sr3737 1 Posted August 31, 2014 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madamro 0 Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) 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> Edited August 31, 2014 by madamro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nowornever14 36 Posted August 31, 2014 @@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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Allgood 30 Posted August 31, 2014 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BetterNai88 54 Posted August 31, 2014 Does anyone with a 09/25 date have to do a preop liquid diet? Mine begins on 09/11. For those already on liquid diets what are you having? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nowornever14 36 Posted August 31, 2014 Does anyone with a 09/25 date have to do a preop liquid diet? Mine begins on 09/11. For those already on liquid diets what are you having? 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.
