Good morning to all! I officially started my 14-day pre-op diet today. :-)

I think I made a mistake of drinking a bottle of Water after I had my AM Protein Shake. Now, I feel lightheaded. Looking forward to another shake and small salad for lunch.

Good luck to everyone who starts their diet this week. Also, prayers up for everyone being sleeved 8/1 and 8/2. Keep us updated.

I started the liquid diet today and having surgery on Aug 1 to then continue the liquid diet for 10 days. OMG, I don't know how I'm going to make it. My head hurts I'm cranky!! I'm miserable and it's only been half a day!! Anybody have tips that helped them?

Honestly.....easy to say but....it gets easier I'm on day 7 of liquids and the first couple days I really was rethink my choice!!! My NUT said the headaches can be caffeine related....she told me to take a couple drinks of BLaCK coffee to ease them.....and low and behold it worked!!!!! Headache went away and I felt much better!! Call your doctor they can really help

OK, my sleeve family. I got my final email today so the date of Aug 29th is set in stone. I have an appointment on Aug 19th I have an Anesthesia Appointment, Updated History and Physical, and Consent & Nutrition Teaching. I am really excited that it is really going to happen. I plan to start Aug 1st with eating the things for pre-op so it wont seem so hard for me. I would really like to get my number down alot it will help when it's time to do the real work. Once again I am so happy I can scream

Two greatest moments of Day 1 in my pre-op diet:

1. My co-worker chose not mention that there was pizza for everyone in our office's kitchen area. :Avoided temptation:

2. Watching my 5-year old son push his cake away to eat SF Jello with me. :-)

Taking things day by day....
