Hi,

I'm brand new here... Been lurking and reading topics for the last few days... I was approved last week for the sleeve surgery and we scheduled it for 4/23 yesterday. I'm supposed to start pre-op diet Monday of 2 shakes and a meal of lean protein and veggies... I'm a little nervous about the recovery as I am planning to go back to work the Monday post surgery (desk job)... Other than that I'm cautiously excited :-)

We are surgery mates!!! I have ready started my pro-op diet! I too am planning on returning to work the following Monday. I'll be praying for you to do well!

I'm excited and nervous!

@@msshellg I'm so glad to see someone else planning to go back to work right away. My nutritionist said she has had several people who do which is exciting for me. I am not planning to tell my co-workers that I have had sleeve surgery... they think I am having my gallbladder removed. (I'm pretty new there and not really comfortable with that level of disclosure yet.)

Which Protein powder are you using for your pre-op diet? I'm hopping for mine tomorrow :-)

I am scheduled for the end of this month and I am having a really hard time with food all of a sudden. I want to eat everything and anything I see. I do not want to have to reschedule my surgery because I put on weight. The program I am in has you loose 10 percent of your excess body weight prior to surgery. Any ideas why or how I can kick this by the end of the month. Nerves and excitement are kicking in pretty hard.

Omg I can't believe my surg day is almost here...just a few more days and it will be April 16!!!

GL everyone that is having surg this month or already had their surg!

Oh well I have some company! Hey ladies 4-23 can't come quick enough...I'm sooo excited, it was a long 8 months but with days to go, I'm ready. No preop diet or meds..so just sitting tapping my foot at the moment. Good luck to u all..

The 21st here! I am on day 2 preop liquid and have a headache that won't quit. I am super excited!!! Good luck to you all :)

Hello April Sleevers. I am on schedule for 4.18. Pre-registered at the hospital, one week of pre-op diet down, one more to go. I started my journey in Jan, insurance approval took three weeks but managed to receive approval on the first pass. Feeling a little anxiety but so ready to have this tool in my weight loss battle.

I read something about an April facebook page........I would like to join if possible.

Good luck to you all, we are going to be the success stories our surgeons point to as examples for others.....stick to the plan and never forget you are an amazing human......

Mark

Early April Sleevers....how's it going so far? The good, the bad and the ugly please!!
