In approx 24 hours I will be getting up to go to the hospital. I think what I'm doubting the most is, this isn't like any diet I've ever been on. Weight watchers for example, oh ill use my extra points, or ill start Monday. Essentially there is no way to quit or cheat or start over Monday. So I need to tell myself, do this and do it well. Don't stop and for once in your life be healthy and happy! It's going to be tough but I can and will. Do this!

Preop diet starts today, just one more holiday. I've had 33 Christmas' I could enjoy it even more next year! My last supper was pops Cereal, as if I hadn't been last suppering it since Oct when this all started!

You will do great Ortega. I was sleeved on 12/19 and am loving it. I have no hunger, food has no interest to me at the moment, although I can't wait to be off the Protein Shakes and be able to eat some real food. Your new tummy will not allow you to cheat, and if you do it'll let you know. I wish you the best of luck and hope you have a quick recovery. Just some advice, roll your shoulders for any gas pain in the chest/back/shoulders...it helped me alot!

We will do great tmrw and for the rest of our lives!!!! Stay focused and positive! We must approach this like if not this then nothing else. This can't be just another diet!!!! If we do that we will never use it to our maximum potential!

Congrats to all of tomorrow's sleevers. I am 4 months and 11 days post op. and down 109 pounds.

As far as will is work?....i am a 5 time WW quitter. And name every other diet and I've done it. I am loving my sleeve. I cannot self sabotage myself anymore!

Follow your plan to a T. Dont stress, stay relaxed. Sip sip sip! I battled dehydration my first few weeks. That was my biggest challenge. Everything else has been perfect!

Good luck!
