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 am new to this site but thought I would post. My surgery is booked for Feb. 4th as well. I am on the seventh day of a two week liquid diet. Broth and Protein shakes! It does get easier after while. Still trying to get my head around not eating period. I go back and forth from scared to excited to let's get this over with already. Thinking this is fairly normal. I have lost 5 pounds a week in...I'll take it.

Me too! But I slipped today. I had a small salad with boiled shrimp on it. I'm supposed to be on my 2 week pre op diet but I couldn't stand it any longer. We were with a group of friends at the beach. I knew I shouldn't have gone into that restaurant! Damn! Well I have one more week to go. No more cheating!!!!

I wll be having surgery on the same day as you! All the best! Yes, the diet does get a little easier as you go. I'm starting to get really excited and a bit nervous. I will be getting my sleeve done in Tijuana. Where will you have your surgery?

I am getting it done in Saskatchewan,Canada. All the best to you too!

I'm having my sleeve at Cleveland Clinic Florida near Ft Lauderdale
