Next Week Sleevers ? Or Anyone Whom Are Upcoming April Sleevers?

I am back full force. I am able to have my surgery next week!!! YAYAY!! The class that is due before surgery, well they my doctor is allowing me to take it one week after my surgery. I was so upset when they told me it was a possiblity that I woul have to reschedule. I prayed about it over this past weekend and made up my mind that if it was meant then it will be. Anyway, how are you all that are being sleeved next week? How are you feeling? Is reality sinking in? Any doubts before next week? How are your pre op diets, has any of you slipped up? ARE U READY FOR THIS NEW CHANGE THAT IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE??? Please weigh in and share your thoughts and emotions...

Good luck to everyone of us this month who is having surgery. I am scheduled to have my surgery first thing Wednesday morning. I have to be at the hospital at 5:45 am. Hopefully I will be home on Thursday night around 5pm. I am nervous looking forward to eating real food again. I have been on 3 weeks of protien shankes I will know my exact weight tomorrow when I go in for my final weigh in.

What Multivitamins is everyone going to take after surgery. I am going to buy some tomorrow night. I need to call everyone in my family just to give them an update.

Hopefully this time on Wednesday I will be in recovery or in my room.

Funny I don't know what multi's I will be taking i guess I will find out what I can have tomorrow and my friend will pick them up for me so I have them at home, otherwise i have been taking a reg multivitamin.....

Gosh I don't even go into the hosp till 10 am and my surgery isn't till 2 pm talk about a nail biting moment! ...lol

this time tomorrow I will be checked in hopefully in my room waiting ....YIKES !!!

Goodluck everyone !! xoxo love and light !!

My surgery is 4/18 and I am so nervous. I am über prepared, I made a huge pot of turkey bean Soup, puréed, frozen and ready to go. I take the Bariatric fusion Vitamins ans really like them. It's simple. One pill 3x per day.

Mines on the 23rd to!..I feel the same way

Good to know I am not the only one.

I ordered the chewable complete MVI from Celebrate in forest berry. They're expensive but I thought for the first month after surgery they would be important. They kind of just dissolve in your mouth. The dietitian just said to not get a gummy and do a chewable that says "complete." Flintstones makes one, but I don't like them.. Good luck everyone!

Mine is on the 24th , excited but sometime hungry pre op diet started last monday . today not really hungey but i am gonna try to get that 70 grams of protein in. good luck all and best wishes. Lets do this ! :)

Hi everyone! I am new here. Joined so I could get some encouragment and see if anyone else is struggling like me. My surgery is April 30th. Started the protein shakes and i am starving!!!! Does anyone have any suggestions? :unsure:

My surgery is tomorrow the 17th. Today is my last day of work and it feels is the longest. Super nervous. I can't stop thinking about it. The hospital hasnt called yet to give me the time I have to be there. Not prepared yet. Today I did all my laundry so I won't have nothing dirty , I'm super super nervous.

OMG I am soooo nervous !!!! Only 2 more days!!!! They better knock me out quick!!! Lol

Does anyone have any suggestions about how to not be starving? I actually want to cry, I'm so hungry! I can't do this for 2 weeks. :'-(

They just called me from the hospital for my surgery tomorrow. I have to be there at 730am. Oh god. Pray for me people. I'm super scared !

LoL jeeze i wish i would have gotten called for 7:30 ... I am not till 12 and my surgery isnt till 2 !! you will be fine :) good luck ( even tho you don't need it )

Drink lots of fluids I make a pitcher of crystal light (or any type of sugar free kool aid) and a pitcher of Water. I alternate drinking one then the next one. I get in about a gallon of water in a day. I have given up sodas for the most part for about 2 months now. I have one every now and then but try and stay away from it.

When I get hungry I drink a glass or water or crystal light. If I am still hungry I drink a teaspoon of pickle juice or banana pepper juice to give me some flavor. It is not that bad and it wont hurt you. Be strong remember we need to get out livers as small as possible so the doctor has plenty of room to work.

Good luck!

I have to be at the hospital and checked in by 745 tomorrow. I'm really nervous but trying to keep my mind occupied. About the multivitamins, I was told I could just take Flinstones Complete because they r chewable. Otherwise I know they have gummies too!!
