Got a surgery date!!

[kiya2te 26]

Hey hey. Just found out this morning that I got a surgery date. 10/9/17!! I'm super excited. I started my liquid diet yesterday because I received my insurance letter on Sat with an inpatient date of 9/28. When I spoke to the scheduler she said they had to put an arbitrary date for insurance but will call them and update it. I can't wait to be on the losers bench. I'm staying positive that these next two weeks on liquid only will fly by. Question...are we allowed to chew sugar-free gum during the liquid diet?? Any feedback will be appreciated. Thx

Congratulations! I'm 10/5. I don't know about gum before, just not after. No straws after. I've been on 2 wk pre op since Thursday. Down 14 lbs.

Congrats! I think it's so weird how the diets vary from doctor to doctor. I have one day pre op liquids only diet.

It is weird that they vary so much but good for you.

I was on Optifast and some vegetables for 2 weeks. It was the hardest part of this journey for me.
