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

Add me please. My surgery is February 14th' date=' Happy Valentines Day to me [/quote']

Me too! (:

My surgery is Feb 12th, so less than a week away. I am nervous and excited.

Today is the big day. I'm already packed and ready just waiting on my boyfriend who has been so negative througout the whole process' date=' still is. , but anyway this is my day I waited so long for this day. I know god will be with me every step of the way. I have to be in at 7am. I'm sooo ready to be on the loser bench. Prayers for everyone who is having surgery today. I will update soon as I can.[/quote']

He's probably you'll find someone better when you're skinny!

Hoosiergirl and 4my2boys - its great to hear you both are doing well. Keep us updated! When do you think you'll go home? Do you feel any hunger?

I leave for home tomorrow. THey removed my drain today, so technially, I could have left today. Something about one extra day of rest seemd right to me!

NO HUNGER at all. A bit of upset stomach now and then due to acid production, but I have meds to help with that. Everyone from the surgery center was calling me "super woman" because I bounced back so quickly.

What is the invite thing about? Sorry new to group and a bit confused.

Also I'm on the pre op diet and I'm tired all the time. I've been going to bed early, feel good in the morning but get tired as the day goes on. Is it because of not having many calories? Just getting nervous. Surgery is Monday.

Hi everyone! I was sleeved on February 4, also. Woke up in a lot of pain. It has gotten better since. It is a strange sensation, gurgling and pressure. The pain meds are super helpful at this point. I am so happy and a little envious of those who are not having any issues. I am on the way home now. Passed the leak test and have kept in all my fluids! Woohoo! Here we go!

Just found out today I'm gonna be a February Sleever!! 2/26 is the day! Start preop Tuesday 2/12. I think I'm more nervous about the preop liquid diet than the actual surgery! Lol!

That is awesome. I can't wait for my date.

Kinda nervous about tomorrow I have two hour training with the nutritionist on my post operative diet kind of nervous considering I've been on two protein shakes and a light protein dinner for about a week now I'm having major withdrawals..

You can do it!!!!!!! Best of luck to you.

I have the lapband which is getting reversed to the sleeve on the 19th, when I got my lapband I remember struggling on the preop diet like I am with this one, and thinking how am I going to be able to do this for weeks after?! well the weeks after are actually easier! your stomach will be so much smaller so you won't get those hunger pains. think of it as 2 weeks of struggle for a new life!

What was your.preop diet like?

Are you allowed to have anything other then liquids on your preop diet. I'm allowed to have cheese stick yogurt pudding and cottage cheese just no more then 6 a day, it makes it a little easier but not much. Who wants to be Eating cottage cheese when their family are having hamburgers. But so far I have not given into temptations even though its hard

Good luck!!!

my preop diet was the same as it is for my sleeve now, liquids, 3 protein shakes, and one small meal, my diet before was only a few days though but lapband is a lot less invasive
