I'm feeling pretty good. I can drink without feeling it all go down and hit my stomach. I am going to walk this morning before it gets too hot here. I know I am still bloated from the fluids so I haven't been on the scale.

I was sleeved this past Monday. Came home yesterday afternoon. No real issues. Just a little sore but walking helps. I hope to take in more liquids tomorrow. Today was slow going but I got in 1 shake and 1 bottle of water plus 2 sugar free Popsicles.

I need to get my bag ready. I lives about 5 minutes from the hospital but I am sure I will be there extra early. Let the countdown begin!

That's awesome! I have to be there at 530am and my procedure is at 7am. I am very excited! Has anyone's weight been fluctuating up and down on the pre op? I am 2 lbs heavier today that yesterday and I did not cheat at all.

Congrats on your approval! I am scheduled for this Monday 7/21! I am doing well on my pre op diet but it is only 800 cal. My weight seems to be fluctuating up and down but I think its just Water retention because I have been drinking about 4 liters per day.

Hi! I am also July 21st!! I am ready to get this party started. LOL. I am right in the middle of my 2 week pre op diet. The first few days were a little rough for me but I am trying to throw myself into work to pass the time. I need to pack my bag and pick up some things for my post op diet. Let's stay in touch. I am definitely look for a few buddies to make this journey with.

I am on day 6 of my pre op diet. It's been a struggle but I am surviving. I am so ready for the 21st to get here.

Hi All! I am on day 4 of my 2 week pre op diet. My surgery is scheduled for 7/21 at 8am. My pre-op diet consist of 3 shakes and 2 Protein Bars per day with 1 freebie ( sugar free Jello). The first day was rough but today seems easier. I am a little concerned about the weekend but I know I have to push through it. I don't want my surgeon going in and saying "She cheated" My nutritionist told me he actually started a procedure on a guy and stopped it because his stomach was full of junk and he had not followed the pre op. Yikes! I would be so upset. Anyway I am looking forward to dropping a few more pounds before surgery.

My surgery is July 21st. I start my pre op diet on Monday July 7th. It's the optifast protein shakes, bars and soups. I am a little nervous about it but I know I have to push through it to get to the other side.

Those 6 months will Fly by! I started my process in Feb and my insurance required a 3 month documented diet. I thought I would never get to this point and my surgery is scheduled for July 21st.!

I completed my last required nutrition apt on June 3rd. All of my paperwork was submitted to Cigna on June 5th and I was approved on June 13th!! The earliest available date I could get in for surgery is July 21st... I was hoping for an earlier date so I guess I just need to be patient and wait it out.

I was approved by Cigna on Friday and I now have a confirmed surgery date of July 21st. I was hoping it could be sooner but the earliest date available for an endoscopy was July 15th. I have waited this long so I guess need to be patient a little longer!
