I am scheduled for next Thursday as well. I think it is last minute nerves and all the people sharing the horror stories. Read through and find the positive ones. It helps! Best of luck on becoming a "loser" too.

I paid $145 for 7 boxes of 7 packets. The taste is not bad, except for strawberry, but nothing mixes well. I was told that was what I had to use and buy at the hospital. I was not given other options. A little disappointed to see others are not using this particular brand.

Is anyone using the New Direction shakes? I can't get these to blend properly no matter what I do to them. I am drinking chunky hot chocolate. Day 3 and I am more frustrated by this than not eating! This was an expensive liquid diet promoted by my hospital and yet the shakes are awful.

me too. I am more scared since going through 4 hrs of pre-op the last 2 in meetings discussing post-op recovery.

25 days to go!!! Looking forward to new beginnings. Glad I found this board. You are all so helpful. Helps ease the anxiety.

My name is Gin and I am having sleeve surgery on March 13, 2014. I am from New England. I work as a receptionist in a veterinary hospital. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I love the Red Sox and Las Vegas. The main reason I turned to this surgery is that at 58 years old, I now have sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and borderline diabetic.
