I am the same day!! I get worried too which I usually dont for surgery. I just want it over already, plus the preop diet is kicking my butt. I also find I am nesting at home. Like I did before having my son, Trying to get everything straight.

The diet definitely is no fun! I am starting to get things ready for my husband before the surgery. We have 5 kids so some of the stuff I'll have to wait & do last minute.

I'm scheduled for sept. 23Rd as well. Started pre op diet today. I'm proud I haven't cheated but so tempted to do so. I don't know how people can do this for over a week.

Hello! I am September 23rd, as well. I have a 5 day clear, sf liquid pre-op, so this is my third day of that. I had a hard time with it yesterday, but today has been pretty smooth, at least so far.

Nerves? Oh yes, but I keep reminding myself that I am at a huge danger just being my weight now. This surgery is life changing, so I am trying to look at it like the blessing it is. A year from now, we are ALL going to be in a much better, much safer place, physically!

Good luck to all and CONGRATULATIONS! We are taking the first step on an amazing journey!

(Oh, I am in San Diego, CA)

My surgery is September 23rd at 12 Noon. I've been on a clear liquid diet and have had no problems. In fact, I am feeling great. I am falling in love with the nectar brand Protein powders (especially the Roadhouse Lemonade and Fuzzy Navel). I mix with the Wyler's Light singles or Crystal Light and it tastes really good. I also like the Pure Protein shakes and the Atkins Cafe Caramel. I have 1/2 cups of SF Jello already made up! My Will and Health Directive are done and tucked away. No drama, should have updated my papers a long time ago. Looking forward to my surgery and praying for a good experience.

There is no turning back for me. This is it and I am ready. I don't worry because I trust God so I can't wait until Monday. To my fellow September 23rd Sleevers, sending prayers up for you all! God knows how much we want and need this surgery so he will take good care of us.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
