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

@Jussme. What's your pre-op diet? Mine starts on the 4th and I get 2 protein drinks a day and a small meal. No snacks just water.

Hi fellow februarians lol mine is on the 13th at 7:30 I am 5'3" and currently 295lbs my goal is to weight 150lbs so I need to lose half my body weight! I will rock this sleeve!

My surgery isn't until the 21st but I almost have the exact same stats as you. I'm the same height but I weigh 298 and my goal is 150 too! Lets do this!

Looks like I found this site just in time. My surgery is 2/18' date=' post-op 2/11. First week of diet supposed to start Monday the 4th with week of liquids starting the 11th. Finding this site has really gotten me excited now!![/quote']

My surgery is the 18th too!

I am scheduled for Feb 21st. Had my final appointment today where I learned everything there is to know about vitamins and protein. I cant wait to be able to do things that my friends do and not be physically un comfortable. Keeping that in my mind makes the fear of surgery go away. I learned to focus on the positive outcome vs my fear of surgery. So excited!!

3 week liquid diet starts 2-5. Surgery 2-25!! Excited' date=' but nervous![/quote']

3 weeks of liquids only? Wow!

Yeah that is what I'm trying to do too! Focus on the positive good luck to you!

Omg less then a week away for me. 4 days to be exact. I feel like I have so much to prepare for and so little time left. Before I felt like it was so long away for my surgery date. Now I feel like I don't have enough time to prepare. Lol. I did my pre op yesterday (Friday) all I have left is an upper GI, and I'm in. This feels like I just won the freaking mega millions jackpot. I walk around with a big smile on my face all day. However I'm mourning food already and I didn't even have the surgery and I'm not on a pre op diet lol. My prayers go out to every single one in this group and others. God bless :-)

im on my pre diet lost 23 ilb in 9 days .. my surgery is feb. 7 im from chattanooga tn.

Feb 26th for me' date=' pre op starts Feb 12th, pretty excited.[/quote']

We have the same sleeve date and starting liquid diet date!! Good luck with everything.

My surgery is Wed 2/6...seems surreal.

My date is on the 6th... I was thinking the same way but then I look at myself in the mirror and say yes! As far as my pre opt diet... I was on a 1200 cal diet since last Wednesday and as of Monday I will be on liquids only. I guess every doctor is different... Good luck! Sending good vibes your way!

I'm 2/6 as well. Do you start clears Monday?

I mean SUNDAY!

i had my last appt was this past Thurs. my pre-op bloodwork is being done 2/14. pre-op diet starts the same day. 2 protein shakes, water, and a small meal per day. Surgery is 2/20!!

I'm on day 3 and today seems harder than the other 2 days I feel a little weak, light headed (headache from no caffeine) and nausea at times...I'm on clear liquid and protein shakes for the next 11 days before surgery...I'm definitely getting enough fluids I just didn't know if anyone out there ever felt like this either?
