I am scheduled for March 1. No pre-op diet was required but I am trying to stay with Soups liquids and Protein Shakes. I was on the HMR diet required by our insurance for 3 months preop but my MD does not require a specific pre op for his sleeves.

So excited to be in such good company. The time is upon us, as March is just about here. I hope we can continue this thread of "Marchers". Supporting one another as we each progress on this journey.

At this point I am both nervous and excited. So ready to see that scale start going down. Nervous about what is ahead. I started my pre-op fluids a week early, as I've had liver enzyme problems in the pass, and want that liver to be shrunk as small as possible when the Dr goes in. Haven't been 100% compliant, but enough to realize that next week is going to be h*ll. I think the liquid only is gonna be the worst part...

I also started about a month ago with the Vitamins, Biotin for hair and shampooing/conditioning with the Nioxin and using an Arbonne scalp stimulator hair cream (really worried about the Hair loss aspect). What about everyone else??? Anything else I should or could be doing?

Look forward to reading the posts of those who go ahead of me.

Luck to all

I'm your honorary * March Sleever.... Feb. 28th. with Dr. Barnes from Baylor Medical in Fort Worth. Surgery is Monday at Forest Park Medical Center in Dallas, TX

I'm getting so nervous! liquid diet say 6 and all I can think about is if I can do this for 6 days why can't I do this on my own without the surgery...... part of me is excited the other part feels like a failure.

Oh Well, I know i will get over that feeling soon.

I have the VERY same thoughts! I am on day 4 of my 2 weeks pre-op and I keep thinking if I am doing so well with this why can't I do it alone? I know at some point I will fail at this and then I remember why the surgery is necessary! I have lost 7.4lbs so far since starting the pre-op.

My surgery is on the 16th but I'm flying into San Diego on the 15th just so I wouldn't feel so jet-lagged being that I'm coming all the way from GA..Also I'm traveling alone :thumbs_down: :sad_smile: . Have you started your pre-op diet and if so are you drinking your Protein yet? PM me if you like and I will give you my phone number. I would LOVE to talk with you to help ease my nerves :scared: LOLpost-37638-13813667965299_thumb.jpg

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
