Anyone else have a surgery date of Sept 26?

That is my surgery date and I have to go on a 2 week liquid diet starting on the 12th so I am going to Red Lobster today for the last time for a while. I think I am more nervous about the 2 week diet than the actual surgery. I am afraid I will feel so deprived that I am going to slip up. I hope I have the willpower to do this diet because I sure dont want to mess up my surgery at this stage of the game!

Michelle: My surgery is on the 15th, I started my liquid diet on the 1st. I'm gonna be honest with you it is very tough. It is not necessarily the food I miss but chewing. So, I have been chomping away on gum. Try to keep yourself busy and drink lots and lots of water or crystal light to help keep you full. And, if you need any support email me, I'm here for ya girl!!! You can do it, keep your eye on the prize at the end!!! Hugs, Jill

Hello Michelle, My name is Joy and I also have a surgery date of Sept 26. I go for the per-op nutrition meeting on Tue the 6th. I am also going out to eat at all my favorite spotts and YES I am getting DESSERT. (LOL) I told my husband it is my fair well fat fest. The Dr. may not like it but I am eating whatever I want now to get it out of my system. So I know how you feel. Good Luck.

Hi Michelle. My date is Sept 26 too! Why the liquid diet? My surgeon hasn't said anything about being on a liquid diet before the surgery. You've had the courage to come this far I know you'll do what needs to happen before your surgery!!

Hey there, I am also scheduled on the 26th. How exciting. For me this process started about two years ago. but actually started the approval process May this year. Well I know that even though this is going to be a long and hard process, it will actually be worth it. I am fortunate that I do not need to do the liquid diet for two weeks just low carb diet for 3 weeks. Wish you well with your surgery and see you on the other side. Now go out there and be a loser. LOL Bill

My surgery is the 23rd. I only have to do a 1week liquid diet. Someone asked why the liquid diet.. it's to shrink your liver and "get it out of the way" for surgery! I was all prepared to start mine, then found out I had to push my date out 2 weeks... so now I'm gonna enjoy food for a couple weeks more! LOL! Can you say CHEESECAKE! hehehehehehe

Hi my surg is the 7th I have been on my liquid diet now since the 28th it is not easy but you can do it!!! Laura

Hi Michelle, I am also a Michelle sch for RNY on 9/26 too! Good luck with your liquid diet, that will be hard, but you can do it!! I was told to try to lose 10 pounds before sx to help "shrink my liver". They just told be to eat healthy and stay away from the Junk. So far so good, although has only been 1 day!!! LOL Good luck to us, Michelle

HELLO!!!!! I am also having surgery on 9/26!!! Everyone lets keep in touch!! I was told to lose 10 pounds prior to surgery!!! I have come too far to slip up now!!! I have been having lots of last meals lately !! After my birthday this weekend, I am going to put myself on a serious liquid diet even though my surgeon didn't. Wish me luck yall. This is gonna take some serious will power but I don't want to get my surgery cancelled or postponed, because I lose insurance coverage on 9/30. SO you know it is serious!! I have waited too long for this....I will go on the liquid diet with you Michelle if you want to post your progress here. Miss Virgo
