January is coming fast! How is everyone feeling?

Hi January sleevers! I am scheduled for January 8 and will be starting my pre-op diet on Christmas day! Is anyone else getting excited or nervous?

Hey! I'm very excited! I start my pre-op diet on December 28th and my surgery date is January 4th! I just found out about this website from my surgeon and it looks like this is an amazing place, I am both nervous and thrilled about getting my surgery! Hope all is well!

I am new here as well and not doing avery good job navigating through these forms and topics, BUT..I do wish you well with your surgery. I can't wait!!!!

My surgery is Jan. 17 and I'm excited and impatient. Four weeks to go and it cannot get here fast enough! :)

Good luck to all of my fellow Jan. sleevers!

My surgery is January 15 and I am so excited that it is finally going to happen! I start my pre op diet on January 1 and I am busy researching items I will buy for the diet.

My surgery is 2 days after yours. I went shopping for my pre-op diet yesterday and I bought protein shakes, no sugar added clear juices, and broths mostly. I also bought some things for after surgery like liquid Tylenol, Gas-X strips, Powerade Zero, and Listerine breath strips (for ketosis breath), but I didn't want to stock up on too many food and drinks for after surgery just in case I can't tolerate them once my taste buds change.

My surgery is scheduled for January 11th. Getting nervous, but I have read and heard so many positive things about having this surgery which is keeping me going. Started my liquid diet this weekend, and I have to admit that I found myself more anxious about that, feeling as though I would never be able to eat again. I know that is ridiculous. Must be my emotions talking. 2013 will be our year, January Sleevers!

Hello, my surgery is Jan 16. I was nervous but have come to terms with it the last couple of days. I too have been shopping for things I will need. As icon23 stated Im being careful not to over buy in case I cant tolerate a certain Item. Really wishing the best for everyone. Hope to hear good news for all in the coming months :)
