sepha1082 3 Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) I plan to go back to work the day after I go home. My surgery is August 4th. Hi All! I'm scheduled for August 6th. I agree that time seems to be crawling by. My surgeon has me starting the shakes/liquid diet a week from tomorrow. I'm tempted to pig out on all my favorite junk foods that I'll never eat again (at least not for a LOOOONG time) but I know I'd hate myself afterward. It's taken me months to lose 10 lbs and I'm sure without too much effort I could gain it back in a week! Been reading about the regret some folks feel immediately post surgery, like they've made a huge mistake by getting sleeved. Also heard from folks in a local sleeve support group to expect substantial Hair loss. Trying to stay positive and feel empowered about doing this but definitely a little scared. Can anyone relate??I attempted it but had no desire for those foods. On day 5 of my pre op diet. Edited July 25, 2015 by sepha1082 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sepha1082 3 Posted July 25, 2015 Hello, So I've been reading a lot of the post on here and I haven't posted anything myself just because I wasn't sure if it was even going to happen but I finally got my surgery date yesterday yay!!! My surgeon is requiring me to be on a liquid diet from now until my surgery date. Does anyone know if its possible to lose 15 pounds before August 6th?? Absolutely! The pre-op diet will do it.

rwoods200 39 Posted July 25, 2015 I wish I was already on my pre op diet! LOL! I have to do an entire week of liquids and then Clear Liquids the day before surgery. It still seems so far off but August 9th will be here before I know it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
