I'm set up for February 4th. Seems like forever away. People keep telling me, "oh don't worry". It bugs me cause I'm not worried. What seems to keep popping in my head is, am I doing the right thing.

I would like to here what others are thinking, going through.

My Doctors plan is two days preop clear liquid, not 10 like I've been reading on here. Anyone else similar?

Thanks,

Kimo

Thanks Emmy!!!!

It does get easier! The first day was the hardest. I had a headache day 3-4 then it was smooth sailing from then on. I'm on day 10 now. 3 more days of liquid diet then my new life begins!

Yes horrible headache day 1 & Day 5 omg it was awful. I just took Vitamins, more Protein Drink, & Tylenol. I'm on Day 6 now, then Clears on Sunday. 2/6 Surgery in Mexico!

Emmy my surgery is 2/12. I started liquid diet this past Monday. Just stick with it! It will get better! I had a slight headache late on day 1 but since then I've been fine. Not hungry or anything. I have to make sure I am keeping busy though! And I make sure to avoid looking at, being around, smelling, touching food AT ALL! LOL! Good luck!

Started pre op diet today 12 days of liquids but I think this is the hardest part. Surgery will be on Feb 13 in Erie Pa. This is one journey that I am really looking forward too.

Well I made it through day one!!!! Not too bad , I did ignore all the food that my co-workers ordered I stayed off Pinterest! We will see how the weekend goes as I am off the whole time.

One good filling recipe I did last night and this morning was take the unjury vanilla with skim milk, frozen strawberries, banana and ice in a blender and it was a pretty good smoothie!

I am February 4 also! Nervous and excited!

Best of luck to all February Sleevers!

Hello! My date is Feb 26 in Dayton, OH! The pre-op appt is an all-day thing on Feb 11, the day before my daughter's 3rd birthday. I'm 33, 5'4, 340. Can't believe this is finally happening!!!

Feb 11th here! Have been on the liquid pre op diet since Monday. Slipped up today and ate pizza. I feel super crappy for cheating but I'm getting back to it and committing to the liquid once again! Never thought not chewing food would affect my mood as much as it has. It reminds me of when I quit smoking years ago. :-/

Surgery date is Feb 5th.....my doctor requires a week of liquids prior to surgery.

SOOO EXCITED BUT SCARED!!

MINE IS 2/15/13

WITH DR. GUILLERMO ALVAREZ IN PIEDRAS NEGRAS IN MEXICO

Mines is Feb 25th.. Pre op diet starts the 11th.. Can't wait!! Good luck to everyone!!

Keep at it, TP (hehe) and don't beat yourself up. I quit smoking years ago myself, and it was amazing how much I craved the physical sensations after quitting - holding it in my hand etc. This is the last unaided diet you'll ever have, and probably the hardest as we are all kind of a jumble of emotions right now.
