reschedule....she ask me why i hadnt been dieting and excersing before now, that i should have lost more weight than 3 pds....so please be cautious about the overeating, some Dr's will not do surgery until you lose a certain amoun t of weight to shrink the liver. I start my 800 calorie pre op diet this Sunday and trust me i will NOT cheat, she put the fear of God in me about losing weight pre op.....

Idk if that is normal or not...hopefully someone that has done the pre op already can answer that for you...

I had my pre op app yesterday and start the 800 calorie diet Sunday! Can't wait to get my sleeve on August 6th, looking forward to a happy healthy life soon! Anyone else having surgery in August?
