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

Since I have been on my pre op shrink liver diet (lean proteins and veggies) half the time I don't even want to eat. Nothing even taste right anymore.....I fine myself making myself eat on some days well most day....Mu liquid diet starts on the 16th clear liquids the nite before sx on the 19th of Feb

@Tstorm

Maybe try a different drink? Slim fast contains a lot of sugar which could be contributing to your cravings. I'm on day 6 now and cravings arent so bad anymore.

I stayed on carnation today.... no cravings at all! I think it was the slimfast

Im so happy to have found this site. My surgery is on the 15th. I'm happy' date=' but a little nervous at the same time. every now and again I hear people I know ask me why, and I should just diet and excercise since I'm only 70 pounds overweight, but with my health issues, I figured i made the right decision.[/quote']
