Not getting a hard time from anyone, but when talking with other wls patients in the waiting room when I visit the dr, it's a common question I get. I'm glad I'm doing it so young, I wouldn't want it any other way. Honestly have only heard beneficial things by doing my surgery now than 10 years from now.

I start tomorrow for pre-op. Its definitely a challenge. Good luck with everything, it will get easier as time goes on.

I will for sure. Start my all liquid diet tomorrow. Yippee!! (jk) lol

So so excited for you! Can't wait to hear your progress after surgery.

I'm getting sleeved Aug 21st. I remember when I got my date finally scheduled, it had been the most exciting part of the process yet. I wanted to scream it from a mountain top, I was so giddy. Good luck to both of you.

I start my liquid diet tomorrow. My dr requires it 10 days before surgery. I did this a couple weeks ago as well and definitely had the empty feeling too. I drink a ton and ton of water to keep me full and try to keep myself occupied so I'm not thinking about the whole not eating part. I don't do much broth because it actually makes me feel sick after I drink it. Which is weird cause most people say it helps with the nauseousness and keeps them full. But then again when have I not been an odd ball. Lol my dr said if I get that hungry I can always add in a 4th protein shake. No butterflies yet but I know they will be coming. Getting so so excited. ????

I get the same way. What's helped me is adding sugar free crystal lite to my water. For some reason the flavored water helps way more than just plain water.

I'm getting sleeved Aug 21st with Dr Srikanth at St Francis Hospital in Federal Way, WA. Super super excited for this journey.

So good to know I'm not the only one in their early twenties having surgery. I'm 24 and having surgery on aug 21st. Do you guys ever get asked by other wls patients "arnt you too young to have surgery"??

Newbie to the site, but loving all this info I get from everyone. I'm an August sleever as well. Aug 21st is my big day with Dr Srikanth at St Francis Hospital in Federal Way, WA. So so excited, thankfully nerves haven't kicked in just yet. But I can only imagine how I will feel on surgery day.
