My sleeve surgery was 12/28. My dr protocol is only clear liquids the first week so I wouldn't worry about getting any food in at all. In fact it can be dangerous while your new stomach is healing. Focus on fluids only at this point. Good luck!

Just found out insurance approved me! I'm SOOOO relieved as I was really worried.

Updating my status. Had my post-op hernia/pre-op sleeve appt yesterday! All boxes have been checked so now I'm just waiting on insurance approval and my official date for my sleeve is 12/28. I'm first on the schedule for the day. Since I'm on the lower end of the BMI for insurance approval my dr actually doesn't want me to do the full 2 week pre-op diet. He also said he was just in there doing the hernia and saw my liver and so he isn't concerned with that. He just wants me to do the 2 day clear liquid diet before surgery. I'm SO relieved! I would have totally done whatever I needed to do obviously but knowing I can eat my last meal before Surgery on Christmas day will be kind of cool!
