My date is August 3rd, too!  I am very excited.  I have had days were I was kinda sad, too... don't really know what that was all about.

Some people said that I was having the 'two-week freak'.   But, I am feeling better now!  I hope all of you are having a good day and looking forward to our new lives!

How is your full liquid diet going?  I am sure that that sucks quite a bit.

I am doing the lowfat diet.  The day before surgery, I have to go to all clear liquids.  In the early evening I have to drink an entire bottle of magnesium citrate... Oh, that is gonna be one heck of an experience!!

I hope that you are doing well and looking forward to your surgery!

How long have you had your band?  I take it that you did not like it?  So, you are having a sleeve done now? 

Good luck!  I am sure that you will not need it!

I, too, am having the DS surgery on August 3rd!!  I am so very happy for all of us.

My doctor has me on a two week low fat (less than 40-50 grams/day) diet.  The day before surgery is all clear liquids with a wonderful Magnesium Citrate drink in the early evening....

I hope everyone is excited for their surgeries!

Good luck!  For those that have Dr. Almanza, I'll bet we'll all end up meeting each other the morning of surgery or maybe after.  Are either of you staying at the recovery house afterwards?

Yes!  Let's all try to stay in touch so we can help each other through the recovery process.

I feel like my surgery date is my new Birthday too!

Hopefully in the next few days I will get a picture up and posted so my profile will have a face.  LOL  Also, gotta get those before pics taken.

Hugs

(Luckily I don't start my all liquid diet til the 3rd)
