Your diet sounds like mine but I was told I could have a cup of leafy greens a day (they come right back out). However, they did not mention SF Jello or pudding so I will be calling the asap because I am ready to gnaw on anything! I am sooooo hungry!!!! Good luck and keep us posted!!!

Welcome! I have gotten sooooo much great information, opinions and suggestions. The support is amazing!!

Thanks a bunch Star!! It was not mentioned but I will be calling asap because I totally understand that whole tricking my brain concept!! Thank you for the support!!

Thank you so much!!!! Hugs for the encouragement!!!! <3

I will be praying for all of my June 4th sleevers/losers! I will be looking for prayers on the 13th since they changed mine from the 4th to the 13th! So excited for y'all and hungry with y'all!!

Keep me updated!!!

Thanks Amy!! Your surgery is tomorrow!!!! Are you sooooooo excited? They moved mine from the 4th to the 13th. I have a 10 year old and she was eating cheese puffs... I wanted to lick the cheese off of her fingers. hahaha

I have anxiety and take meds and i got clearance on my first visit. If there a different psych you can see? Maybe this is a good thing if your anxiety is too severe. The first time I tried this was 2 years ago and turned down for anxiety. It was a blessing. I truly was not ready.

I am on my 2nd day of the pre-op diet and I am absolutely miserable. I am soooooo hungry and feel weak! Any suggestions? My pre-op consists of 2 shakes, 2 cups of green veggies and 2 cups of chicken broth for the whole day!

I will say a prayer for both of you!! Please keep us updated!

My date was changed from the 4th to the 13th of June. Do i have any fellow June 13th'ers? I am interested in finding someone to share the journey with from day 1!

It's a liquid with a cup of green veggies a day for 2 weeks. Seems like waaaay too little for anyone so if I survive 3 days...

I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and I am NOT looking forward to feeling like I will starve to death! Any advice? i.e. better tasting options, seasoning green veggies, etc

i can't wait to have this dilemma! haha I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and I am so afraid I will be starving to death! haha

Keep up the good work!!!

Thank you all!! I do feel a teeny bit better. Dogmom3-That was very sweet and thank you for the detailed response. I'm looking forward to the road to recovery! Mygastricsleevelife-I think the trip to the OR itself would freak me out! lol. I will report back so future sleevees will know how a totally chickened out girl did!

I lol'd at your response! I hope i LOVE it! I know I will not be able to sleep. I am 2 weeks out and already psyching myself out of sleep. Thank you!!!

Thank you Corinna! I think I have watched too much Grey's Anatomy and I am that person who googles side effects and complications of everything SO i am doing it to myself!! Good luck with your sleeve!!! -Angie

My surgery date is June 4th and I am excited to begin my journey but completely petrified about being put to sleep. This will be my very first surgery ever so I want to hear how it was for y'all. Were you in excruciating pain when you woke up? Do you dream? Do you have a headache? Do they let you take something to calm you before they start the anesthesia thing? EEEeek!!!!

I am terrified of the anesthesia and letting my nerves get the worst of me. I am doing what all others are doing and what if'ing myself crazy! Prayers and luck on your surgery and journey!

I certainly hope you are feeling better and that your complication issues subsided! How are you feeling now? Do you feel ready to conquer this thing now? God bless!

I was thinking...That's some serious re-routing!!!! hahaha

Amytequila...keep in touch and we can compare notes!!!!

I wanted to throw my 2 cents in. Congrats Skinnyagain!!! You realized what you needed to do and you did it the point that you are having great results!! I am pre-op still, super duper nervous but curious about situations such as yours. Thank you for sharing and good luck!!!

This was helpful! i am pretty much in the same boat. I am a nervous wreck that something will happen to me and my husband is active duty and not sure he will be able to be here with me...12 hours away. Congrats on your success!!
