Don't be afraid. I literally remember going into the OR and waking up in recovery. All seemed like one minute:) think positive thoughts. Best to you.

I had mine on April 10th. I am 5 days out, today!

I had mine 5 days ago and I was walking around the next day.

I'm scheduled for April 30. I start my two-week pre-op diet tomorrow. I am so ready to make this change in my life.

I didn't do a 2 week pre-op. I just cut down what I ate little by little. 4 days before soft foods like mashed potatoes then with 2 days left liquids and nothing else to eat or drink the night of the surgery. I lost 20 pounds before my surgery in 3 weeks.

I had my surgery On April 9. Will be 7 days post op 2morrow.

How long is everyone taking off of work?

One week, barring no complications.

April 23 is my surgery date! I'm so excited but getting anxious. Please add me to the group Moniquejameyson@yahoo.com

I am April 22nd also, I am so excited. Readingball your post is giving me so much joy.

Hi, I'm Liz. I'm new to the app and new to the forum. Got approval today and my surgery is scheduled for April 30th. Have to start my two week liquid diet tomorrow and I'm a little worried. Reading posts here sure helps!!

I started my pre-op diet today, and so far so good. I was nervous before, and I have decided to just do everything as directed. Once I got a new perspective, I am felling pretty optimistic about the pre-op diet, especially because this means I am that much closer to my surgery!

Hey April Sleevers (My new family)!

I am having revision surgery from the lap band to the sleeve. Yesterday I went to have my lab work done in preparation for my surgery on the 30th of April. When I got on the scale my heart almost dropped when the scale read 313. I had maintained 285 for nearly 4 years since my last fill. Then I had a reality check, all of the solution had been removed from my band almost 2 months ago. With that being said I got to enjoy what I had not been able to enjoy for the last 4 years. It had been so long since I heard my stomach growl that when it growled I ate. I ate until I was full. Now that I have had my fill of all the good things I missed I am mentally prepared to start this new journey of my life. I want to thank each and everyone of you for your post. This site has been so helpful and Iook forward everyday to the new post. The days are coming pretty fast and I must say I am excited. I promise to keep you guys posted on my success, please continue to make post and provide all of the great advice. Good luck to all future sleevers and those who have already been sleeved.

FYI..Any suggestions of any specific kinds of protein I need to get in preparation for after surgery? Talk to you soon!

Hi there, I'm scheduled for April 18th...tomorrow is my liquid cleanse and I am starting to get nervous. 2 weeks of pre op dieting and i've lost 10 pounds so far...have to say it hasn't been too bad but I can't wait to eat some different textures again. Wishing everyone success. .. so glad this site is here..been a true gift!
