Just making us a new thread now that we have found each other.

How are we coping with the pre-op diet? How is your "head" - who is nervous?

How is the weight loss this past week?

These are just some possible things you might want to post.

I have been putting it in the broth when its hot and using a whisk on it until it all disolves.

Hi!

My surgery date is the 24th. I feel a little guilty, I have a 2 day pre-op diet. I will start mine on the 22nd.

My paperwork says next for me is a 3 day clear liquid diet before surgery. I am wondering if I am still supposed to use protein powders or if I stop them until surgery.

Hi, I am scheduled for 11/18. I got my approval on 11/3, got the date set and went to the pre-op appointment on 11/13. Until that point I ate like a death row inmate! Starting the 13th, my doctor has me on a low fat diet with no solid food restriction until Monday night when I obviously have to stop completely. He said low fat shrinks the liver just as well as liquid only and he doesn't like to tell patients who are about to be on all liquids for a month to,start two weeks early. I have a lot of trepidation but also excitement! Good luck to everyone as we begin this journey!

I am new to the group. I've been reading threads for awhile and found the info to be very helpful. After a very long process that started over a year ago, I am finally getting sleeved this Wednesday, Nov. 19. I am excited. I'm on my 9th day pre-op diet which seems to be getting more difficult instead of easier as they said it would but I am doing it! I feel determined and motivated for my life change. I have lupus, fibro and some other non-obesity related issues. A bit nervous that I may flare after the surgery but I'm pushing forward. Thanks to all for making this a safe haven. I wish you all much success.

My surgery is scheduled for November 19th. It seemed like a long process but is here already. I am on a full liquid pre op diet and not having any problems so far. The protein shakes are filling though the sweet taste is getting old fast! Not really nervous, more just hoping that this is really the right move as once it's done, there's no undoing it!

I'm on the 19th too and although I am excited I still have that same feeling you expressed....I hope I'm doing the right thing because there is no going back. I sure hope so! Best to you!

Iam having mine tomorrow Nov 17 wish me luck????

I was sleeved yesterday at 7am, and discharged today at 1pm. I'm surprised by the lack of pain, only needed to take Tylenol, but I feel bloated so need to try gas x strips.

7 hours until I check in to the hospital!!! So excited!!

I am 9 hours from check in and I am nauseous and have horrible diarrhea. Please say a prayer for me that I'll be OK for tomorrow. I have waited so long for this day. I have been on high protein diet for past ten days and today was just liquids. Thinking I may have taken my pills on too much of any empty stomach. Any one else experience this? I feel like crying.
