Congrats on starting your journey the first step is the hardest. Expect a lot of testing pulmonary cardiology stress loads of blood test thyroid heart EKG psychological just to name a few my doctor gave me a list for the 6 months before my surgery and a proposed schedule of when I should see ascertain specialist or have a certain test done it helped a lot because by the end when I need to submit a reason to my insurance all my ducks were in a row now it is 6 months later and I'm having my surgery tomorrow 12/16 best of luck to you in hindsight the hardest part the 6 months was my own food demons so I took the six months to scale back the things that I need to get used to Mike reducing sugar carbs portion sizes eliminating soda alcohol fast food etc I had to cut down on my social life a bit because it's hard to resist when you're out with a bunch of friends and everybody's having a great big meal and you need to learn that this will not work after the surgery so I've become a bit of a recluse the last 6 months but the day is tomorrow and I'm feeling optimistic best of luck to you the time flies

Yay!!! I'm getting sleeved this week, too.

Today I start my Clear Liquids. Gotta be at the hospital for surgery at 6:30am tomorrow morning. I started this journey 4 months ago and now I can't believe it's already here! Im still nervous, but I can't wait to join the losers bench and see what the next 4 months will bring!

I'm on day 14 of liquids my surgery is12/16 I got super sick at about day 10 came down with a really bad cold high fever the works I'm sure from the lack of nutrients went to Dr they put me on a 3 day zpac I'm now 3 days from surgery and feeling good again. I think it's normal to get a little sick a lot of people do. Just drink your Vitamins I did a really nutrient rich chicken Soup and put it through the bullet blender 1,000 times so it's like Water and that has made my body bounce right back. You will be fine. Keep us posted!!!
