So 19th and 20th gang are we nearly ready? Working at a frenzied pace to have stuff done before I take the next 3 weeks off-- so tired. I think I've adjusted to this pre-op pittance of a diet, don't know what I will do when it's time to go to all Clear liquids on Sunday. Probably whine to you guys :-) on some thread SOMEWHERE!

Praying for safe travels to those going far away for your procedures as well.

I'm ready!!! I plan to run to the store over the weekend and get my liquid and chewable vitamins

I'm ready too! On day 7 of the liquid diet...we had a gourmet pizza-making class as part of a work event yesterday and it was SO HARD!! Everything smelled amazing! But still, no cheating. Oh, I also discovered the joy of Syntrax Mint chocolate Cookie Protein powder...it is SO GOOD! I've been having that at night with soy milk, I chill it in the freezer after mixing so it is almost like a milkshake, and it's rocking my world! Highly recommended!

liquid diet on Sunday will likely be a pain, but hey, if I can do this (full) liquid diet for 9 days, the 10th should be a piece of cake! Mmm...cake. Haha!

Good luck to all of us! By 9:30am on Monday, I'll be sleeved!

Your job must really suck haha! I mean WHO would want to work at a modern day Disney world for the obscenely smart and rich! GO YOU on your commitment to the pre-op diet.

Syntrax was post workout goto before I even considered the sleeve and I now need to be stopped. I have 4 big tubs of different flavors and 1 unflavored one (Sidebar- I will be one angry woman if I don't like this stuff afterward). Im going to try your method tonight with the fuzzy navel.

Good luck August sleevers. I'm 3weeks post and i will tell you, stay strong on the pre-op diet. It was hard and depressing and I kept freaking out that I was never going to be able to eat or enjoy food again. Not so. The pre-op is the hardest part. Wish I hadn't stressed so much during it. You all are going to be so happy in a few weeks!!! I'm excited for you. Hang in there. The good stuff is coming.

2 days to go :-/ getting a little bit scared now its almost here, totally over the hunger on pre diet which is strange lol, but gotta say its been tougher than quitting smoking, so I hope post op is a breeze . How are fellow 19 thers feeling?

I'm having surgery on the 20th. Very nervous and excited!!! Pre op was hard first few days but it has gotten so much easier!

Tomorrow Im supposed to have only Clear liquids for the entire day. So I'm am going to savor today's Quest bar and salad like they are culinary masterpieces. On a good note, I've lost nearly 15 pounds while on the pre op diet--which negated all the weight I gained from all of my many "food funerals". Now off to the store to buy those gas x strips because gas pain doesn't sound like fun.
