This weekend has been full of emotions and "food MOURNING". I mean I feel like Im making sure to eat the meals I think I will no longer be able to eat!..Im doing the " last meal" thingamagy but to my suprise in moderation...I do look forward to my liquid diet (strange right).... This is what I call..my " Cleansing" before the surgery....Hope all goes great!!! got all my yummy liquids...Wish me well!!

15 DAYS TIL SURGERY!!!! MAY 22ND IS ALMOST HERE!!!

Good luck to you. Will say prayers for you as well. Let us know how you are doing.

You've got this! Best of luck to you!!

I hear a lot of the sleeve veteran's say not to look at foods as you'll never eat them again. It'll just be awhile and in much smaller portions. Good luck on your liquid diet, your in the home stretch now!

Hi Trueme,

I noticed that your in Boston (i am in Waltham) and i was curious where you are going for your sleeve? I am having mine done most likely in August at Lahey in Burlington. Good luck with your liquid diet and look forward to reading your progress.

Thank you all for the amazing support!! Love you all for caring!!!

Jen31Ma-I'm having my done at Beth Isreal Hospital...I'm curious on my you choose Lahey if Boston is closer to you? Good luck also Boston is no longer charging the $500 initial fee..check it out!!

Good luck!!! You and I are getting sleeved on the same day!!! I don't have to start my diet until next Wednesday!!! But I am already thinking about my last supper...

you will do fine!!! We will do fine!

Trueme, I hear you loud and clear. I actually started mine on Saturday because I didn't want to be extra cranky at work. So far so good. Plus my nutritionist gave me two good recipes that I love. She told me to freeze vanilla protein shake and make ice cubes then add diet orange soda or diet root beer to it. It is delicious. I am having fun trying new things. Did I mention that on Friday I couldn't eat my whole cheeseburger from five guys......... So much for my last meal.....May 22nd here I come!!!!!!

I am starting my pre op tomorrow. Until just a few minutes ago, I though I only had to do 7 days, just found out I had to do 14 days so no time to do the last meal bit. I am being done on the 23rd with Dr. Kelly. I think in this post alone that their are 3 of us being done within a day of each other. We need to work through this pre-op together however that needs to happen. We can do this!

That's awesome!!! This is going to be hard only because my Sugar level dropped dangerously so I might have to Go on a partial liquid..I started to get the sweats and the shakes ..come to find out I'm not eating enough carbs..my morning to lunch calorie intake was 400..but the carbs were less than 200..my endocrinologist was not happy! This is a lot and only day 1!! Oye mind you I wasn't hungry I was find!!

Trueme, I am glad you mentioned your sugar levels because mine were low today too. I am on byetta. I will call my doc tomorrow.

My new update! PRE-OP yesterday..blood work and review..SOOOO EXCITED 2 MORE WEEKS!!!!! YESSSSSS!!! HALLELUJAH!!! ....BUT!!!! can no longer be on the diet this week..they are taking me off of it and putting me on next week. Come to find out I have lost 16lb which is good enough for me to lose for the liver...SAWEET! but Im going to stick with the partial diet from morning to lunch ( carniation and soups) just so I can get the hang of things...My sugar was going out of wack...I hope this does NOT present a problem later...Oh Lord..please let every thing go well!!
