I've been in a clear liquid diet since yesterday... Haven't been hungry.. Drank a Protein Drink yesterday called Protein ice because it has to be clear no shakes and it was AWEFUL!! Haha I choked it down and chased it with a sobe! Today I drank a different one called Isopure. It was better! I got my Popsicles/jello/ and all the stuff I need for after.. Chike Protein Drinks cause they are yummy.... Got my gas x slips for the hospital! Calling tomorrow to get my time!! Can't wait!! So excited!!! Good luck to everyone!!

Me too Wednesday is the day haven't been on liquid diet dr said I didn't have to but lost 6 pounds. On liquids today and tomorrow to make sure I am hydrated. Good luck all the April sleevers

I'm scheduled for the 24th. :-)

Can't wait to tell my recovery woes...4/23 can't come fast enough! Congrats to all fellow sleevers! Well wishes for speedy recoveries...

I only have to do three days before and my surgery is the 23rd so I'm sure that little but if food is fine. I have to do clear liquids.. Not even Protein shakes!! Haha but I have two girls at work who have had it and they said after surgery you don't even feel like eating and you have to make yourself get the fluids in that you need!! Don't get a lot of Protein Shakes cause they also said your taste is so different after. Something you didn't like you may like after and visa versa! Hang in there you will be fine! Worst that can happen is they have to make an extra incision to put a paddle in to hold up your liver! No biggie! Be proud of yourself for taking this step!! You will be healthier and happier after!!

Easier said than done but I know the end result will be great! I have two friends that have done it and they are both very helpful!

Jealous everyone is having surgery the 22nd and I'm the 23rd! Hahah We should start a new thread so we can talk to each other and stay in touch during recovery!

I am 47 and have been overweight since I had my first child at 22!! I have been up and down but usually stayed pretty steady at 270! I lost 100 pounds when I was 28 with weight watchers but gained it all back in a year! I have been yoyoing since! I am not a junk food junkey I just over eat! I was thinking about the lap band years and years ago until a friend at work got it and had a lot of trouble with it. Then last year two girls from work got sleeved an did really well and had no problems with it. I decided I was ready!! I went to the information meeting in feb 4th.. Met with the surgeon on feb 7th got approved by insurance the following week... Was given my date of April 23rd ... Have had all the testing done... Lost 20 lbs down to 250.... Set to see the surgeon this Friday to weigh in and go to hospital for pre op stuff. Getting really excited!! Not nervous at all!! I have a lot of support from family and friends! Have experimented with different Protein Shakes and have found I like Chike the best! I've been reading every post I can to prepare myself and talking with my two co workers who are very supportive as well! I am really looking forward to being able to eat a small amount and feel satisfied! I'm having my surgery in NY Saratoga with Doc Baranov!! That's my story! Haha kinda boring but that's it! My pre op diet is three days before liquid diet so Easter is being skipped this year! Haha

I'm glad you have support! I have great support too! People who are negative just don't understand it. I just ignore them and stay positive!! You are lucky you got your surgery date so fast! I have a three day before liquid diet! Blah! It will be worth it! I was so happy to find out about this option! I don't have enough hours for FMLA but I am taking anticipated disability at work so they do not discipline me! Haha I am hoping to go back after two weeks but the doc says he wants me out for at least three. I am not one to just sit around so it's gonna be hard for me!
