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

It gets easier kndi. Just stay away from others eating and weekends are a little tough. I think the first 4 days were the hardest but then I had no oroblems

Thank you for the encouragement. I drank my dinner so I think I will play it safe and go to bed with my book. One day down...six more to go.

After 4 days it gets easier and then just stay clear of restaurants' date=' drive thrus, and just people eating. I could have a few sugar free hard candies and that helped me. I had 3 due to it would make you gassy lol[/quote']

Any kind of candy sounds good right now

Try a few sugar free. It helped me over the humps. I think during my 14 day liquid diet I had maybe a total of 10 pieces?

The sugar free butterscotch were wonderful

I did too for the 1st 4-5 days of pre op liquid diet. After that I went on and was excited to start a eating healthy board, I was doing shakes and pb 2 recipes etc (: I just looked at it differently

At the hotel. Shuttle will be here at 645 am to take us to the center. Can't wait. Tonight should be interesting trying to sleep. And tomorrow starts a new day.

I got the pre-op diet blues.

I just don't know which protein flavor to choose.

Everyone around me's eating what they please.

Pizza' date=' fried rice, macaroni and cheese.

I'm just trying to choke yet another shake down.

Ok look, now they're passing candy around.

I'm about to eat my own shoe.

I totally understand that about the food being everywhere! I don't know if you have kaiser permanente but they have a good chocolate optifast meal replacement shake! If not I like the chocolate muscle milk. I know how you feel about choking 1 more shake down. And I wish I could tell you it gets better right away, I am 5 days post op and the smell of food is killing me! But even if I wanted to I couldn't because my sleeve couldn't tolerate it! Just hang in there I know it's hard but I also know that it will be worth all we are going through! To be skinny & healthy, That will be our prize! And what will those people have that we're passing around all that food, moment on the lips and a lifetime on the hips! they will be trying yet another diet and failing while you are getting skinnier by the moment! Hang in there ok, we both can get through this! Hope this helped.

good luck to all the February 19th sleevers!!!!! this time tomorrow we will be done and resting!

Good luck! Keep us posted on how everything goes!

Ok y'all!! Its official, today is the day. I cant believe im doing this, but i know its necessary. So many efforts to lose weight in the past, and no maintenance.
