March 1, 2013 Sleevers shout out

Thought I'd start a thread for those of us being sleeved on the 1st. It would be fun for all of us to check in with each other after our procedures and compare how everyone is doing. It would also be a nice support for prior to the surgery because this pre op diet sucks and is HARD!!!!

Speaking of pre op diets. What do your doctors have you doing? I'm confused as to why some people only have to do a 24 hour liquid diet, while some (me included) have to do 2 protein shakes and 1 protein and green meal for 2 weeks and still others have to do 1 month of liquid! I want some cottage cheese. Anyone allowed to have that pre op? I read somewhere its ok. Just wondering. I'm only on day 3 and its hard (did I say that already?). :)

Just arrived at my hotel in Vegas. Going to see the surgeon and nutritionist in 45 minutes. Then I get a last meal! Can't wait! Starting to be nervous, but at the same time it doesn't seem real. On roller coaster of emotions! Good luck to all!!!

Do you believe what I am getting the day before my surgery.Noo

I am feeling much better, not that I have met the doctors, toured the very clean and wonderful hospital. It was all professional and comforting. Now I just have regular nerves of having surgery... Tomorrow at 9:00!! I am excited to be over that part and on to healing and whatever may come my way..

Check in and let us know how you are all doing??

I am sitting in a hotel room, just took my antibiotic and I am getting ready for bed, when I wake up tomorrow morning I will be on my way to get my sleeve. WOW.... I am all over still and just kind of want to be doing it right now.. I know I am not changing my mind, I know this is what Ineed to do, and now the nerves fear etc, are just annoying.. LETS DO THIS... Hope the pill they gave me to help sleep works I would love to have a good sleep.

Hope everyone is doing amazing, and Keep in touch here when you can.

Have a wonderful night March 1st sleevers! Get some rest and I will say a prayer that everything goes well
