Hello Sleeve Siblings,

There are several threads for everyone getting sleeved in the month of Oct 2013. I post in those as well but I wanted a consolidated thread for those of us who are getting sleeved on October 16th.

I'm super excited about having the sleeve surgery!! My ten day liquid diet begins next Sunday. I can have six Protein shakes, clear broth, and all of the Water I want . I think that this is going to be the hardest part for me. I'm dreading that I'll feel like I'm starving all day for ten days. Hopefully ketosis kicks in day one for me, though it'll probably day three a girl can hope right.

Do you have a pre-op diet? When does it start? What does it consist of? Fears? Anxiety?

Feel free to share whatever you'd like.

Me!!! Let's get this party started!! You ready?

Good luck! Keep us posted. My surgery is this afternoon

I hooked up to ivs and just waiting to be wheeled back!! Lets do this ????

Good luck you guys...hope you feel well quickly

How is everyone doing?? Im not in too much pain, just pain from gas. Hope everyone is doing well!

Hey all. The pain was more than I expected!!! I've been urinating every 2 hours and thankfully I didn't have a lot of gas pain. I have however had my fair share of nausea and my face is hot but I have a normal temperature.

I've walked the hallways six times. Passed the swallow study and just had my first meal: 1/2 Popscicle, 2 cubes of Jello, 5 spoons of broth and 3 oz of Water over the past 2.5 - 3hours.

I'm being discharged at 6 pm.

I hope everyone's experience continues to improve.
