February Sleevers

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

Thank you Firelle! I'm so excited!!! This is like a dream. Good luck to all of you too. Xoxoxo. I will be posting from my hospital bed.

Wishing you the best!! Let us know how it goes!

@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.

I get protein drinks, cottage cheese, egg whites, and broth. I have to stay under 1000 calories a day.

Best of luck to those of you having your surgeries tomorrow!!

Thanks firelle! I can't believe it's almost here! I am trying so hard to keep busy, busy and not think too much. Otherwise I will panic and freak myself out. I know I want AND NEED this so badly.

himalaya62, 4my2boys and everyone else tomorrow and the rest of February GOOD LUCK AND CALM VIBES to you all! ^_^ Happy dance all around!

I hear a lot of you are required to do clear liquids a day or two before surgery. My dr hasn't said anything about that to me. I'm assuming that I just do the normal protein shake up until the night before? I'll check with my dr, but what requirements do any of you have the day or two before "the BIG day"?

Day before I do my normal liquid diet for breakfast/lunch. Then I have to do bowel cleansing around 2p and then its ONLY clear liquids after that up to 4 hrs before surgery.

My sleeve is scheduled for February 25th. Getting excited. My son was sleeved Dec 17th and down 90 lbs already with 30 of that lost prior to surgery :) Big changes at our house. Have lost some on Weight Watchers but tired if struggling all the time. Am a nurse in Missouri and ready for the changes. Good luck to all!!
