Congratulations..you're going to do great!!  My surgery is on 2/14/13 and I know how you feel.  I can't wait for it to be here but then I get real nervous...which I'm sure is normal.

Good luck and keep us posted!!

Good Luck !!

I can't wait until I'm able to give post op updates.

Yay!  Congratulations!  Same for me, totally excited, and yet totally freaked out. 

I know the feeling !!

Do you have to do the 2 week liquid diet?

Hi, Soontobesleeved!  I'm not required to do the two-week diet, just two days, but I'm going to do a ten day one anyway.

My surgery date is also FEB 7!! looks like we'll be in this together

That's cool I have a surgery buddy.  Make sure you post as soon as you feel up to it.

Are you nervous?? Do you have to do the 2 week liquid diet??

I am so excited!! more so than nervous. I have been going through this process for a year so I am more than ready. Yes I have to do a 2 week liquid diet, I start it the 24th. How about you? I also have to do a 6 week liquid diet after surgery :( not looking forward to that. At least I know I will lose a whole bunch of weight! I have a feeling ill be posting in the hospital!

I start on the 24 th too.  My post op consists of:

2 days clear liquids ( right after surgery)

2 weeks full liquids ( back to the good ole protein shakes)

2 weeks pureed and soft foods

Then finally back to solid foods, but my surgeon stressed don't ru**** 

Hopefully I will be posting a lot from the hospital too.  Come on 2/7
