April 7th Sleevers?

My surgery is April 7th. Anyone else joining me for surgery that day? 4/7/2014! That's my big day! So excited for a new beginning and a healthier me! I'm currently on day 5 of my liquid diet. Is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. The worst part foot me is the diarhea. I had no idea everything I drank would go right through me. Is this common for everyone else as well?

I'm taking muscle milk from Walmart in powder form. It has 30mg per scoop. I drink Water, flavored water, broth, tomato Soup, sugar free Jello and pudding. If I feel like I'm "starving" I can have a serving of cream of wheat.

Hi I just joined this site. I am having the sleeve done on April 7th. I'm getting very nervous!

I'll be more nervous as it gets closer. Right now I'm just concerned if I'm totally ready for this huge change. I'm a rollercoaster of emotions. I'm just going to sit back and try to enjoy the ride :-)

My nut had me on a new directions protein shake plain . I get to eat a small lunch and yogurt . We are not put on a liquid diet . The evening before I do a colon clean, was with a antibacterial soap and use a antibacterial mouthwash . We stay 2-3 nights . I'm surprised by the different ways to prepare for this. I'm so dearly gonna miss my buttered biscuits and po boy bread ... But I will be skinny when I'm crying about it! Lol
