Hi everyone! My sleeve date is August 18th and I am confused about my liquid diet... My Doc only requires a 2 day liquid diet prior to surgery but I've noticed most people are required to do this for two weeks. Does anyone know why the difference? Is it better to go ahead and do two weeks? Thanks????

How the heck do you guys exercise?! By the time I get home from work and night class, I basically collapse on the bed?! No energy!

Okay ladies!! I stepped on the scale today and it looks like the stall I've been on for 3 wks is finally over... That is unless the scales were just playing with my emotions! ???? I will be so happy to have that stubborn stall behind me.

I'm stuck too! 20 lbs the first week, then nothing for almost two! Is this normal? How long should it last? I'm so discouraged!!!

Today is my day!!!! I'm currently waiting to get called back to get prepped now. So nervous and excited. I got lots of butterflies in the tummy. Can't wait !

I was sleeved also on the 18th! How are you doing?

Hi! I was sleeved the 18th and I remember feeling anxious like you the first time I was put to sleep(wisdom tooth). So when I woke up I just remember feeling like I just had the best nap of my life. I've joked that I'm tired and wanted to go back for more naps, lol. So don't worry about it, you'll be fine:) hope that helps!

Hi newrose I was sleeved the 18th also, it still seems kind of surreal. How are you feeling so far?

Lindseyzzzme,
My doctor told me the same thing, but after all the research I've done you should do the 2 week before liquids, because it shrinks your liver. I'm having my surgery Sept 26th. Where are you having your surgery at?
I'm having the gastric sleeve, why do you choose the bypass vs sleeve?

The whole point of the two weeks, or whatever the surgeon requires, is to shrink the liver so it's as much out of the way as possible and less prone to damage during the surgery. I don't really know why there is so much variation between doctors, there just is.

They say 2 weeks to prepare you phisically and mentally, but with 5 days is more than enough.

I am August 27th. Can't wait. Good luck to everyone.

Mine is August 14th. I go in for my pre-op appts on the 31st. It's not that far off now...eek!
