surgery date is June 9th

I cant wait....although the liquid diet scares the hell out of me.

I understand.  My date is June 29th.  The "after" eating is what scares me too.  I guess because we don't know exactly what to expect.  I found a terrific book "The Expert's Guide to Weight Loss Surgery" by Dr Garth Davis.  It has a ton of info and has really helped me.  But I guess until we cross the bridge we won't really know what waits for us.  I have read we really won't be hungry so hopfully it won't be any real challenge! Good luck to you! 

I will definately get that book...thanks....the reason I am so afraid of the before diet is that I am a diabetic...and am afriad that I will get sick...low blood sugar....and wow after years of overeating to survive on liquids only for 5 days is scarry....good luck also to you yea! june 29th!

Oh, sorry I misunderstood.  Yeah that would be scary.  Has your doctor given you the types of liquids you can use?  Will it be protein drinks?  If so hopefully they will stabilze your blood sugar.  I don't know yet if I will have to go on pre op liquids.  My pre op visit is June 22nd.  My understanding is that the liquid diet is to help reduce the size of the liver so it isn't difficult to get around during surgery.  So much for your "last meal" splurge!

lol..yeah really...forget  about that last big fat juicy cheeseburger...funny they didnt say anything about protien drinks...said I could have slimfast...

Hi, you guys!
I just found out this last Thur. that my surgery date is probably June 9th as well. If something comes up (which they don't think it will it will be scheduled for the 29th. I will find out for 100% certainty on Monday. I am so excited as you guys are too.

About the liquid diet have you checked with the doc about that? I'm sure they have great answers for you so your not worried about the low blood sugar cuz that can be scary. Anyway, lets raise our glasses (of soon to be protein drinks)  to us all and our new lives about to emerge! :) 

Hey!  June 9th here too... I'm scared as heck too but good luck to everyone!!  Hope all goes well!!!

My date is also June 9th!!  I am so ready for this surgery, I see June 9th as my new life begins.  I have been on a high protein liquid diet since May 26th and it is really not as hard as I thought it would be.  I am too scared to cheat I want my liver to shrinks so my doctor will have no problems.  Wish you all the best in your new life!

My surgery was on June 9th.  I'm on a clear liquid diet.  Frankly, I don't feel like eating at all.  Don't seem to have hunger.  Its tough to get all 64 oz in when you can only do 1-2 oz at a time.  But... I'm in the dr's hands and will follow the plan as prescribed.  Good luck to you all.
