@@wannaBthinsoon, I'm glad you slept! I haven't been able to, come on 11am. I'm ready to switch to the "post-op" forums lol

I'm not headed in until 11, surgery at 12. Prayers going up!

@@wannaBthinsoon Sherrie I'm a wreck, have been for the last 2 days. Just glad the day is finally here!

Today is the day ladies!!!! In such a short time I can't believe how much emotion I feel for you @@wannaBthinsoon @@FlabbyNat

Woot woot! I'm right behind you! Speedy recovery and I know we're going to kill it on this journey!!!! Woot woot! I'm right behind you! Speedy recovery and I know we're going to kill it on this journey!!!! Woot woot! I'm right behind you! Speedy recovery and I know we're going to kill it on this journey!!!!

I keep thinking 3 more sleeps but the closer we get the harder it is to sleep and the lack of caffeine isn't helping!!!

@@wannaBthinsoon do you have a 2 week liquid diet? I just realized I've been on this liquid diet for 12 days without cheating!!! I can't believe we're so close.

@@yamshams hangry is a word I use often!!!!! I am DAY 12 of my liquid diet and I am about tired...I'm exhausted. I'm Hangry. I'm a hot mess lol

I think I've reorganized and refreshed my closet and bedroom 5 times this month. Even got into the kids room lol it's like nesting I swear! I packed my hospital bag Saturday night and forgot of all things...underwear! I'm such a ball of nerves.

Sherrie I cried reading this. I am right there with you!!! I'm so excited for us, I know we will do great, and in the beginning suffer together lol

My surgeon was part of the trials that helped develop the lap band procedure so he is very conservative with pre/post op procedures for both operations. Strict full liquid 2 weeks before surgery, clear liquid day before, clear liquid until he clears you for full liquid.

@@wannaBthinsoon@@wannaBthinsoon See these I can stomach, the isopure not so much =[ @@wannaBthinsoon we only have 4 days left!!!!!!

http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/p/new-whey-nutrition-new-whey-liq-protein-42-fruit-12-shots/yq-1007#.VTOGmnD3arU These are liquid Protein shots. They contain 42g of protein in only 3oz. I'm very curious.

I'm just below you in TN, getting sleeved Thursday. Good luck on your journey!!!

So close, yet so far away...is it the 23rd yet? I'm hangry =[

@@wannaBthinsoon I'm Thursday April 23 and couldn't be soon enough! The process itself wasn't the worst but all day my stomach was terrible I'm day 8 of my liquid diet and a bit cranky. My surgery is tentatively 11am. Our hospital does the time schedule so they will call to confirm the day before.

Had my preop labs, ekg and upper GI today [worst test ever lol]. Picked up my post op scripts, paid the surgeon and hospital, and submitted my leave paperwork. My regular scheduled days off are fri/sat so I'll pack my hospital bag then. I'm working up until Wednesday bc otherwise I'd go nuts at home but I'm so ready!!!!!!!!!!

Got my survey time today and it's not until 11! Grrr I'm going to be a cranky ball of nerves!!!

Yes but I figure that's normal. Liquid diet, liquid.......

My surgery is also on 4/23!!!! My surgery is also 4/23.... 3 days before my birthday. I'm getting sleeved the 23rd also! I'm so excited to have so many lovely people to go through this journey with!

This may sound childish or naïve but I have a question. Can you tell you've been sleeved? As in, does your abdomen feel any different, from the inside? Grrr I don't feel like I'm verbalizing this well enough. Does anyone get my question?

Let's talk about it!!! I swear since I started my preop diet I smell EVERYTHING! I also have not been terribly hungry, it's been mostly head hunger, and I've been able to talk myself down so far. Then again I'm only on day 3.

I've been drinking atkins shakes, high protein slim fast, and the Premier Protein. Each day they all taste a little better. definitely try some different ones. The surgeon recommended EASadvantage to me and I tried the strawberry. I couldn't stomach it. Some just really don't taste that good. I also like the whey protein powder. Hope this helps and good luck with surgery! Mine is the 20th. Ready for it to be here! :-) Premier protein is my favorite and will probably be my post surgery 'full liquid' shake.

My doctor is SOOOOO specific. I could either do the bariatric advantage meal replacement (which to me were terribleeeeee) or glucerna shakes bc of the slowly digestible carbs. So glucerna it is lol
