I'm looking for a group of people who will be having sleeve surgery in the next 2-3 weeks to share the journey with! I just turned 30 last month, and I am really looking forward to this huge life change. I'm 5'7 and currently at 294 (down from 332 when I first visited my surgeon 2 months ago). I'm just ready to feel better, and have more energy to be a more lively mom to my 9 year old nephew!

Day 2 of the pre-op diet easier. No headache today. Keeping busy helps a lot. Lots of water as well. Next week will be more challenging for me. My kids birthdays are Monday and Tuesday. My daughter wants to go to a fondue restaurant! I will not be attending that meal! Luckily the kids are understanding. I am determined to stick to what the doctor has told me:)

I think I had a day of nerves, now I am pretty calm, last preop appt with dr tomorrow, and i start my preop diet on Saturday.

I have a 2 hour preop class on Monday and my final appt with surgeon on Thursday next week. It's all coming so fast. Then on to surgery on the 9th! Only 12 more days! I'm really nervous about the surgery, I've never had surgery. I'm trying not to over think it or I will be a basket case by the 9th:)

I've found I'm too busy to over think anything.....just breath. I am so ready to start my new life, we are getting done on the same day

The dill pickle trick was fantastic. For me so far the trick is lots of crushed ice in my Protein shakes.

Hubby found an experimental produce that goes thru your throat and is reversible. He was thinking I should look into it. Dude, I'm committed to this. Let's not second guess at the 11th hour

Hi add me! I am June 10th!

I just got scheduled today for June 9 as well! Excited and nervous. I've been on a preop diet for a few weeks now but it isn't too bad. Protein and veggies. I don't know what my diet just before surgery is yet, but should find out tomorrow. . Congrats all!

Hello all!

I am scheduled for June 9th at 10:30am. Been researching this for over two years and made a commitment one year ago to move forward with it.

I am scared and excited. I've already canceled two surgery dates over the past year. Lots of personal issues to deal with, lots of second guessing myself, lot of fear about how happy I will be after loosing the ability to eat a huge plateful of food. I think i have finally worked through most of my fears, one at a time, and am confident that this IS the right decision for me.

I am ready!

My surgery date is June 10 and I started my liquid diet as of yesterday when they told me to I didn't know my doctor was going to tell me to lose 10 pounds before surgery. Ughh but I could do it. I just thought I was going to be able to eat everything before my surgery I guess not. lol

I'm on day 4 of a 10 day pre-op and I'm not having any bathroom issues - in fact, the opposite, rather than going daily, it's every other or third day. Considering starting the benefiber a bit early.

Surprisingly no bathroom issues either. I am still regular too. Always have been. We will see how the next days pan out.

I've lost about 4 pounds in 3 days.

So far not too bad. I skipped on a social outing last night. Didn't feel strong enough to resist baskets of tortillas chips and salsa.

Day 4 is going rough. Missing food, sick of shakes. Looking for alternatives.

I made noodle Soup and strained the noodles. Helped. Family went to dinner and I skipped. Not strong enough today, too weak.

Are you on a strictly liquid diet? we can have 100 -200 calories of a list of fruits and veggies. I start my preop diet on Saturday
