Hello all! I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months, thank you all for the great advice and sharing your experiences. It's been very helpful and informative! I met with the surgeon a week ago today, my surgery date is June 26. Anyone else for June?

Another sleeve sister!!!! Im the 17th too:) today is day 1 of preop liquid diet!!!

I'm sorry y'all... Day 4 of my pre op diet. No food. Just protein shakes & water & I'm really hungry. I know I'm doing this for a very good reason but I'm SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY frigging hungry & obsessing about food!!! All the self talk in the world isn't stopping my tummy from rumbling. I'm drinking 4-5 protein shakes a day. And a lake full of water...

Oh ..I'm so sorry but curious did Ur doctor not give u a list of approved veggies and tell u its OK to replace a shake with a few ounces of boiled chicken? Salads with fat free / sugar free dressing ? If u need the list I can e mail it.. let me know

Hey found a semi cure for the shoulder pain....icy hot patches! Allowed to me to sleep a little better! Laying on my sides is still a major issue but hoping it gets better! I hate sleeping on my back! As able to get my meds down today! Day three post op and its better then day two lol......well trying to get some outside walking in before the rains start! Best of luck to those being sleeved today!

Glad to hear you are feeling better

Thanks for that tip! Feel better!

Sleever 6-4 and all going well as I recover at home. Little pain and no naseau.

June 18 for me, yay!!

Sleeved yesterday! What a positive experience. No nausea, no pain, exept some collarbone pain, which the pain meds took care of. Sipping water, tea and broth without any problems at all. I stayed overnight at the clinic because I have sleep apnea and use a cpap maching, and I was glad to be there. The nurses were wonderful. Back home today and starting on the next stge of this adventure. Don't stress too much, future sleevers. It's really not bad at all (so far, lol)

I was sleeved yesterday also. Completely agree with Jandseakin. Not as bad as I feared. The nursing staff was wonderful. I was so glad to be able to swallow easily. Have had water , juice and broth all went down easily. No major pain so so far so good. A day at a time.

I'm scheduled for June 27th...on day 2 of the pre op diet, which is tough...definitely scared but excited!

Mine is 3 weeks...I'm sure I'll start feeling a bit better after a few more days. At least I hope so:)
