I got approved by my insurance today. Started my liquid diet and my surgery will be on May 19th. OMG what a day. I feel like I am dreaming. How hard sill the next two weeks of nothing but liquids be?

I am just about to blow up I have so many emotions run inside of me right now. Wow two more weeks and I will be sleeved. My new life will start.

The anticipation is the tough part :confused: I am sure going to liquids will be a tough change, but use your motivation and excitement for this process to help keep you on track. I did not have a pre-op, but I have done liquid diets in the past. Once you get past day 3 everything is smoother. Also enjoy the rapid weight loss the liquid diet will bring and just remember this time you won't be gaining it back! Stay positive and realize how this will get you to your goal. If you do struggle use your support systems to help get you back on track.

Your gonna rock the sleeve.

Many congrats on getting your date set. The sleeve is absolutely fabulous. I can't help you with the liquid pre-op because I just had to do low carb. You'll do great, and come here when you need support.

Congratulations! I am sharing in your excitement and anticipation as my surgery date is also May 19th. We can be sleeve buddies, and keep each other motivated as we each move along post-op, if you would like. I did my final pre-op appointment today with my surgeon and everything appears to be right on track to surgery day. Good luck on your 2 weeks liquid pre-op diet, it will be tough but you can do it. Just stay with it.

I am having my sleeve on the 19th too! I was suppose to have it done on the 20th but got moved up one day due to the hospital schedule. YAY! I'm so excited for you. I don't have to do the liquid diet but a low-carb diet. Looks like me, you and springlife are all on for the 19th!:thumbup:
