I am 2 weeks post op and I started drinking the premier chocolate shakes pre op. They tasted like chocolate milk. Now I just thin them out with some water and ice. They go down perfectly!!

Surgery is at noon today and it's 3:50 am and I am wide awake!! I am hungry from being on liquid diet and my nerves are out of wack. I keep thinking of how badly I want this and that is my motivation. I fear that I will vomit. And/or that the nausea will be unbearable. The Dr said he has 5 different nausea Meds to give me but I worry they won't work. Good luck to all of my fellow Sleevers today!!!!

We have the same date and same pre op liquid diet for two days! Good luck to you!!!

January 27th sleeve surgery!! Cannot wait!!

Thanks everyone! I think I will be fine just really excited, anxious and a little nervous.

I am scheduled for VSG on 1/27/14 and was wondering if anyone has any tips for trying to avoid as much excess/droopy skin as possible. I know that there will be some, but what can I do to try and help the situation? Thank you!

Exactly what I am trying to do! Convince myself that I am worrying for no reason! I am sure we are and it's going to be no big deal!! When is your surgery?

Thanks so much Betty!! Your comment really helped!!

Ok! I am scheduled for the sleeve-surgery on jan 27 2014. I am not nervous about anything else except that drain!! Can anyone please describe the feeling? Does it hurt? Thank u!

Hi! Yes it's been a long wait! I am having the sleeve. I am not sure why it says lap band or even how to change that. How about you, how long was your wait?

Got my surgery date!! 1/27/14. After an 8 month process I am ready to go. Feeling really excited mixed with a some nervousness. Good luck to all my fellow January Sleevers!!!

I am super excited as well, I will be having the RNY, how about you?

Hi Stephanie! I think I am doing pretty good. I figure I will do all testing (pshyc eval, etc) once I meet with the surgeon later next month. Yay for 2014! How do you think you are doing?

I will have finished my nutrition classes and see the surgeon next month but he doesn't operate in December. So I am hoping for January.

Yay!!! What a big accomplishment!! Great job and congrats!!

Hi!! I too am in the process of my 6 month supervised diet. I also hope to have surgery in January. This site has been very helpful in making the time go by faster. I hope the time flies by for you and I look forward to seeing you around on here!!

Welcome!!! I too am in the process. Starting my nutrition classes for my 6 mo supervised diet. Hopefully will have surgery in January. Good luck to you and we will meet on the losers bench!!! ????

I too have used phentermine and it works! I am with you! Whatever works!! Thanks for replying!

Thanks everyone!! Great job too on sticking to it I know it's not easy! I am in my 6 mo supervised diet stage and was wondering how the preop diet would work. Thanks again!

Interested to know what your pre-op diet was and how much did you lose?
