Just got my date today and I start prep wednesday. We are in the same boat with the fear thing. I just keep focusing on why I am doing this and recognizing that God has big plans for me. We will do this.

After reading your post I felt the need to share my experience, Today makes liquid day 9, if I can do it so can you, I am 23 pounds lighter! Yes, can you believe it? I too gained between given my surgery day and liquid diet start date. Luckily I only gained 2 pounds, but I lost those 2 plus 21, I have 5 days left to go as Surgery day is Friday the 10th, I must admit I am scared shitless, however, I am to the point where im leaving my fate with God.
I wish you all the success, after day 3 it becomes much easier. Stay focused and please update us with your progress.

Relax. Use this time wisely to get your house in order, gathering your Vitamins, and making sure you are stocked with low sodium Soups and other things you will need. If you keep busy this time will pass quickly and smoothly. It was a piece of cake for me because I was so thankful I qualified for the sleeve along with my husband. I am happier than ever for many years. We were sleeved 11/18 and 12/2 and life is soooooo good. I think we all have anxiety problems LOL but again, busying yourself will help you immensely!!! Like cleaning the garage!
Yes this site is awesome and you will need it, trust me. And your experiences will help others!!! Happy New Year!

Hi,
Yes let's keep up with each other! I am a Neebie myself, having been sleeved on 11/20/13. All will be well. I suggest you ask your anesthesiologist for an anti-nausea patch before you go into surgery....that helped me SOOOOO much! I had absolutely NO vomiting or nausea associated with the surgery! Also, ask them for extra support for your head and neck for the surgery. This helped me alot too, I had NO pain in my neck or shoulders from the gas. And last but not least, I asked for a smaller tube gas tube to be used into the normal sized bigger one...
Bless U,

Welcome to the Forums! Lots of good people on here going through EVERY stage, every question, every doubt, and every concern that you have. It's amazing how much compiled knowledge is on here. Welcome to your new family!

I joined this amazing forum today, as I stumbled upon it as I was concluding my research as I start my liquid Diet tomorrow, I am excited... I deal with a bit of Anxiety but ironically the anxiety hasn't hit me! I think I am tired of being tired! My mind is made up, I'm not sure if I'm mentally ready, so I'm not going to think i'm just going to DO!
If any of you would love to follow my progress or if you don't mind me following yours send me a friend request on Facebook @Lupe Rose and or ad me as a friend here, I would love the company on my Journey! Good Luck to all of you. I appreciate any encouragement in advance.

My date is 27th

I started my diet to shrink my liver, sleeve surgery is scheduled for December 30th, my starting weight is 289

I must have missed the negative comments. We are only accountable to ourselves and God, if you want eat a darn cookie eat it!

ACTUALLY, my stomach will not allow it. After 2 or 3 bites, I'm done. I seriously cannot eat anymore. Maybe I'm different. No, I don't have it all figured out. But, I also don't slam someone for "slipping." It happens, well, to me anyway. I guess you're one of the "strong" ones. I, for one, am not. I slip, I confess, and guess what, I'm STILL losing weight.........lol.
Not really sure what a slider food is. Because nothing just slides right through me........lol
