I'm April 12. Feeling anxious but I can't wait!

I watched one. I thought it was cool. Told my surgeon that I wished that I can watch.

Great job. Do you have different types of Protein Shakes, that has made it easier for me. I have the normal chocolate and vanilla but also the Syntrax Nectar which helps mix it up. I think you could also have chicken broth with unflavored Protein Powder and this would count as a shake but you should probably ask your surgeon's office. Sometimes the shakes are just TOO sweet.
It is amazing how the weight drops with the pre-op diet. I'm on day 5 too and I'm exhausted. I am drinking the shakes and Water but I am horrible with the Vitamins. I need to get one of those pill organizers to help me remember.

April 12th over here! On my pre-op diet now. Good luck!

Hello all!! I finally got my surgery date for April 12th!!!!! I'm so excited and ready for my new life!!! Anybody else getting sleeved that day???

I used Decaf cold brew coffee for the first few days. At first it was 1/2 coffee, 1/2 shake, and then I slowly tapered off the amount of coffee I was mixing in until I could just drink the shake plain. I also have used a splash of sugar free peppermint or hazelnut Torani Syrup (the kind they use to flavor coffee) and blended with ice to make the drink more like a milkshake.

It does get easier. I absolutely hated the taste of most Protein Shakes, and now, on day 7, I'm used to it. If you can, try changing up the type of shake, or masking the flavor with something else. I'm drinking mainly the Premier Protein shakes, but for me, they are waaay too sweet, so I've been mixing them with unsweetened almond milk and it really helps a lot. I also drink them with a ton of ice so they are super cold. The first few days are the hardest - hang in there!

I start my pre-op diet on Monday. Surgery on April 12th. Tomorrow going to get lobster, crab, shrimp and catfish with my sister. It's all up to be after that!

I am tomorrow. Checking in at 845. I am nervous too. Like I researched and feel prepared but honestly feel like I can't expect it until I go through with it.
But we got this. We are stronger than our food addiction. We deserve a new and better life.

Getting to the hospital at 11 tomorrow. I'm so so nervous. It hasn't hit me until RIGHT NOW. I've felt horrible on this liquid diet, I've had such anxiety in general, and just getting over being sick, still have a cough and stuffed up nose. I'm terrified of coughing tomorrow and the pain I'll feel in my stomach when I do ): I'm not having second thoughts or anything, I think I'm more anxious like I just wanna freaking start this new life already. But I'm so worried to find out if it's gonna turn out bad or good that I'm starting to panic. I have a pretty severe paranoia disorder so my mind goes to the worst. I don't have a lot of friends who support me. I really need you guys right now. This is probably the most scared I've been in my life ):

Tell people who need to know. There are too many nosey people out there! Good luck! I am around the same time as you.

April 12th! Can't wait!

They said if all my clearances go through I should be having surgery in April as well. I have to have two visits with Nut beforehand as well. Was I. The paperwork process since late Oct. Slowed down by my decision to change wls clinics mid-stream. I have lost about 102 pounds so far, but at 450+ pounds I have plenty of weight to lose. I have been trying to follow the guidelines set out by the original place. Can't say it's been easy and I have overdone it on a few occasions, but I keep plugging away just trying to work towards my surgery date as best I can.
I would love to find a surgery buddy or a mentor. Anyone out there on a similar situation? Older, short, HW 450, CW 348, and surgery coming up in April.

Surgery went great! I'm so excited to begin my new life!!!!
