I'm being sleeved on May 16th by Dr. Lutfi in Chicago. Any other May people out there?

Hey there

I'm scheduled for May 15th at 1pm

If i can make it through this 10 day liquid diet the rest should be easy' date=' i've never looked forward to using my blender to chop meat in my life...

The first day was pretty bad, i was very grouchy... It's just trying to keep myself busy so i can forget about the hunger pains which are still very strong as is my headache. I think my body is pissed, its making the most awful sounds....

But i can't wait!

Scared, excited and ready to be healthy and able to fit into a rollercoaster again..

Good luck with everyone!

are you doing a clear liquid diet or are you able to have Protein shakes? I'm on day 2 of a 5 day clear liquid diet. it's not terrible... just hard mentally. surgery is Friday and I'm very excited!!

Well hello sleeve sisters!! May 15th at 1230 here!!!

Hey everyone,

I am a week out from surgery, May 14. I have been on a liquid diet with a lean cuisine at night. I lost 18 pounds in one week!!! I can't wait to see what the scale holds next week. I love the Protein shake from GNC. It is called Go Lean shake and only has 170 calories. YUMMY!

I haven't started my liquid diet yet. Have May 9th pre-op where I will be given my instructions. I am so excited to get this started. I backed out of the bypass surgery 3 years ago. Am glad that I waited so I could have the sleeve.

Have been reading everything that I can find about the surgery. Still can't get the hubbie on the band wagon, but everyone else is as excited as I am.

I have an 8am checkin and surgery should be around 9:30 or 10am.

My wife was the same way. I went to the meeting by myself to learn about the sleeve. Really she has a fear of death, so I understand. I told her "Rather I can chance it now and live for a long healthy life for a long time or I can have all these problems and die sooner." So go Froggylady. Do what has to be done and he will come aboard after he sees how much happier you are. I don't know from experience, but just looking at the pictures of the people who have had the sleeve.

Lolly-

I'm on full Protein shakes, sugar free Jello and pina colada popsicles.... All the broth i have tried makes me gag, it smells so bad..

I just wish i could eat fruit or even veggies..

My hubby made it through 2 days with me and he finally gave up this morning, but he is a typical man and not following the 5 shake a day deal..

It's just really hard with a "normal" size tummy...I pray that after this is done and Protein Shake will fill me up and i won't have the shakes and headache like i'm starving...

Just waxed my car that's how busy i'm trying to keep my brain!

I am afraid of death too but like I told my family, its a lot more likely that I will die from a car accident or from obesity related issues than from the surgery. Its why I took so long and so much effort finding the right surgeon for me. My surgery is in less than three days and I am terrified at times and at other times I am sooooooooooooooo excitedddddddddddddddd! In a way I am glad I have finals at school because it leaves me less time to think about this. Like I told my aunt yesterday (who is thinking of having the surgery next) I know its not going to be easy and I know I am making a huge change in my body and my life, but everything in me tells me its for the best.

Rai I wish I had time to wax my car! My daugther asked me yesterday what I wanted for mothers day (I will be gone for mothers day :-( since my surgery is in Mexico (on Mexican Mothers day!) and I don't return until Sunday. My answer was "I have more than I ever wanted, but it would be awesome if I find a my car clean when I get home!" LOL..... I should had mentioned I would love to have my house clean too but that might be pushing it LOL

I GOT SLEEVED ON THE 1ST, AND IT'S BEEN INTERESTING TO SAY IN THE LEAST.
