Wow, it is really happening! Start my two-week pre-op diet tomorrow. Mostly excited, but a little nervous, too.
Yesterday I was looking at my profile, and I noted the coincidence that I joined this site on October 22nd of 2009, and almost 5 years later to the day I would finally be getting the surgery. Right now I'm on day 3 of my pre-op liquid diet, and it's been... interesting. I have managed not to cheat at all yet, which is great (especially because chicken was cooked for dinner last night). Anyway, so my surgery date is October 23rd, and I'm kind of nervous but also... kind of not? I've wanted this surgery for so long that I've been mentally prepping for it forever it seems.
My surgery is the same day! Im getting the DS.. good luck to you!
Congrats! It's getting close! Good luck to you with the DS. I'm going for the VSG but the DS looks very effective. Let us know how it goes for you! :)
I'm not sure why, but my surgeon only requires a liquid only diet the day before surgery. Almost everyone else I've seen on here or youtube has had at least a 2 week pre-op liquid diet. That's kinda concerning...
Then again, I have no idea how I'd make it 22 days on a liquid diet. You must have some amazing will power! Just a few more days until your surgery... keep it up! After surgery it's all down hill from there. Don't look at the cheating as failures, look at the 22 days you've stuck to this horrific diet! That's a huge accomplishment. Congrats!
My surgery date is October 1st so we're just shy of a week apart. I don't know about you but it's starting to feel "real" now. How are you keeping it together with your surgery so close?
Good luck!! and Keep in touch! 
I'm having VSG surgery on October 1st. It's getting so close, and I'm starting to get very anxious.
Anyone have any tips for those before surgery jitters?
