I'm October 14th. Now on my 5 day pre-op diet. So far so good.

I so get that!! I just poured a cup of decaf tea! Try it! It's very soothing!

I think they have to send you their Facebook screen name

me too! ????Ladies! I like the page for October sleevers. I found adding ice to my shake in the blender helped. I had some crunch and I made it last longer. Tonight was better than last night. We can do this!

@@cwish I'm hanging in there. Early evening is hard for me but I'm doing good! I tried your no water after the shake tonight. I'll let you know, I'm still slowly drinking it. ????

Just came home to make my second shake "dinner" today's been tuff I'm hungry right now and just want something. Chicken, broccoli..... Have to keep reminding myself of the goal'

Never mind I got it to stay. That was strange.

@toasty. I can go to the link but it then takes me to the Internet and won't load. It looks like a great page. Any suggestions?

@@Newtum For me it's the same. I know eventually we will be able to eat food again. I just worry what the permanent things I won't be able to do, will be. And never wanting to gain it back. I hear stories of people who have, and as so many people in this site have said, "everyone has an opinion about what we are doing". I just sat next to a woman who thinks this is really dumb and I shouldn't do it and she wasn't exactly nice as she said it. I'm sure if I told her to quit smoking she would have a reason she can't. So I just keep reading the success stories, remind myself this is for me only. (And my grandson)! So yes I'm nervous and every other minute I want to change my mind. But I know better and in a year this will be the best thing I did for me! (This is me telling myself this as much as you!).

@@cwish I did my last supper Friday night. It was so good.

I'm on the 14th and my doc gave me Wednesday for my pre-op to start, too.great! Thank you both!!

@@cwish thanks! I've gone back and forth. I even had dreams about it last night. LOL.

So I'm curious, my NUT is on vacation. Your surgery is the 14th too, right? I was thinking I had to start today as the day before is all clear liquids. However I was thinking I could wait til exactly 2 weeks. Thoughts?

@@Mega_100 I'm starting today!!

@cwish. Yes, I fear I'm reading to much, I just want to be prepared. I really hope the next two weeks go faster than I think!

@@cwish, I put in a request to join.

I don't know how to set one up but I am interested. Let me know.

I'm October 14th, too

So happy to find a local page. My surgery is Oct. 14th with Dr. Jawad. Next week starts my 2 week diet. Any suggestions from those already through the process?

Elode, Thank you so very much!!

Elode, thank you for your affirmation! My surgery is set for Oct 14th. Any words of wisdom?

Thank you for your testimony!
