I start my 2 week pre-op liquid diet on Wednesday! I will admit to many food funerals over the weekend... as well as ice cream (only) for lunch today. Happily, my doc actually told me to "get all the foods you'll miss outa your system now" because if there is evidence of cheating on my pre-op diet he'll close up and not do the surgery. He said those that do have the food funerals tend to do better than those who self extended their diet due to boredom of pre-op foods and low self control while still having ghrelin. I was shocked & relieved to hear that. 24 hrs from now will be my last meal! So, so, so excited to finally be in the home stretch!

My sleeve was scheduled for July 7th but two days ago it was moved up to July 6th. I am going on vacation right before and I will have to start my two day liquid pre op diet during vacation. I was sad at first but

It's okay because it's definitely worth it to me. (Sorry I hit enter too soon).

I just met someone who was sleeved this past March. She said she feels really good and it was the best decision she had ever made. She said she has no regrets. That was nice to hear .... And I also wanted to share that on Amazon I bought an abdominal binder to wear for support when I get up and when I walk around. I'm hoping my stomach won't be too sore to wear it because I think the extra support will help. If not carrying a pillow pressed against your stomach helps too!

I had my initial appt today. Got cleared by the psychiatrist, talked to the surgeon and the nutritionist. Also had more blood work done. This process is so time consuming! It is driving me crazy waiting. I'm also a teacher and would like to get this done this summer. So I am still crossing my fingers for a July date. I have to get cleared next Tuesday by my doc. Then wait on results from today's blood tests. Then they send it all in to insurance. They said it can take up to a month!! But usually it is two weeks. I so need it to be two weeks or less! Anyway, super excited, but can't stand this wait!!

I'm getting my sleeve done on July 4th. I've known my date since early March, but I find as it gets closer and closer I am becoming much more nervous than I was previously.

I'm getting mine done in Mexico, my mom is coming with me.

I'm getting my July 4th in Mexico as well. Our Independence Day!!! I am going to Dr. Alvarez.

July 7th for me! I'm going on vacation for July 4th so I am going to thoroughly enjoy myself ! I am getting more excited but nervous about recovery. I am praying everyone's surgery and recovery goes smoothly!

Do you not have to do a pre-op diet?
