I'm 2 weeks post op also, but my Dr. has me on a strick diet still of 3 protein shakes a day and just clear liquids. Can't even have pureed foods for 2 more weeks. A tip for getting your liquids in which has worked for me. I have a container which is 32 oz. I mix crystal light lemon flavored iced tea in it. Then I slice lemons and limes in it, and buy a can of no sugar added fruit cocktail and put half of that with the juice in it. Very refreshing in the heat and I seem to be able to get that all down instead of the water. I wish you luck on your journey!!

ok people, arent we adults here. Please stop arguing and acting so petty with the comments. Each person is an individual and will do or not do what they are told. Ultimately they are the ones paying the consequences for their actions. I'm 4 days post op and have loved this sight until reading this thread. I think I'll stick with the love and support of my own family and friends. Let's just all relax and do the best we can!!

Hey hey, I'm getting my done at Madigan Army Medical Center {I'm an Army Wifey}, no date as of yet~ August 1st is right around the corner! Whoot whoot!

T~ :wub:

How wonderful. You look terrific. Thank you for posting these pictures. It helps us pre surgery folks with some encouragement that we're making the right decisions for ourselves and our families. I'm just starting my clear liquid diet today and everything seems to be going very well so far. August 1st is my surgery date and i cant wait for it to get here so I can start my journey. Good luck to you and keep up the great work!!!

Thanks! I can promise you it is the best decision you will ever make for your health!

I think it's all a mind set. Am I nervous? Of course. I'm also very excited and after 48 years, I've made up my mind. It's all upstairs in my head. I'm ready for this now. My kids are raised and I have nothing, or no excuses left to stop me. Onward and upward. August 1st can't get here soon enough!!!

I just bought my protein drinks at costco. It's called Premier Protein shakes. They have chocolate and vanilla. They only have 2 gr of sugar and they taste great! Well great compared to all the rest. I also bought the Magic Bullet blender there too and have mixed the chocolate protein shake with some frozen berries. I start my clear liquid diet sunday so I cant add the berries then, but you can mix is with ice, and a little coffe and make a blended coffee. I'm so ready for this challenge and can't wait to start getting results. My surgery is Aug. 1st. Good luck!!

I really needed to hear all this! This is so helpful. I am much less nervous and I already started packing my bags for the sugery tonight. My date is until the last days of Aug, but I am so exited I want to start "getting ready"-- I CAN DO THIS ! I know I can do it the right way thanks to all of you. <3 Wish me luck! ;D

I'm scheduled for the 18th as well. Anxiety is buiding. It's been a 1 1/2 year journey from intial info session to now. I'm as ready as I'm ever going to be, but that doesn't keep the anxiety in check. Thank God for xanax.

I'm scheduled for the 18th too! I'm not gonna lie..im getting nervous (but excited). Good luck to you!!

Im on the 18th as well! We need to keep in touch...good luck to all if us

I'll be your sleeve buddy! My surgery is also on the 18th! I can't even explain how nervous I am!

good luck on Wednesday!! Make sure and let me know how it's all going for you!!

Thank You guys.....we are rolling now. My Surgeon came thru to say hello and to let me know he saved the best for last. It may be another 30 minutes but things are happening. I'm meeting the team 1 by 1.
Oh.....they gave me a green tree like sponge to wet my mouth. That's all for now. I almost ate it. I haven't been hungry for days now. Usually I've been doing liquid Proteins and then Clear liquids...but about 3:30pm...I got the urge to eat.
*waving @ you guys* I can see you...I'm almost there!!!!!
Last post pre sleeve. Lovenox in the belly time!!!

See if you can have a spray of biotin or similar, it is an OTC spray that simulate salaiva...it was very refreshing for me...
