I'm so excited about my surgery it can't get here soon enough even though it is on my husbands birthday but that's ok he's fine with it and tells me he's so proud of me for taking that step to better my life even though I've ran into a road block, i had my mammogram last Monday and got called back in for retesting and a ultrasound, so now I'm having to have a biopsy on my right Brest Oct. 16th but the Doctor told me not to get to stressed over it that hopefully it's just a cyst, I have to think positive and pray that it's nothing, I'm new to the site so any more Sleevers input would be greatly appreciated!

I just found this post. I'm November 4th just getting out of hospital today. So excited.

Just as an added note for all the upcoming sleeves... Do not panic or get disappointed if you actually gain weight in the hospital. My Dr loaded me up with I'v fluid to prevent dehydration. I actually gained a few pounds. Not to worry because the first day I took in only a few cups of ice chips surgery day and find it is difficult to get in my 64 oz of fluid today. So I'm glad he loaded me up which will give me time to adjust and get my liquids in without risking dehydration. Good luck to those who are coming up! You can do it!

Thanks for the heads up.

@@Quest4TheNewMe, How is the pre-op diet going? It isn't so bad so far but this is just the first morning for me . . . .

@"RedDirtRoads" I actually don't start until tomorrow. I've been drinking Protein shakes for Breakfast for a while, so I'm hoping it isn't too terrible. I'm more worried about the Clear Liquids only on next Tuesday/Wednesday.

Have you survived the day so far?

Nov 21st for me

For me the clear liquid preop was hands down the hardest. But you just need to stay focused on the goal. I'm home and on my own. My mornings are the worst with nausea however I realize this will pass it just takes time to adjust. Thank goodness the dr have me meds to help me cope. Again I must say it is the nausea that's getting me. Still no pain and being that I'm 3 days out I don't see pain being a problem moving forward. It has been difficult to get in my liquids today. Still adjusting. But I remain positive and focused. I can do this. With the support I see in this site I know I can. Look at all the examples before me.

Omg, I can't believe 2 more days until my surgery!! Feeling hungry on clear liquid phase but determined... Excited, anxious and curious as to how my sleeve will react in my body!

This time tomorrow I will be checking in for my surgery, I am so excited to start a new healthy life, i know this is the right decision for me and everyone on this site has made the right choice. So glad I found this site as it has been a wealth of information of what to expect and just knowing others are going through the same thing makes you feel normal too. Good luck to all the other sleevers this month and looking forward to hearing how everyone does.

I have two more days till my surgery. I'm so excited. I can't believe it. It's almost my turn.

Good Luck My fellow Michigander! I am in 2 weeks...O-M-G!

Surgery Wednesday..11/12. I'm on my liquid phase of pre-op and feeling weak. Is this normal? I've tried to exercise but get dizzy. I'm hoping it's just because it's the 1st day of liquid only.

I'm on day #3 of the liquid diet and feeling tired/cold, but yesterday was the worst in regards to trying to stick to the rules.

My surgery is on the 13th.

Im on day 6 of 14 days.. And I am happy to announce that it gets better! The first 3-4 days of my pre-op diet, was crazy hardcore! I could barely get out of bed, and had a constant migraine. But yesterday was really good in comparison. I was still really sleepy all day long, but no aches or pains! This morning im also waking up hopeful. So it does get better! Now weather or not it will stay better is a whole other question.

Good luck, your 5 days ahead of me. Keep in touch and let me know how it goes!

Day 9 of 14 pre op. Feel ok but do have sinking spells of weakness but it passes. I don't think there is any way I could exercise while consuming only 800 calories a day. 5 more days!
