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?

Good luck to everyone that is scheduled this week!

I got sleeved June 12, I'm praying these two weeks of liquids goes by fast. I'm amazed at the pounds I'm dropping. Starting weight 241, day of surgery 233, today @ 224. Gas pains are still uncomfortable but better. Each day does get better. I'm having so much trouble getting water in, I don't want to get dehydrated. But seems like each time I swallow anything, I can feel more gas build up and a lot of pressure over the main incision on my right side. May everyone have a speedy recovery!!!

Today is day 5 of 13 of my pre op diet...I have never reached the "not hungry" state and each evening the hunger is intense. But I'm doing it (never thought I'd be successful!). And I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.... Down 4 pounds so far. I hope that number rises to at least 10 by June 25th!

Hey Busterdoodoo, I'm the 25th too! I start preop diet tomorrow but my Dr just requires high protein. Are you ready for our big day?

i really need support. i am terrified. Im getting my sleeve done on the 27th in mexico by Dr. Aceves in Mexicali

I'm having mine done by Dr Aceves on the 25th!! See you there!!

Also have surgery on the 28th I started my pre-op diet on Friday. I am not going to weigh myself from. Friday (334lbs) to surgery day so I can be surprised I lost 19lbs in 14days on the same pre-op diet in 2008 with my Lap-Band so I am looking forward to the # at the hospital weigh in!

I am very ready!! Was nervous about a month ago but now it's just excitement. To stay busy this week so im not focused on hunger, i will clean one room thoroughly each night and finish up some yardwork. If i stay busy i do better. So i set out a schedule of something to do each day until surgery. What about you?

18lbs? What are u eating? So 18lbs since the 10th?

I know exactly how you feel. I'm 6 days out and was going to return to work on Wednesday. There's no way, I told my boss I'd be another week. I feel very alienated right now and not my usually spunky self. My guess is because of being on just liquids. It's hard to watch other people sit around and eat and be full of energy. I'm exhausted and tired of liquids. I imagine we'll feel better once we are on normal foods. I think everyone goes through this in the beginning. Right??

I am 5 days out and feel the same as you do.

18lbs? What are u eating? So 18lbs since the 10th?

I'm not eating much just protein shakes and keeping myself hydrated
