Tomorrow is game day! 8:30 check-in and 11:30 surgery. Just finished cleaning the house and picking up the last of my post-op preps. I wonder if I'll get any sleep tonight.

Good luck to everyone else going in tomorrow or later in the month!

Good luck tomorrow Stef!

I'm Jan 22nd also!! I start my liquid diet tomorrow.

Is it a full liquid diet? I have veggies, yogurt, Atkins shakes, and fruit on my list.

Jan 17 for me, been on my pre op/liver shrinking diet since Dec 28. Down 18lbs. Leave 1 week tomorrow for San Diego. Dr Ismael Cabrera will be performing my sleeve. Almost time.

Good luck to everyone this week.

Good luck to everyone going this week! I can't wait for the 23rd to get here for my turn. Although I am anxious with trying to prepare for the liquid diet I start on the 16th and that part if things. The actual surgery doesn't have me worried but everything else does! Lol

Hi everyone!! I just wanted to wish my fellow January sleevers good luck!!

I am 5 days post op and I'm feeling terrific! Since I got home I have felt well enough to cook, clean, do laundry, grocery shop, etc.

I'm so thankful to be sleeved. I'm down 32lbs since I started my pre-op diet.

I hope everyone who has been sleeved is also feeling great. Good luck to those of you getting sleeved soon. You won't regret it!

I am getting very anxious, I am down for Jan.30th! Hope that all that have been sleeved already are doin well. Can't wait to be post op myself.

It is a liquid diet called Optifast that I had to purchase from my surgeon's office.

I'm scheduled for 1/21 and today was my first day on the pre op diet. Also my first day being smoke free. It was a lil bit hard but I made it through. Can't wait to get this done!

I am one week from today! January 16th at 1:00 pm. I was doing great on liquid diet having just a few cups of spinach or carrots and cucumber with rice vinegar, but hit a wall today! For the first time in a week I wanted food so bad I cried!

Feeling like a failure (I ate a piece of cheese and 3 mini pretzels) I came to bed. Now so upset I can't sleep. I want this so much, why am I so freaking weak!???! Ok thanks for letting me air it out- done with pitty party and try to rest.

Prayers for all is Jan sleeves!! God bless you all and good luck.

My sleeve is tomorrow excited and nervous at the same time

Good luck... I'm leaving for the hospital in a couple of hours for mine

On my way to hospital today is the day

Good luck to all sleevers

Sarah,

I'm 5'9"... Good luck tomorrow!!! What's your goal? I'm shooting for 100 lost by August 6th :)

Good luck to you too. I don't have any specific goals. I'm just going to do as much as I can as fast as I can. These first 6 months will be crucial I think. I'm gonna work my booty off, LITERALLY!!

I check in at 11:15. I'm looking forward to hearing how you're doing.
