August 2023 Surgery Buddies!

[kayhay0714 13]

Got my surgery date for August 15th! 10 day all liquid diet starts on the 5th and I am nervous about it, but mostly excited because it means surgery is right around the corner. Any other August people in here? How are you? What are you doing to prepare for the big day? Look forward to hearing everyone's story

It’s great that there’s a cohort of us! I’m not on any sort of pre-diet yet really, but it will be starting soon. I’m happy about this, even though weight loss is only part of the reason I’m doing it. They’re addressing my Barrett’s Esophagus too, which will be a relief.

How are you all feeling?

I'm so excited for us all! I had to look up what Barret's Esophagus is, and that sounds like it would be really uncomfortable. I am sorry you have had to deal with that, and here's to hoping for relief and weight loss for you!

Hi friends! My bypass date is 8/7! It feels surreal that it’s actually happening after such a long process for insurance approval. Some days I’m really excited and some days I’m terrified. My one week liquid preop diet starts 7/31.

Congrats Emgo! It’s a wonderful thing to start the tail end of the preop process, isn’t it? Finally feels real.

Congratulations! So exciting! How are you feeling about the liquid diet, for whatever reason it's the thing I am most nervous about.
