I am scheduled for 1:00 pm so lets hope it stays that way I am feeling scared and excited today I am hoping that everything goes well I don't have any major health issues but I do have the hernia, sleep apnea and exercised asthma so that is a little scary for me but I am putting it in Gods hands for a safe and speedy out come. Also hoping for the same safe and speedy recovery for npurdy6 and anyone else who is becoming a SLEEVE TEAM member today.

Good luck praying for a safe and speedy surgery and recovery I will become a member of the sleeve team Thursday I will be looking for your post on things are going.

I have exercised induced asthma, and sleep apnea and didn't find that out until June when I started gaining all kinds of weight and couldn't get into my gym anymore because of it my doctor has me on Ventolin as needed but since I have gained so much weight from not being in the gym I am going with the sleeve so it will help me better with the asthma and sleep apnea.

I have been on the pre op for 8 days and I can honestly say that its been hard with cravings but I have not cheated once on this I am looking at like this if I cant get through 2 weeks of a diet how am going to change for a life time I hope everyone has success!!!!

I t will get easier I am a week out on the pre op and I have had the shakes for Breakfast and lunch and around I have a cup of organic chicken broth or vegetable broth and about 5:30 6:00 I have my dinner of the oz. of chicken turkey or fish 1/2 cup brown rice and a cup of cooked veggies except corn, peas or lima Beans they are no no's and through out the day I have warm tea no sugar or cream or sugar free drinks I hope this helps give you an idea to keep from being hungry.

Hello good luck and I am also the 25th!!!

Wish you lots of luck and a speedy recovery sweet dreams!!!!!!

I am scheduled for surgery on the 25th and I would also like to join this thread? I wish you all the best of luck and speedy recoveries!!!!!!!!!

Good luck to you with a speedy recovery I still have 11 more days and then it my turn to enter the life of thin.

Good luck in the am wish you a safe and speedy recovery. Soon I will be say this I still 11 more days before my surgery.

OH I know that I was just saying the amount that I get for the day and I sometimes find my self hungry so I have the warm tea to curb it.

Have you tried drinking warm tea without sugar and creams I have found that flavored teas curb my hunger and I am on the pre op with on shake for Breakfast one for lunch and 4 oz. of chicken, fish, or turkey, 1/2 cup brown rice, 1 cup of veggies except corn lima Beans and peas and then 10 calorie liquids in between. We have a place down the shore and we came here last night and I had to cook dinner for my husband and our 5 yr. old well it was cheese burgers and corn on the cob wow I wanted to kill for the burger because it smelled so good but I made pumpkin spiced tea and I was good I have been doing this for three days now and the tea seems to help with hunger (oh and its decaf from Celestial seasonings) Maybe this will help.

There is only 5 people who know about my up coming day my husband, the surgeon, pulmonary, my family dr. and the psych dr.I am keeping it to myself as I don't want to hear negative thoughts as I have lived with all my life.

I started my pre op diet today and I wasn't told that it was for losing weight its to help shrink your abdomen and the liver so the doctor has more room to work in there. I am sure you might lose a little bit but I am not looking for it my eye is on the final prize.

I am starting mine also I am scheduled for the 25th also good luck.
