My surgery is in 13 days... I am also freaking out, had my pre op blood work and EKG today and have my surgery clearance spot with my internal med doc on Tuesday... Then pre op with surgeon on 9th. Time seems to be going fast... I am noticing I am having somewhat difficult time mentally on this liquid diet, it's sad how much food is has a hold of me... All the cravings are kicking in just because i can't have it at the moment and I know it's just my head... Trying to really pay attention to it and change my way of seeing food and and keep staying busy. I told someone today about my surgery and they asked me if I am excited... I feel like I can't get excited because I know it will be tough and since I am revision from lap band I am scared I won't lose my extra weight... Wow....guess i needed to let things out here lol I can certainly relate Username taken! I have surgery clearance with PCP on the 5th, pre op blood work on the 16th, Pre op with surgeon, nutrition and surgery nurse on the 17th. At this stage I really don't know what to feel. I did well with the no carbs phase, but the 2 week liquid protein diet has me worried. I'll be praying for strength for you!! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Hi Harley, Baton Rouge here, but anticipating surgery soon with Dr Richardson at Ochsner. Who is your doc and where are you at in this journey if you dont mind me asking. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

-Being able to fit in a booth without having to "suck it in". -crossing my legs. -being able to shave my legs without pulling a muscle. -sleeping without my c-pap. -getting off BP meds. -taking a shower without getting out of breath. -being able to take a nice hot bath and ALL my body parts are under water! -not thinking about food constantly. -making love with my husband without feeling ashamed of my body. Are just a few.......???? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

So sorry to hear about your son. I will be praying for him. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

All I have left is the EGD and 2nd Nutritionist appt. Hopefully I will get a surgery date soon. My insurance only requires 2 week pre op liquid diet. Kind of nervous as this is a revision from a gastroplasty from back in the early 90s.
