I thought I would kick off the fun for August Sleevers! So here we go!!

I am scheduled for Monday August 19th! Let the countdown begin!!

Thank you all for the luck tomorrow. I will write a story about it.

Two more days... Got my heating pad, my tums, and sugar free canines today. Thanks for all of the advice and truthfulness of what to expect. I'm looking forward to it but a little nervous. Did anyone have to do a 2 week postoperative shake diet? How was it?

Start my pre-op diet tomorrow after my pre-op testing' date=' surgery is August 19th. I'm so nervous and my anxiety is so high. Seriously! I worked so hard for the approval but I'm scared now. The unknown is so hard on me. Anyways, good luck to my fellow August sleevers, and speedy recovery for those who recently had their surgery![/quote']

Girl all the encouragement you gave me!!!! I am so sure you will be just fine! You want me to send some laughing clowns and puppies to cheer you up???? Just think, this is what you worked so hard for and it's almost over! Now the post opt goal weight photos! Yea!

I just had some SF Jello and feel better now. Thank you for the encouragement. I am almost there' date=' just a few days.[/quote']

You just wanted to chew something! Nurse says all the clear liquid we can stand! And jello is a clear liquid! I'm glad you feel better!

yeh I had to do the liquid diet. Honestly it is not that bad! You will be fine! I was SO worked up for this surgery. I cried the entire time before my surgery....I cried to my nurse....I cried to the anesthesiologist....I cried to my surgeon....and honestly....I was up and walking 2 hours after surgery. I am sore yes....but not AT ALL like I thought it would be! The pre diet gets easier after a couple of days and the liquid diet after surgery is completely supported by the hospital staff so they make it super easy! You will do great! IN my thoughts1

Hey doll! Are you still in the Hosp?

Hey Tina! Nope I was discharged Saturday! How about yourself? I tried to walk to much today and was hurting all night so just been hanging out in bed since I had it done! How you feeling?!?

I know what you mean!! I feel the same way!! TODAY especially because TOMORROW is surgery!! OMG I can't believe it's here!! I am unable to focus on anything else. My body doesn't hurt just cramping and I know it's because I'm nervous.

Been thinking about ya!? Hope all is well haven't heard from you yet! Please keep us updated!

Greeting everyone. I am 2 days post-op. so far things are well.

I get sleeved on the 14th. My biggest fear is the mental desire to eat things just bc I recall how good they taste. Have your desire or cravings for food vanished?

I have the Hosp preop today including the class, praying it all goes well.

Congrats on doing so well
