My surgery is schedule for 11am on Monday, October 29th. It seems a little unreal but I started my 2 week liquid diet today!

I work on a college campus so I spent my lunch break walking around and enjoying the beautiful weather outside. I am ready for this!

Mine is October 29th too.  I couldn't sleep last night.  I started my 2-week liquid diet today as well.  It's not too difficult so far.  I have had 3.  I figure one every 2 hours.  Tonight will be the true test for me.  Do you have a family to cook for?

Good luck to you on your pre-op diet.

I am married but I don't have any children. And during the work week, I stay with a friend  as my work is 1 and 1/2 hours away from my house. So I only have to worry about cooking on the weekends but my hubby will most likely be supportive in that he will eat a sandwich or something on his own.

Do you have a family cook for? How has it been?

I have noticed that my sense of smell is really heightened. I can pick up the slightest food smells and they are really strong. Have you experienced the same?

Congrats! My surgery is also for 10/29, but I have a different pre-op diet. Great idea on the walking at lunchtime!

I hope your surgery goes well.

What kind of pre-op diet are you on? I have noticed from these forums that each doctor is different!

Thank you!!  I'm doing the liver shrink diet~low/no sugar, low carb, high protein.  I've got 5 lbs off since Monday.

I noticed the differences too, it's a little confusing how something so major as WLS could have so many differences in pre-op diets, after-care, etc..

Are you nervous?  I've never had any type of surgery before, so I'm pretty keyed up.

My surgeon only requires a 10 day liquid diet, and I started mine on Saturday. My surgery is on 10-23-12.  The diet is hard at first, but it does get better.  Its not so much that I am hungry anymore, but just that I have a desire to eat.  Good luck to you!

I have noticed that it has gotten easier. The protein shakes do fill me up, it is just seeing or smelling food that can

Are you nervous for your surgery?
