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

I'm scheduled for my sleeve Feb. 4th. It can't get here soon enough. I am on day 5 of my pre op diet. The first day was the hardest. Now it's pretty easy! I have my pre op visit with my surgeon and anesthesiologist in Jan 31. Super Bowl I get clear liquids! Go team Go!!!!????????☀????

Im February 6th and had my pre-op today. No liquid diet till day before surgery. Im excited but nervous at the same time this is going to be the longest 11days

Rose & my3sons I'm 2/6 too self pay in Mexico, where are you getting sleeved?

I have the same diet & I start in a couple days what kind of Protein shake did you get?

I have naked protein I got on amazon and make my own. I have some fit4life I picked up ages ago that's food. It's strawberry kiwi. I also have some veggie Soup from BA. I will want more rjongs savory than a month of sweet. That's why I like the naked protein. I even put it in my coffee. The trick it to let it sit for a while and let the protein take on the coffee flavor. I sometimes nuke it to warm it back up. That's the key with unflavored protein. BA also sells a protein elixir ....I have white grape and you can add it to anything. It's a great way to ads 10 grams to your Water. Hope that's not info overload lol also great thing for right after surgery is the BA with all the Vitamins and Calcium in it! It's pricey, but a great way to get protein AND vitamins that first two weeks.

I haven't tried them yet but stopped at GNC on my way home from work today. I bought 4 of the Isopure Protein drinks. They are buy 3 get 1 free so it was a better deal. Total was 16. They are 24 oz so two servings a bottle' date=' 40 grams of protien total, 0 carbs. From what I read/videos, people either love or hate them. The main reason I decided on these was the are like Gatorade instead of a shake which I don't like. Will let you know how they taste :)[/quote']

I got a few...they are just OK! I have them in the fridge for after surgery

Ditto! I also get to watch the Super Bowl on clear liquids. Should be interesting!

My sleeve is scheduled for February 25th. I'm a little worried about recovering on my own with no help, as my husband will be in Europe, but still very excited about having it done.

I'm scheduled for 2/27. I can not wait. I have never been thin and excited to see the changes and stop shopping in lane Bryant!! I start my preop diet on 2/13 for 2 full weeks. 4 Protein shakes a day, veggies and sugar free drinks and Jello. Go February sleeves!!!!

Anyone from pa?

I will have my surgery on Feb. 20th. Will be on a 2 week pre-op diet. Think Slimfast or Medifast. combination of 5 protein bars and shakes and one meal in the evening 5 oz of lean meat and veggies.

As for as not worried, everyone is different and you will handle it the way that works for you. Best of luck and much success!

Lexington, KY Feb 19th
