This may be too ambitious but I just got sleeved on October 30th and hoping for big results.

I'm just at the beginning of my weight loss journey. I don't think I'll be offended by being called skinny. If they add in "too", that might be a different story. What I always hated though and still do, is when someone smaller than me tells me I don't have to lose our encourages bad eating habits, when they are always saying they're fat or in a diet.

I'm in. Get sleeved on the 30th, so this is perfect timing.

About to leave for the hospital. Surgery is scheduled for 7. If it wasn't real before, it is now.

That is true.

I'm 3 days into my liquid diet and I too am a diet Pepsi addict (I could easily drink 6 cans a day without realizing it). The first day was the worst because of the withdrawal headaches, even though I cut back to 2 or 3 cans a day. I'm not missing it too much, but there is still some in the house which can make it hard when I open the fridge. I have two sisters who have been sleeved. One drank carbonated beverages pretty early, I want to say at 2 months and continues to drink beer and soda. The other doesn't drink anything carbonated. She thinks it's a slippery slope, where beer helped get her overweight, she doesn't want to introduce it back into her diet. So she avoids it altogether but has said she could have it if she wants. She is 18 months out and doing great, but the other sister is 16 months out and also doing great. She was not doomed. So each journey is different and I would ask your surgeon or NUT (it took me awhile to figure out what that meant).

Thanks for the add.
I'm worried about Thanksgiving too. I go in for my surgery on Thursday. But we might just stay home for Thanksgiving so we don't have to worry about the food. Although, not fan of Turkey, I love green bean casserole.

I'm new to the group. My surgery is on the 30th. Just started my liquid diet. I'm getting really nervous.

My prep is serious lacking. I am a self pay and my surgeon only required me to get tested for sleep apnea and get my PCMs approval, which she dragged her feet on. I started my liquid diet, but not sure it's a true liquid diet. I'm okay with it though, since I'm following what they gave me.
The lack of prep really has me stressing about my likelihood of success. Also, I'm doing it as an outpatient surgery, which after reading some of the posts on here, I'm seriously worried about the pain. I've had two sisters have the sleeve done and one says it will be fine and the other says she was doubled over in the fetal position. I just keep thinking, I just had a c-section and u did OK and I had an appendectomy where it burst and I was OK with that. So, here's hoping it goes well and I can handle the pain.
