No.. I'm not on the pre surgery diet yet.  They just called me today to tell me my date.  Not really sure about the pre-surgery diet.  They actually didn't mention that to me.  I have to go there next week, so maybe they will give me info about that then?  IDK
I am 246 pounds, 5'3 in height hoping to get down to 145.  My bday is in December and I hope I lose a good amount of weight by then.
I wish u the best of luck and I hope to compare notes with you after pre op

Congratulations to you as well.  I am getting the RNY.  I'm nervouse, excited all in one.  Are you on your pre surgery diet now?  I am on Optifast and just a handful of green vegetables. 
We'll have to compare notes when we get out of surgery!

I'm getting sleeved July 17th. However this is the second time I've had my surgery scheduled, so I am slightly skeptical and anxious... :)

 mine is not a specific diet.. I just have to be on low fat liquids only. So strained soups, protein drinks, broth, jello that sort of thing. Nothing with pieces in it.

I am heading to the doctor's in a few minutes for my pre op appointments.  I believe this is when I will get the liquid diet (HRM) and probably start tomorrow (Happy 4th)..and take it on vacation with me (guaranteed to not gain weight on vacation)..so it will be about 2 1/2 weeks.

Which diet are you doing? I have a ton of recipes if you'd like them.

Topic: 24th
 Well, my date has been set for the 24th of July. I started this back in Feb but due to life, I put it on hold for a couple of months. I started in earnest getting all my apts and working on getting things pushed through in early  June. I had most of my apts within a two week period and my insurance approved me one day after my Dr's office sent in my stuff. I got a date the next day, so time wise things have moved pretty quick for me. It's kinda scary! I was 5 weeks out when they set my date. 

I have to go on a two week liquid diet starting on the 10Th and have to be at the hospital at 530 AM the morning of surgery. 

My anniversary is on the 27Th so I will still be recovering for that, so hubby and I are going out this weekend to celebrate.
