Hello all sleeving in August let's encourage each other

Karen.... I was on the same pre op diet. 3 shakes, 2 ...100 calorie yogurts. And liquids. It has not been horrendous but I find the hardest time for me is 5 o'clock!! So I walk! I am on day 8 of the diet..surgery Wednesday! Best of luck! If I can do it I know you will!!!! Will be thinking of you!!!!

Mari

I'm on day 2...the good thing is only 5 after this. I know I can make it!

I'm so jealous of you that get food with the shakes

My dietitian says to use Walden farm dressing. It has no calories. Been on pre-op diet for a month and that was what I used for my salads at dinner. I had to have 4 protein shakes and 1 protein bar a day. Than I got to eat 4 oz of protein, 1-2 cups vegetables and 1 cup fruit. Surgery is Tuesday. I am getting so excited

Thank you so much wildpulaski!!! I'll look for it . Wow- you're allowed fruit? Sooo jealous!! and btw, best of luck to you- I share your excitement too!

Hello all!

I cannot believe I'm getting sleeved Monday! I've been on a pre-op diet for nearly 2 weeks, so even if I could have a "food funeral" this weekend, I wouldn't want to. So funny to me now.

Does anyone have any last minute advice of what I should do pre-surgery.... or what I should buy for when I come home from surgery? I'm planning to buy my protein drinks/powders and liquid Tylenol. Anything else anyone has found to be helpful?

Thanks!

I'm on day eleven of shakes and have ten more days to go...may I just say

I WANT A CHEESEBURGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"It gets easier", me arse...

for me day one. 9 more to go. I want some fry chicken. I am trying real hard. All I c is liquid and more liquid and all I do is pee and more pee (TMI) lol. Eye on the prize. Best present I will ever give myself

My surgery is Tuesday, I have my supplies bought up and got my pedicure lol. I still need to clean the house, starting in a little while!

Dreamgirl45 we are sleeve buddies. What time are you to report to, the hospital on Monday I, will need to be there at 6:33 am I am so glad its friday and Monday will be, here before we know it.

Just got a call from the hospital to go over my surgery time and date insurance and all the good stuff. Yay!! It's now 3:20pm and I am tired and HUNGRY....grrrrr... Don't mess with my food u don't want to c me angry. VSG just messed with me so I am really hungry and pissed now. Stay away. Lol. I am trying to amuse my hungry self.

I mean 6:30

I start my preop diet tomorrow! I'm very lucky because my surgeon only requires high protein, low/no carb. It couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I've got a tummy bug and the sight of food is icky. Hopefully I can get rid of it before surgery tho, I'm terrified they will cancel the surgery =/

I am on August 11 at 7:30am very excited about how my new journey will start I have lost 70lb before surgery had my pre opt testing done This past Thursday so I am ready current weight is 209

Dreamingskinny that is great wishing you a great new journey,

Make sure you're allowed to have painted nails during surgery. That was one of the rules on my list - remove all nail polish from fingers and toes. First time I've been in public with bare toenails in like 10 years!

I do not have my normal acrylic nails on and they are clean but I got a French manicure on my toes...so the bottom part of my toes are see through! I told the nurse my feet are rough and I needed a pedicure and I would just get a French and she started laughing.
