Hi everyone. My name is Steve I am scheduled for my sleeve on September 15 I am in NYC. I am beginning my pre-op diet although my doctor told me it is not necessary but I figured every pound I lose now is one less on the back end. It is starting to feel very real and I am beginning to feel the stress. I have been starting to have panic attacks as work is very crazy and I feel the stress of having everything done before my surgery. This is a very big life changing event and it is bit going to easy and I truly have no idea how thus it going to work out

Hi, Steve! I'm Debbie and have my surgery 9/15 in Nashville. The surgery is a big event for us and it is exciting thinking about the great changes in store. I cannot wait to start this new journey. Try not to worry too much about work. You can only do so much in a day. Good luck in your journey. You'll do great.

My surgery is scheduled for the 5th of September. I'm nervous and excited. The liquid diet is super hard. I have let 10 lbs already. I have had a couple meals while my husband was on business meetings. Although it would be easy to order anything while out I'm keeping to Soup and salad...it is not optifast.....in the week and half I've been on the liquid diet I've done this three times. I'm nervous that I've sabotaged my surgery but think it will be okay because I'm an still losing weight. I asked my husband not to invite me anymore so that while I'm home I can stick to the Optifast.< /p>

@@madamro don't do this from now in we were told that we have to stick to liquids for sure for the last week before they want the digestive tract to be as empty as can be. Some surgeons are so strict they have sent patrons back home if they did not stick to the liquids for the last week. So I am only liquid till my date at the 8th.

Good luck and all will be fine just don't slip anymore

My surgery will be September 15th. Not nervous yet, but trying out the post-op diet to see how it goes. I am in San Diego and have chosen to go to Tijuana for

Our surgery dates are close. Mines is the 19th. How are you feeling? You started your Preop diet yet?

I have started the pre-op diet. I "lost" 2 pounds of Water weight yesterday -would be nice if it all would be that easy. I am excited to actually be doing something to be ready and not just waiting.

I'm not very concerned about the surgery itself so no cold feet (yet). Mostly happy it is almost here. Good luck to,you!

My date is the 19th. So I will be right behind you.

Surgery on Wednesday. I think I'm just now starting to feel nervous. Up until this point I've been super excited. This is permanent, no going back. While looking forward to an improved me, I'm feeling a little scared right now.

Just one thing ........ Optifast ..... thats it . 4 shakes a day starting at 7 or 8 a.m. and every 4 hrs till my 4th one is gone. 2 weeks behind me and 1 week still to go. It is not that difficult.

      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.
