Got my surgery date....10 days to go!

[chumashlady 0]

I'm a newbie here and thought I'd share my excitement. I just got my surgery date, 7/25/11 and since then, everything seems as if it's going in fast-motion. I've started my pre-op diet yesterday and so far, so good. I'm reading all the posts I can on here and trying to get a feel as to everyone's experience so far. My daughter is getting married in December, so I'm already envisioning a great looking mother-of-the-bride's dress. Did anyone have any unrealistic expectations prior to surgery?

Good luck on your surgery. I am being sleeved on the 19th, only 6 days before you. I found the first 3 days were the hardest on the liquid diet, but then it gets easier.

I just wanted to look and feel pretty. My health was so declining that I needed to have WLS as revision to the gastric bypass I had 10 yrs ago. Preop was not a bad plan for me--I now am challenged by eating the solid foods. I am glad you are getting sleeved soon and wish you well. Ronda

That's exactly how I feel too- like I'm getting my life back. Best of luck to you, I'll be right behind you- my surgery is on the 29th!

Best of luck! Wishing you a smooth surgery and recovery! Looking forward to August when I "get my life back" too!
