Ditto, I have no regrets. I am on soft foods now and I feel awesome, stay true to yourself and recognize the signs and you will do GREAT!

No that's not normal, it gets better from here I promise. I was just sleeved and with Dr. Morales you automatically do a two night inpatient stay in case any problems arise. I believe each Dr does it differently unfortunately. Sorry you had such a hard expirence. I wish you luck!

Sorry to hear that but best wishes to you as well!

Nov. 6th has finally arrived! Nervous but oh so excited to start this new chapter of my life. I declare victory over this in Jesus name! My surgery is today (whoop whoop) @ 7:30 AM. I'm bring sleeved in Jacksonville, FL Military Hospital. I'm down 35 pounds and a few inches too! While the rest of the world will be celebrating the end of the presidential race, I'll be celebrating victory over obesity! I want to thank all for all the support that this group provides. Looking forward to seeing each of you on the loser bench. Gotta go get to the hospital. I'll keep you posted!

I'm right with you, I was more nervous last week that I am today. I am just ready to begin my journey! Good luck on your surgery tomorrow!

I'm right with you, I was more nervous last week that I am today. I am just ready to begin my journey! Good luck on your surgery tomorrow!

Everyone having surgery today, God be with you. All my Nov 6th sleeve sisters and brothers, we can get through today and tomorrow our journey will begin! How exciting. I will keep you all in my prayers tonight.

Wow 23lbs is awesome! Your doing the right thing try new foods you other wise wouldn't have tried. I want to use this sleeve to leave some foods behind forever, that is my goal at least.

Its so wierd, it hasn't even really hit me that tomorrow i have surgery. Im so at ease that my calmness is freaking me out more then anything.
Cant say im anxious, im just really not even thinking about it. I have so much to do before tomorrrow that im more worried about that, also still need to pack.
stopped by vitaminshoppe on sat to get Isopure in every flavor, going today to pick up a case... so much cheaper then gnc!
other then worrying about errands im good.

drank the purple/grape one.. lol

Yes, this has definitely happened to me. I tried to have all of my favorite foods up until the night before my fast. I had actually put on 4lbs doing it!. But now I am on my last day of my 8 day fast and I have dropped 7lbs. Tomorrow is my day and I am so ready!

Sitting in hospital waiting for surgeon. Ready for this journey!

Good luck!!! I'm in my way to the hospital myself I'm scheduled at 730am!!!

I M just sitting waiting for the doctor! As soon as he gets here its go time!
Wish me luck;)

I've come too far to change my mind as well. I'm not having too much hunger...I drink lots of propel Water in between. I'm so thirsty all the time now. Make ure you get enough Protein, it will drive the hunger away.
Well, we can freak out together LOL!

I'm HUNGRY! I will be so glad when the pre-op diet is over I won't know what to do. I will be happy when 11/6 gets here. I am a little anxious but definitley not going to change my mind I have come to far for that.

I hope you have a good outcome too! I can't tell you how relieved I feel. I'll try to update next week or if anything changes.
It is hard to remember to drink, so make sure you have a good Water bottle that's easy to carry!

Actually this isnt strange. When we eat to little the body can stall and hold on and increasing food intake/calories is the best rememdy.

dadci i liked your positive post
hope soon to be sleever and NEWBIES enjoyed reading your post
there are times a poster writes bad experiences, thats totally ok - they unfortunately happened
its nice to see a post from a NEWBIE like you stating they had no complications, and are alive to say that!!!
good for you
continued speedy recovery

If Mio or crystal light counts, I like the berry pomegranate flavor mio and either the peach ice tea or margarita flavored crystal light.
I tried Propel awhile back, it isn't bad either.

Well my surgery is coming really soon and I can tell you your not the only one having these feelings. But I know it will be worth it. It took me 3yrs to commit and to take the jump and now I am happy that I did. Thing have gone so smooth that I know this is for me

Ok this might be a silly question but for you post sleevers who say you cannot tolerate certain foods. What were the signs that your sleeve didn't like that food? Do u get a stomach ache? Loose bm? Just wanted an idea of what I would be feeling. Surgery is almost here. November 6th! Can't wait!

In August, I made the decision to have the sleeve. I had my first consult with the surgeon on Sept. 11. My insurance doesn't require a doctor supervised diet at all, but my surgeon requires a 3 month supervised diet, so that started on Sept. 11. They basically need to weigh me for 3 months. I had all my blood work and my EKG in Sept. and met with the NUT as well.
On November 2, I have my endoscopy. November 6, 3rd appt with surgeon to be weighed, etc. November 8, I have the Pulmonary Function test. November 13, I have the psych eval. And all those appointments are 2.5 hours away! I think the only test that is not scheduled yet is the sleep study. Once all these tests are done, I can get my surgery date!
I'm very excited, nervous, and scared at the same time. I dread all these appointments because they are all close together and 2.5 hours away. But, I will deal with that.
I could be having surgery by the end of November or in December!

Where are all my 40 year olds at? I am a newbie and excited that I will be sleeved shortly. Any sleever's for Nov? My surgery date is 11/6 and I am exited and nervous but mostly excited!
