I feel as though when your on the Clear Liquids Pre-op diet it's getting your body ready for the 1-2 weeks of clear liquids that your about to do in your Post -op. So for a lot of folks who didn't have to do the pre-op diet is kind of weird to me. I would think that your surgeon would want you to experience what your body will be going through after surgery.

I feel that it truly does help you, It get's you into the right frame of mind for the post op! I was dreading having to do it and I admit I did have a few small cheats (2 be exact) I feel like I have caught my stride with the liquids. I haven't felt hungry all day, and I'm taking in more Water. I'm feeling mentally ready for the post diet!!

Good to see all these 12/16 sleevers!! Welcome to the Forum! It's right around the corner and I can't wait1 I'm nervous and anxious!

Today I got on the scale just to see if I had lost any weight since i started my pre-op diet on 12/03. I was so shocked and amamzed that I did lose 7lbs!!!! YAY!!! I was so excited, this liquid diet plus Zumba is the real deal, LOL!!!

Congrats on being on the losers bench!!! Happy to hear that everything went well. Praying for your speedy recovery & looking forward to hearing about your journey from here on out!

I know the preop diet has totally helped my head more than anything! It has really given me plenty of time to mentally prepare for this life long journey without the added stress of the actual surgery and pain. I think I'll be in a good place head-wise and hopefully better able to focus on recovery than the sudden loss of food too! Who knew? I was so upset when they called me back and told me I had to do it. Now, I am so thankful!

I'm a Dec 3 sleever so this is day 6 for me. Today has been the best day so far but I still have pain and doubt I could manage a whole day sitting up at work. I have to lay back to get the pressure off my sutures. So I worked from home. Side note IVE LOST 13 POUNDS in 6 DAYS!!! Dec 3 I was 230 today 217

Well, I have to week to go and I'm still super nervous. I haven't packed my bag yet, I don't have an outfit for the day. I'm a last minute person, I work so much better under pressure LOL!!! But my Kids and my dog are taken care of!! I just have so many thoughts going througt my head, saying many prayers day and night for all my fellow sleevers and myself. Those who have been sleeved and who are waiting!
That was a great Question though. It seems like it's not real but I'm really ready!

I also thought Caribbean cooler was terrible. Way to sweet for me. I prefer the tart flavors also.

hi there..dec 12th 2013 is my big day....

Holy crap, my surgery is tomorrow!

Hope all of today's sleevers are doing well! Either you're on the other side, or in the wings waiting to be...
It's my one week anniversary...this time last week I was being pushed to my room..lol..wow the week went fast with no bumps or troubles..and I truly wish the same for all of you.

Surgery is at 7:30 cst. Please send me prayers my way.

I am having mine on the 16th. Nervous and excited at the same time. Glad to have found this site ... big lifestyle change coming my way.

So I bought a container of the Nectar from my surgeons office gives, I got the caribbean cooler flavor. OMG that stuff was a Hot MESS! It was so nasty to me. and the smell, I gagged everytime I put it up to my mouth.

Taking the plunge tomorrow morning! Checking in at 0800 for 1030 VSG....nervous and exciting. Glad the waiting is over, and I'm ready to work. Gaaarrr!

Thank you. God has his timing. It probably would have been harder to end things with BF after having him support me through surgery and weight loss. God forbid things fell apart this week or next, that drama between intense finals weeks and having planned originally for him to help me- I would have been left in a terrible emotional and logistical lurch. It makes this all a bit more overwhelming for me now though, coping with that loss of security/comfort I got from my partner and the fear thats creeping up for the unknown ahead- both surgery and life.
It's a bitter sweet time, I imagine for a lot of us. We are scared, excited, scared again, and hopeful. We have to let go of a part of us, overeating and comfort eating, that has got most of us to this point- become a habit and often a way of coping with feelings- and then surgically remove that coping mechanism and adopt new healthy exercise and eating habits to turn this dream of finally being slim into an unfathomable reality. Least, thats how it feels to me.
So many things to look forward to down the road. To be fit, attractive, full of energy! Getting my associates in the spring and shopping for a nursing school, and other big life decisions. I wanted a partner to take this journey with me- but God knows bets. I will work on myself and hope that, as it is said, God doesn't take something away without giving us something better in it's place. Thanks for listening to my ramblings. It was a bit of a rough night. Making big life changes is hard and scary, and being brave is hard some times!

Glad your doing better and your mom is coming to help you out. It is weird how life changes when we least expect. It seems to happen to me all the time, but what is even better is the Blessings that come out of it. You got this and I pray everything will work out great for you.

Many prayers will go up for the Dec 9th group! Try n sleep well tonight, if possible;). I pray that ull all have a successful surgery and recovery! You've come this far and now its time to jump onto the losers bench!! Leave room for the rest of us:). May u all b blessed w whatevr u need to get through this time. Let us know how u are as soon as u can:) cya on the losers bench...Dec 30!!

First, I want to thank the person who offered me support when I was struggling with life circumstances last week. I never got around to thanking you. I'm doing better with my breakup than I was before, and my mom will be coming with me to the hospital the day of surgery.
So tonight was my last night of 'normal' eating. 2 week preop diet begins tomorrow with 3 shakes and one small meal a day. I took my son out to our favorite chinese place for my 'last supper'. When it was time to pay the bill a bit of a panic attack got me. The reality of what is coming in 14 days started to leak in a bit.
Good luck to the upcoming sleevers and those postop in your recovery.

The tangerine flavor is really good. Taste like orange juice. I got the tropical but haven't tasted it yet but I heard it taste like fruit punch
