Good luck! Please post when you can and let us know how you are doing. My surgery is this Friday. I am nervous but ready.

Ok, thanks!

Hi everyone! My name is Robin. I am 44 years old. I have decided to do something for myself for once. I have decided to have gastric sleeve surgery. My first doctor's visit was on Sept. 18th 2012 with Dr. Jay Snow out of St. Louis Missouri. My insurance company just approved my surgery and it is set for the 16th of Nov. I am currently on my pre-op liquid diet, day 2. I am doing ok but would like to eat something with some consistency. I can have nothing but Clear Liquids. I am trying not to complain too much because this is my choice. I am determined to get this done and start living a new healthy life. Right now, I am excited, scared, and nervous but I think that these are normal feelings. I will post more after surgery. Good luck to the other newbie's out there.

I only have a one week pre op diet and it goes like this sugar free Jello or Popsicles, broth, tea or coffee with only artificial sweetener, sugar free drinks like crystal light, sugar free fitness Water like propel. Yeah, that's it. I'm finished day 2 and spent half the day with a screaming headache and I couldn't think straight. My brain is starving! but nothing will stop me, I'm determined! I even cooked for my family tonight. This is a lesson in self control, and I am rising to the challenge!
