Conrats!

I am currently preparing to be sleeved on 2/12. I am in the pre-op diet phase (which I am finding it very difficult because I am ALWAYS hungry!!!!!). I have my vitamins ordered and should be here tomorrow. I ordered some liquid Tylenol and some weight loss cook books that should be here on Thursday. The only thing I have left to do is buy the clear liquids for after the surgery. I will be on 1 week of clear liquids. That will be followed by 1 week of full liquids. Then 4 weeks of liquids/soft foods. I want to have enough to get me buy for a couple of weeks so I will do my shopping this weekend. I am also starting to think about what all I am going to pack. I don't want to overpack. I will probably wear my clothes to the hospital that I am going to wear home. I'll get some Gas X for the gas pains. I will pack my iPad and phone. Anything else that I will need? I plan on wearing the hospital gowns and some flip flops. Here are my before pictures that I took this evening: Front shot Side shot Back shot Face shot

It definitely sounds interesting. Let us know how it actually turns out

I am right there with you! My doctor (and all doctors are different) has some required tests (sleep apnea, stress test, endoscopy). My insurance requries a nutritional evaluation and a psych evaluation. I have everything scheduled and they will be done in just over a week's time. Then I'll be able to schedule the surgery. I can't wait! This is definitely not the easy way out! And I am right there with you. Since I had my appointment on Dec 7 I have gained 7 pounds. I'm surprised it isn't more. I'd like to get a few of those pounds off before meeting with the surgeon again. I'm there for you!

Well written
