Hello, I will be sleeved in 1 week and I am excited, but a little nervous. I have been preparing for my 5 day pre-op diet. Shopping for all that I could think of that I would need. I started weening myself Monday by replacing breakfast and adding a meal each day to replace. I figure 5 days would not be too hard. Next week will be here before I know it.

If its the same one that my surgeon group talked about, they are not good. Our bodies can't absorbed whatever is in them. I think it has collagen in it and that's not good. If we are talking about the same stuff.

Thanks for checking in smoggy. I am next tuesday and I'm getting nervous, so its a big help to see you doing ok. Helps calm my nerves down. congrats and happy healing.

Like you said, you are doing this for YOU! I know that we all want people to accept and be happy for our decision but sometimes that just doesn't happen. That comment was not about you, it's about them. Now that you are going to be healthier and slimmer, they will now have to worry about themselves being as they said "the fat one". It don't matter how healthy you're going to be to them because it's all about them. I'm happy for you and congrats on your surgery date.

Just checked it again and its called: "Hey July Sleevers"

Hi augustkiwi, I'm having my surgery July 10th as well. I'm excite and nervous too. My pre-op diet is only 5 days, but I will ease my way in starting Monday with replacing one meal each day so that by the time Thursday rolls around I will be ready. Congrats on your date and hope all goes well for the both of us. btw, there's also a forum for us under July Sleevers. Look for that and enter your name in for July 10th. You should see the list once you read thru them. Let's keep each other updated.

I use fatsecret.com. It is easy to use and a great site.

I feel the same way. My surgery is July 10th and I can't wait but I am also nervous about the surgery. I just keep thinking positive and know that this will be the beginning of my new journey. Congrats on your date.

My Dr. only requires a 5 day pre-op diet so 12 is just fine. Like emily said, they would not have scheduled you so close if they felt it was going to be a problem. Congrats on your upcoming surgery.

Hi, Mine is July 10 in Illinois with Dr. Rossi

Whatever you decide to do start putting it in motion now that way when you have surgery there will be not much of a change in your routine. If you go to you car like Hsteinle said then start before surgery. Don't give them reason to talk or try to figure out what's going on. People will talk no matter what you just have to be strong enough to ignore the naysayers and know that you made this decision for you no matter what anyone else says. Keep Your Head Up! You deserve it.

lacie, my date is July 1oth as well in Illinois with Dr. Rossi. Congrats to you.

Will be sleeved July 10 and would like to join this buddy list as well. I'm excited and nervous but ready.

Thank you, I'm trying to absorbed as much information as possible in order for this to work to my benefit. It helps with putting things in prospective and what I can expect. Thank you,

former_vbg, what's the honeymoon phase? I haven't had surgery yet, I'm scheduled for July 10.

I am scheduled for July 10 with Dr. Rossi in Illinois.

Congrats, I will also be sleeved July 10th in Illinois. yay for us!!!!!

Got the call from the surgeon's office and my surgery date has been set for July 10. Yay, I'm very excited and nervous, but ready. So now have to have my pre surgery workup on June 19 and my nutritionist meeting and surgeon's visit on same day, June 26. Here I GO!!

I had my psych visit on May 14, 2012 and it went well. I'm now waiting on them to send the report to my surgeons office, hopefully in the next week or so I should hear something. I ready to get this done as I'm a little nervous but excited too.

I went to my 1st steps class on April 9, now I'm waiting for my Psych eval which is May 14th. In the mean time, I'm researching proteins and how to get these in after surgery. I also was told that instead of a two week liquid pre-op diet, I only have 5 days. That's much better so I guess I'll be thankful for that. I'm getting nervous about the surgery and the outcome, but ready to move forward with my life.

Good Idea. Something I will have to try. Except for the mixer. Thanks for the information.

I just had mine done and it was just a blood test, nothing special, at least for me. But it turns out I have it and am now on antibiotics for 14 days. Don't know how you get it but I do know that I've been having what I now know as signs of this infection.

I'm 5'2" and would like to join. I am on my journey to receive the gastric sleeve.
