I was sleeved on the same day and I have lost 7 lbs as well. However the last 2 days I have gained a pound both days. I don't know how this is possible since I am eating so few calories. I have just been trying to drink as much water as I can to see if maybe my body was just retaining water since I was not drinking enough. It is very discouraging though.

Todays the big day! I really should be asleep right now considering that it's after midnight and I have to be at the hospital at 7am. I am just to anxious to sleep. I kept myself busy all day so that I would not think about the surgery but now its all that I can think about. I know the jitters are normal but I can't stop thinking about the what ifs. I praying that everything will go smooth. See you all on the losers bench.

Yay we are getting sleeved on the same day. I am nervous and excited as well. I have had to be on an all liquid diet for the past week so only one more week to go. Cant wait to be on the losers bench! Good luck on your journey!

I am on day 3 of my all liquid pre op diet. I craved EVERYTHING the first two days, but today it hasn't been as bad. I am hoping it gets easier. My surgery is on Sept 12th. I have heard that this pre op diet is much harder than the post op. We just need to take it day by day.

I am on day 2 of the pre op diet. My Dr will only let us have a protein shake and clear liquids for two weeks. No food. I don't know how I am going to do this. Right now everything sounds better than broth and a nasty protein shake. I stopped drinking caffeine last week, the headaches were horrible. I took a lot of Tylenol.

I am scheduled the same day here in Phoenix. I am getting excited and nervous at the same time. How is your pre op diet going? I am having a hard time already, full liquids for 2 weeks is tough. Good luck with everything.

I just got the call that my surgery will be on Sept 12 2011 with Dr Schuster in Arizona! I am very excited and scared at the same time. Definitely having last meal syndrome. I can't stop eating out, like I am never going to eat real food again.
