I'm set for a June 16th operation date. Anyone else out there with the same date?

June 16th is almost here!!! The liquid diet has been rough. I have slipped and gotten off of it a few times. Eating more Protein things. But most of it has been good. I think this weekend is going to be very slow. It looks like Monday will never come. I am 13 lbs down. Hoping that is good. I am pushing for 17 lbs. before Monday. Going this weekend and get things needed for my 2 weeks of fluids.

How is everyone else getting ready this weekend for the new life we are about to have.

Excited and happy for a new beginning.

Yep, it's three days away. It's getting very real at this point, so real that part of me started getting cold feet. I quess that is normal to some degree. The liquid diet has been hard for me as well. Two weeks is a LONG TIME to go without eating any solid food. I'm down 15 pounds myself. Being down 15 pounds is why I started getting cold feet in the first place. I started telling myself that if i can lose 15 pounts in 11 days, why am I having 80% of my stomach cut out? But I followed that thought with, oh yeh, I've lost 40 pounds doing Atkins before and gained it all back plus a few pounds. And I have done that many times over. It's just time to turn my life around.

OK, it's official, this is going to happen. I just got the call with my time to be at the hospital. 6:30 Monday morning it is.

Yep. I'm scheduled for the June 16th (which is my brother's Birthday). Was originally scheduled for June 18th but thankfully, it was moved. I'm very excited & scared but I know at the end of the day this is going to help me! I started t the liquid diet Wednesday & had to cheat once because I really was not feeling good. I'm on my way now to take my daughter to College Freshman Orientation (which is over night) I do have my protein shakes but I hope I'm not tempted to eat. To top that off, my family & I eat taking my brother out to eat at Joes Crab Shack on Sunday. Praying for strength!

Good luck with Joes Crab Shack... that is my fav....

I know I will slip up. And I know I am only human. But I do know I am doing this all for the right reasons. We are all human. We make mistakes and we learn from them. This sleeve is no different. I will pray and give thanks to the good Lord for allowing me the courage to do this.

I have never gotten scared. Maybe when Monday rolls around I might. But hopefully I will not.

I have to be at the hospital at 8:30 a.m. I only wish it was earlier. I don’t want to think about drinking or eating.

What is everyone doing this weekend to get ready for the big day? Good luck to everyone and best wishing for a speedy recovery.

I'm really nervous about Monday. The Doctor called to confirm my appointment. I have to be there at 8:30am. I'm ready but scared. Lord give me strength

Curious if anyone knows of a link that I can find on the internet that is a Bariatric geared food chart, which I can record all the liquids/food, Vitamins, Water that I will be having after surgery on a daily basis? Want to stay organized - thanks! I am first up for surgery on the 16th @ 7 am.

I am scheduled for my sleeve for June 17th!!! I just finally got insurance approval on Thursday so it didn't really feel REAL until just now. I am so excited (and almost as nervous). Thankfully my doc doesn't require 2 weeks of liquids but a modified diet of shakes and "sensible" meals. Can't wait to check in and see how we are all doing next week

Super excited!! Scheduled for 1pm on Monday!!!

I am excited for Monday and my new life to begin..I had 2 weeks of protein drinks and sensible meals in the evening but have to do all liquids today and tomorrow...it was not too bad today...one more day and so much to get ready...did anyone else have to take any antibiotics the day before surgery? My surgeon wrote the prescriptions for me and I have to start taking them tomorrow afternoon...

Good Luck to all of TODAY's SLEEVERS!!!! So exciting One more day of waiting for me....hopeflly today flies by!

Thanks so nervous

How is everyone doing. I am doing good except for the pain in my tummy. An not being able to drink everything I drink hurts going down but excited to start this new journey.

I am having surgery tomorrow June 17th. Been waiting two years since my dr referral. Cant wait!

I start liquids tomorrow, and my surgery is Thursday! I know it's gonna be tough but can't wait to join the losers bench!

Hi all - I didn't go into surgery until about 5pm Monday. Surgery time was about 2 1/2 hours because I was a band to sleeve revision - there was scar tissue to be cleaned up and a hiatus hernia. First 24 hours were a little tough, just sore and out of it, but today I feel human again! I'm home, drinking fluids pretty well, able to walk around. All is good! Hope everyone else has a good recovery as well!
