How is your liquid diet going?

Its not too bad. My diet is not all liquid. I can have unlimited carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and cucumbers so when I start to get too hungry I eat some carrots. Its just enough to keep me from having a headache but not enough to make me happy. lol Are you feeling better?

Thanks! Just sent my request.

You are so lucky! I wish I didn't have a pretty open diet. I start Monday for 2 weeks.

Taken me ten years to get this far in our programme but on Tuesday it's surgery time.

Wow that's a long time! Good thing you didn't quite along the way. Congrats.

So exciting!!! It okay to be nervous, that means you understand how big of a commitment this is! You're going to do just fine! It was the best decision I've ever made. Changed my life in many ways!

Thanks for the encouragement!

Twinsies! I'm not looking forward to it either, but my dr lets us eat 1 lean Protein a day with a green veggie. I just can't imagine making it on Protein  shakes only. I have one for Breakfast every morning and it goes right through me.

Same for me. I start on Monday.

As ready as I'll be. I have been doing this since last May so I was starting to get a bit frustrated it was taking so long. So right now I'm excited. I assume I'll start to get a bit more nervous once liquid diet starts. You?

May 1st is my date also. I'm ready, but dreading the pre-op diet.

Awesome!
Are you excited?

Anybody give you crap about getting it done in Mexico?

I'm very excited. No one has really given me crap because only my husband and one of my cousins know about any of this. I dont have any idea what they would say so I figured it would just be easier this way. I'll probably end up telling them after its done. Are you getting negative comments?

I'm May 1st with ALM.

Hello all! My RNY is end of May. The 30th. So still a ways for me it seems. I am from Canada so the process seems slower. I was referred in March and have did all my appointments June to December. Now just a pre-op and then Surgery! I am trying to keep myself busy by getting some thing done so I can relax and focus on my recovery. I am hoping to be off work fro the month of June, however I am not sure yet.

I wish I could take a month off! Unfortunately I have to go back as soon as I feel well enough.

Yes Thank you so much!!!! Im May2nd so we can keep in touch. Do u have instagram? Im vsg_melissaadriana

I just started following you.

My surgery date is May 1st and at first I was feeling the same way. As soon as I finalized the last of the plans I got extremely nervous and it lasted for a whole week. At one point I was thinking that I was going to worry myself into an ulcer or something and then I wont be physically able to have it done. Luckily that only lasted about a week and now Im more excited than anything. I dont even know what changed. I just woke up one day and felt different. Hopefully you will get over it as well. I agree with the others about praying and follow your instincts. Im guessing its natural to worry about what can go wrong, but maybe you can think more about how your life can change for the better instead. That should help you calm down.

We can certainly do this together since we are in similar situations!

I've been in this process since July. I'm getting sleeved on May 2nd

Hi! Its getting close. Are you excited or nervous? I'm very nervous but there's no turning back now.

Im kind of worried about being able to drink also. I know two people that had wls several years ago and both of their alcohol tolerance is very low to this day. If I have to give it up I will but I sure hope not.

I also have the Garmin Vivosmart HR and I like it a lot. I had the Vivoactive at first but there was something about it that I didn't like so I exchanged it. I cant remember what it was though.

Congrats! That's very inspiring.

I'm also may 1st but I'm bypass. I know exactly how you feel, except it has taken me a year with all of my insurance requirements. They called me last Friday and I almost panicked... Like, wait a minute, what did I get myself into! LOL. I even said that to the lady calling to schedule me. I know we are not getting the same surgery, but we can totally be surgery buddies! I haven't found anyone with my date yet : )

Just confirmed May 1st as my date. I'm nervous already.

May 1st is my surgery date. This all happened very quickly for me. I started researching the sleeve about 3 months ago and now its a reality. I finally got my husband on board and the time off from work so I paid my deposit today. Even though I have researched endlessly and done a tone of planning as soon as I hit send on the deposit I got extremely nervous. Its a good thing I don't have too long to wait because my nerves couldn't handle it!
