Started my pre op yesterday! So excited/nervous/frantic/I don't even know lol. Still so many crazy feelings as I'm hearing is completely normal. I wish I could close my eyes and wake up to November 13th. Have been doin great so far. With a positive mind I know I've got this.

Yes, you got this. Own it & you'll do well. Good luck.

Agreed' thank you for the encouragement

When I went to my last nutritional class before the surgery, I panicked thinking "am I gonna be able to follow the different food phases post op." But I took it one day at a time and followed the post op rules to the t. I've had no complications at all & next week will be a year & I'm soooooo glad for my sleeve.. So I know you can do this.

Wow that's sooo wonderful! I'm so happy for you. I believe as you do that it takes one day at a time. It is all mind over matter. How much weight have you lost?

FINALLY!!! I found someone that will be sleeved on November 13! I kept looking and looking and you are the first. I will also be sleeved on the November 13. Happy dance!!!????

Yaaay hiddis I've been looking too! We can be sleeve buddies! Where are you located? How's your pre op so far?? How are you feeling about the whole thing at this point?? In so happy for us!

Missybean I feel great about the pre-op so far. I had to stop diet coke cold turkey and I thought that would be really bad but it's not. Just a headache every now and then. I have been drinking diet soda since I was 12 years old--30 years! I am in Wyoming, near Jackson Hole, but from Montana. This is my second day of clear fluids and protein shakes and I feel pretty good. Where is your surgery? How is the pre-op?

Thank god you haven't had a difficult time with it. I'm happy for you. I only drink water so it's been really easy for me. I've lost quite a bit of weight in the past, and ever since then I never drank soda or juice again. Occasionally I would have a coffee but nothing addicting so in that aspect I have been pretty lucky. Surprisingly it's actually going really well, besides only being able to mix the protein shake w water, it tastes so pasty like that but I use the good ol hold your breath trick an it does the job lol. I'm having mines at roger Williams hospital by dr Giovanni in Rhode Island. Each day I get more excited don't you? We are getting closer and closer to our new healthier much happier lives.

I'm getting sleeved on the 13th too! I'm really excited, but pre-op has been awful for me. What are your's like? Mine's two weeks, nothing but Clear liquids :/ ugh, I'm dizzy all the time, but I've lost 8 pounds in three days so I guess it's working!

What's two weeks of discomfort to a lifetime of health, though, right? I can't wait!

Yay! Another sleeve buddy! Lol you're so right honey, this is all worth it. We've got to keep our eye on the prize. I think we may all have similar diets. Clear liquid, 3 protein shakes, veggies, small meat, or a lean cuisine meal? Thats mine. I'm also gettin the headaches. Tonight I felt dizzy. 8 lbs in 3 days is wonderful!! I can't wait either

Woohoo!! Three of us now. My pre-op is all clear liquids and protein shakes. I called my doctor after I got too dizzy to even drive. He had me throw in a hard boiled egg or two and baked lean chicken. I'm still just trying to do my best to stick with the liquids but I have to be able to drive on occasion.

Haha, I think I would kill a man for a lean cuisine right now. This whole all liquids thing sucks! And drinking more water might help with the headaches, or maybe tea?

LOL... Oh wow, you're both on liquids only?? That must be tough...I may try the boiled egg to lessen my calories. I want my liver to be as small as I can possibly get it lol. My liquids only are the 12th

Kyrie who is your doc? What state? I can't believe it's actually going to happen. Very excited! I have not weighed myself yet to see if I have lost because my last weight was on the docs fancy scale. Lol

I've been doing ibuprofen for the headaches before bed. I wake up fine but they creep back in around 2 pm lol
