I am almost 3 and a half weeks out; my surgery was June 4th. Based on other diets I've seen on here, I almost feel like I am eating too much. I have been eating like 2 ounces of chicken or fish for a meal. My usual day consists of a scrambled egg w/ cheese for Breakfast and then 2 oz of chicken, fish, or lean turkey lunch meat for both lunch and dinner. I haven't had any nausea or sickness from it yet...

Well I had my surgery yesterday, my surgeon said it went perfectly. I'm still in the hospital, not sure if I can go home today or not though cause I'm so nauseous. The pain isn't too terrible but every time I try to sip Water I feel like I'm going to throw up. Not trying to scare anyone, just thought I should share. Let's just hope it goes away soon so I can look at the positives!

I go for my pre-op EGD tomorrow, it's required just to make sure there's no surprises whenever I go for the surgery. Tomorrow marks the exact two week mark until this happens!!!! It's getting so real!!

Well I am officially freaking out. Just got my surgery time... I am tomorrow at 10:15 am. I need lots of encouragement right now guys cause I am so nervous and totally freaked out!!!!

I bought a few different types of Protein Shakes just to be safe but the one I am most excited to try is Unjury. My doctor recommends that one a lot and I've heard great reviews! You can only get it online though at www.unjury.com. And don't worry, I wasn't instructed to do liquids before either, I even asked my doctor after I read all these posts and he said every one is different but that he didn't think I had to...so hopefully everything goes well because I only have 5 days until Wednesday!!!!

I wasn't instructed go do all liquids either so it's a relief to see another person that hasn't been on a pre-op liquid diet. My sleeve is scheduled for June 4th!!! I'm so nervous but I'm excited too! I enjoy the Rockin Refuel Protein Drinks. Good idea with the unflavored Protein powder, I'll have to look into that. I also ordered a couple cookbooks for after the surgery! Feel free to talk to me anytime you need, no one can ever have enough support!!!

My doctor never instructed me to do a pre-op liquid diet either. He just said to try not to eat anything "too heavy" during the week before my surgery. I even asked again because I've been seeing so much about the liquid diets but he said that every person is different and he didn't see a need for me to do that. So hopefully everything goes well, I get it June 4th.

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I just got home from my pre-op EGD and talked with my surgeon. He said everything looked good and I am officially good to go! June 4th here we come, only two weeks to go!!!

Yeah I have been trying to get this surgery for years but my insurance will not cover it even though I've had countless doctors try to fight it and prove that it's "medically necessary"! It is so ridiculous! So now I decided to just go in and do self pay and guess what... Only about three months later, BOOM I'm scheduled for surgery already. It's sad how much money talks but insurances don't want to consider this a serious surgery that is sometimes needed! Anyone else out there self paying? I'm a little nervous about it cause I guess if there are complications my insurance won't help me with any of that either :/

I am scheduled for June 4th also!! I am starting to get so nervous! I am glad to have found this group so we can help each other out. My nutritionalist didn't say I had to do a pre-op liquid diet but just to make sure I ate very light foods during the week before my surgery. Any recommendations? I am getting so nervous yet excited at the same time!
