I hear ya, i was scheduled for my sleeve back in April and the called and canceled my surgery the day before it was suppose to happen.

And rescheduled me for the 28th of June

I was so ready to have it done then..mentally and physically

I was devastated when it happened, and i feel like I’m not as prepared this time

I’m sorry you had to be rescheduled 🙁 but you’ve got this. Nerves are probably getting the best of you because of the long wait you’ve had. I’m sure you’ll be fine the day of 😉

@Lauren26 Hello and welcome! I plan to have RNY bypass and have my last appointment July 16th. I will have some testing but hope to have surgery in August. So, we are on a similar timeline it seems.

Yea that’s what i use to get my Water in a lot

Just not a fan of plain Water

I’m hoping my time stays there or pushes back some i live a little over a hour from the hospital

So it’s gonna be a early drive with morning traffic into Boston

The hospital I’m having surgery at is a less than 10 minute ride away. Gonna get there early and hopefully they will get all of the day of pre-op testing out of the way pretty quickly. I’m so anxious but not in an “I’m so scared/nervous” type of way. More of an “I’m excited and want to get this over with and start my new healthy life” type of way

On the topic of water...

I love Water, but even I get sick of it. Someone on this board turned me on the Powerade Zero and O M G it is so good! It tastes just like kool-aid to me. My favorite flavors are Grape and fruit Punch. (There is quite the lively debate somewhere on this board about the Grape flavor!)

@ALFxRNY - This is how I imagine I will be on all stages of liquid/puree food

Me on the purée stage. Although I hear you can have ricotta bake at that stage so not too awful 😂😂😂
