I now have a surgery date!!

I will be having surgery on January 23, 2013!  I have to go to a seminar on the 15th and have final testing that day as well.. Then I will do a one week liquid diet before surgery.  I think I should do a two week liquid diet because I ate really bad during the holidays!  Does anyone else have surgery on the 23rd?  And does anyone have advice on the liquid diet?

Congrats on your sleeve date!!! Keep us posted on your journey!

Mine is the 28th. Not sure what diets I will have to do preop. I will go for testing the 14th. Then I will know more. Congrats and good luck

My doctor normally requires a 2 week pre-op diet, but is only making me do 1 week. Not sure why. Maybe because I'm considered a light-weight. I was considering doing the 2 week anyway. Good luck!! Keep us updated!!

Hey Jen,

I too have been scheduled for the 23rd of January!! I start my 2 week OptiFast diet on the 9th. Have the Endoscopy on the 15th and Pre-Op registration on the 16th. I am very excited yet bugged because my surgery is not until the afternoon. I arrive at the Hospital at noon to check in. What am I going to do all morning while WAITING!!!  I look forward to hearing how you are doing through the process.

I just found out today that mine is scheduled for the 23rd as well. I look forward to reading about your experience as well!

My date is in 12 days now!! My dr wants a 2 week pre op diet. the first week protien shake for breakfast...protien shake for lunch and a small dinner..like lean chicken and a small amount of veggies... then week 2 is diffrent...ill find out more on that next week. My advice ...start 3 weeks lol its taken me days to actually be able to stick to it! Kind of ease into it might work better! good luck! very excited for you! well heck... im excited for me too!
