I'm October 7th! Had all my pre-op testing done today. On day 4 of my all liquid diet. One more appointment with the surgeon next week! I'm excited, but have my moments of extreme nervousness. Look forward to following you all on your journey!

How are you feeling on your diet? I'm on day 2, and I've heard it's pretty miserable by day 3-4.

My surgery is October 1st. I have been on a liquid diet diet since September 20th. 80 grams of Protein a day. Water, crystal lite, broth and thats it. Pretty unpleasant overall. My journey from consult to finish took 9 months. So I am way excited to get this overwith!

I just finished day 3 and it really has been surprisingly not as bad as I thought it would. But it might just be a mind set. And I love making different smoothie drinks.

How are you feeling on your diet? I'm on day 2, and I've heard it's pretty miserable by day 3-4.

For me, the hardest was 1-3 days. By yesterday, I felt like I got bearings and today I feel less hungry ALL the time. It's by no means enjoyable at this point, but it's more managable. I just keep thinking that every day down, is another closer to it being over. :)

I am scheduled for Oct 6th :) Nervous but excited. Mentally thinking of all the food I love as I consume it now. After the 6th, food will not be a priority and cannot be used as emotional crutch anymore. Lots of emotions thinking about saying good bye.

I have been looking at these threads daily for over a month and never made one single post until I knew my journey had its definite destination. I'm being sleeved 10/10 and I'm the only 2 emotions I feel alternate between excitement and nervousness ????

Hi October sleevers! Was bummed for a bit my surgery was postponed to the 14th but over it. I'm actually getting beyond my hopefully irrational fear that something will happen during surgery and getting excited for it. I'm only required to do liquids for 1 week before, but I think I'm going to start a partial one this week. Maybe mostly liquids but maybe some yogurt and something light for dinner. Kinda break into it before that's all I can actually eat. I ordered a couple different sample packs of Protein so hopefully that will get here soon so I can try it. How's everyone holding up??

This is a long thread but I'll just jump in here. I'm having my sleeve on Oct 1st, 4 days away! I've been working towards this for almost a year, been doing a 10 day mostly liquid diet and everything been ok but I was reading over stuff the surgeon gave me, post op surgery stuff and I'm getting a little nervous.

I think it makes me more nervous since this is an elective surgery. Making myself go thru all this pain. Maybe just too much time to think.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
