Didn't it feel wonderful to get that call? Excited for you. My surgery is also the 6th[emoji3]. We are finally on our way!!! Congrats and best of luck.

Proud of you for 8 pre op days! I just finished my 4th and like you it's a struggle. Anything worthwhile is worth doing it no matter what. I find sometimes it's not taking this a day at a time but rather an hour at a time. In about another wk (if ur doing this for 2 wks) all this will be over with. Yea. And loosing those 11 lbs must make you proud of yourself! You're doing great. What is ur sleeve date?

It won't be long and it'll be time to pack for the hospital. For those who've had their surgery would you please share what was essential? I'm an 'overpacker' by nature but don't want to take a lot of stuff I'm not going to need/use. I know it's going to be important to walk around so what would you suggest to wear? Doesn't seem that anything with a waistband would be wise. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi...if u hear of a group please let me know. Just got my sleeve date a couple of days ago..June 6th. Two wks from today. Started my diet yesterday. I know how excited u r cause I am too! Good for us...

Hi. I've finally logged on here after reading comments for weeks. What a wonderful support group here! I've enjoyed the tips, feelings, struggles, and triumphs etc. Finally created my own account today as I received THE call to schedule sleeve surgery just awhile ago. Needless to say I'm 'mildly nervous and excited'. Surgery is June 6th! Oh my. Starting pre op diet Sunday and would love to get some of your suggestions for 'tasty' protein drinks/bars. So looking forward to making new friends here and if you have any helpful hints to share as I begin this life changing journey I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you for all those wonderful suggestions. The koolaid and jello open up a whole new avenue of flavors! Maybe all the protein drinks ahead of me won't b too bad.

Oh thank u for the info. Nice to know there r different flavors out there...I know that I'll get tired of chocolate in short time.

Thank you for some protein drink/bar guidance. Guess my head is spinning since I faxed last of required paperwork yest morning and got the call this morning to schedule surgery (June 6). Thought it would take more than 24 hrs and now seems as tho there is SO much to get done...just over 2 wks. Not looking forward to pre op diet so I may be asking for some help/encouragement from you 'pros' who have gotten thru it.
