TODAY'S THE DAY!!!!!!!! I am so nervous! 2 weeks of liquids (I didn't think I was going to make it). Sending prayers up for us all who will be having surgery today! Congratulations!!!

I'm scheduled the 14th as well here in CO with Dr. Fisher. I am feeling like that is going to be my lucky day from now on. I am so excited that I can barely contain myself. My big thing is how to survive my 10 day preop liquid diet, which I start tomorrow! Begin mental stress overload in T minus 28 hours and counting. Good luck to you!!

My changes of being an August VSG'r are becoming slimmer HA! I am so made at myself. The nurse I was seeing for nutrition PCS'd (permanent change of station) in June. I need three months prior to surgery. Mind you I have been seeing her since last June! Anyway, I did not go in July. Honestly, it slipped my mind with everything else going on and I didn't really want to go to a new person. So I made and appt for this Friday. Not sure if BCBS will let me slide. Anyway, I ran into my surgeon, I was at the hospital the other day. I will have my final test result back today. The problem is he is leaving for Peru to speak at a conference and won't be back until August 9th. I am not sure if it will give me enough time.

Anyway, good luck to all those who have dates!!!

Congrats to you and good luck....I'm trying to learn how to use this site...kinda different. : ) LOL I have to do a 30 day diet which I'm allowed 5 Protein shakes a day and 2 Protein Bars and 2 cups of certain veggies and 1 cup of certain fruit. Surgeon is trying to decrease the size of my liver. I'm excited for this next chapter in my life.

Wow, 30 days!! I am on a 2 week Protein diet (3 shakes, 2 bars, certain veggies)...am on day 10 today and it's really hit me how tired I am. I think the pre op diet is key in that it helps us mentally and physically prepare for limited food intake. By the time we have our surgery and are "forced" to limit our food, we'll be pros!!

In other news...August 6th is right around the corner!! My anxiety level gets a little higher every day. Today someone brought in a box of donuts and I have to admit, it was REALLY difficult not to dive head first and inhale.

Yeah for us August sleevers!! We are gonna be HAWT come next summer!!
