John.L 25 Posted July 17, 2014 I just scheduled my surgery for July 31st so this is my group! I go in for my pre-op tests on Monday. I am self-pay so I was able to "fast track" the process... unfortunately my insurance has a specific exclusion so that wasn't an option for me, but I think the long-term benefits will outweigh the costs. I'm very nervous though. 2 Dallas_P and SAP78 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ausdrew 6 Posted July 18, 2014 We have made it to Mexico. So far I'm so impressed. The hospitality is #1. I go to the hospital tomorrow morning around 645 I should be done by noon. Today has been long , we have been travelling since 3 am and we are tired. Turning in early. Getting excited and I have everything to lose. Meaning that in a good way!!! Blessings to all who are still waiting... it will be here before you know it.

mick 99 Posted July 18, 2014 5 more days before my surgery. The doc said I had already lost more than he asked me to so don't worry about the liquid diet for these last few days. Because of my strenuous work I have lost size as well as weight on my new job. Was 282 and now 251 I have an omelette with cheese with a Protein Drink before going to work and still losing weight. Drinking tons of Water and soaking wet with sweat at work. Feels good! 1 SAP78 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texas Jess 29 Posted July 18, 2014 Sounds like everyone is doing well! I was having the Plication but I changed my mind and decided to to just go ahead and get sleeved! My surgery is still on the 23rd. Pre op is going well, however, last night I blew it and had some stir fry... I felt terribly guilty after I came out of my coma! Lol I have lost 9 lbs so I'm happy for that. 1 MistyAnnMoon829 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dallasreno 8 Posted July 18, 2014 Started my 5 day liquid diet today. Surgery is scheduled for the 23rd. Ate my last meal last night - rack of ribs and a cold stone ice cream. Things are getting serious. 2 CandyPants81 and fccm04 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onthefencejenny 204 Posted July 18, 2014 Well my surgery is July 25th! I've been on the liquid diet since Monday and have lost 9.5lbs so far! One more week to go! I'm starting to freak out a little and wondering I this is what I should be doing! The liquid diet is challenging that's for sure and I wonder if I can live off liquids and SOft foods for the next 6 weeks! Anyone else feeling like this? 2 SAP78 and CandyPants81 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The liquid diet is challenging that's for sure and I wonder if I can live off liquids and SOft foods for the next 6 weeks! Anyone else feeling like this? I know what you mean. My only comfort as far as food is concerned is that HOPEFULLY I just won't be as hungry after the surgery. This two weeks of liquids has been one of the hardest things I've ever done...and I can't even say I was 100% faithful to this diet. It's gotten to the point where I'm fantasizing about pureed foods now. Trying to think of things to keep me busy for the next few days. 1 SAP78 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
