Hello,

I am relatively new to the site do there may have already been this thread prior so I apologize.

Just wondering of the planned/anticipated novembers?

For me, once I hit day 4 and 5, I was over the hunger. It's mind over matter - just try and stay busy, go to sleeve earlier. I cleaned out my cupboards and my closet and went shopping for smaller clothes and it helped make me look forward and not think about the diet.

Lol and my go to "sleeve" earlier, I meant sleep

Can you tell what's on my mind?

Lol.yup. I wasn't hungry at all until now and bam starving hunger pain growling lol

Hang in there! Day 2 like I said is not great. When do you head home? Get moving around to the extent you can to move the gas pains. Day 3 hopefully is better for you. Keep me posted on your progress

Majority of today I slept. I woke up every 2 hours and walked and it helped with the gas. I'm feeling better. I head home tomorrow I think I'll be more comfortable at home.

My surgery Nov 19th in Las Vegas .. Nervous.. No liquid diet

So excited for tomorrow to come. I'm ready! Having a hard time concentrating at work. My sx is not till 11:30 so it will be a long time fasting after midnight...

You will be so excited that it won't be hard to fast. Congrats and good luck!

November 20th for me. Nothing like Thanksgiving week to do this... I am 14 days and counting. I am on PreOp diet and doing okay. Meeting with the doctor tomorrow and the nutritionist. I am excited. Started playng tennis (after 30 years. LOL) and I am having a blast and feeling motivated already!

NOV 19TH...I am so anxious...Im having a revision from a band...so worried it wont work but dont have the time or money for the RNY

Yippee! I am done! Just had my barium swallow and it's all good! Seriously best perk so far is the fact I could only swallow 2 sips of the barium!! New life here I come!

Hello everybody :0))

Congrats to all the Nov sleeves !! I'm excited to say I got my date too :0)) ,, Nov 19th

Can't wait to be on the losers bench !!! May god bless each and everyone and safe and speedy recovery !!

How bad is the barium? I'm so afraid its going to be so nasty it will make me sick. I got real sick after one of my c-sections and that was not fun at all....

I should add I'm.two days in to a fifteen day preop all liquids and I'm ready to cry

- I felt the same way! all liquid all the time - makes me gag. so everyday I add something (I know I'm not supposed to) but I have a yogurt or sf jell or a piece of plain turkey. If not I would scream. I figure three days before surgery (which is this Monday 11/12) I will have nothing but a few shakes; water and clear broth. I can't drink 5 shakes a day - simply can't do it. Other people may be able to, but not me. Good luck everyone!

The pre-op diet is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I won't lie, I cheated a couple times during the first week. I've stuck to it this week, but its been difficult. I only have 3 more days. I cannot wait until its over and my diet was somewhat easier than most people's.

I'm on day 7 and I promise promise promise it gets easier. Hang in there.

I am scheduled for the 27th and started liquids today. Will you please tell me what an average day looks like for you with liquids? Thank you!
