I will be getting sleeved Dec 2 in Tijuana, Mexico and i am pretty nervous. I'm on day 2 of my pre op diet. I'm clueless as what to eat, so I'm just drinking 2 protein shakes, drinking water, and a small piece of chicken and veggie at night. I haven't rested peacefully since i found out my date. Haha! I'm excited, but nervous and hopeful. Would love to hear from other sleevers feeling the same!

Sounds like you're on the right track! Add up the Protein grams. I blend my Protein shakes with unsweetened soymilk; that adds 7 grams of protein. Protein grams should come out to 60 - 80grams/day. Also, make sure your liquids add up to at least 64oz/day.

I am Dec 2nd also! I'm excited and nervous. My Pre-Op diet I started last tuesday 2-3 Protein shakes and 1 lean meal (lean protein & veggies). Two days before surgery I just do protein shakes and Water. 60grams of protein

I guess every surgeon has a different pre op diets. I plan to go full liquid 3 days prior to surgery. When were you advised to take your laxative? I'm so nervous y'all!????

I'm going on December 3rd, have been on the pre op for almost a week. Looks like I am down close to 10 lbs, WooHoo. Nobody has said anything about a laxative yet, I see my surgeon on Wednesday maybe he will break that news to me then.

I'm December 3rd well: )I start my preop on Wed.

hopefully my surgery is Dec. 2nd. Tomorrow I go and get my second endoscopy. The first one came back and said I had stomach ulcers and I have waiting a month for them to heal. I cant wait I am so excited. Its going to be hard but I need this. I think I am more physically prepared than mentally. I just felt so hurt when I was put on hold, but I have done what it takes to get rid of these ulcers and I find out tomorrow. I am so nervous and excited at the same time. Let me know if you want to be sleeve buddies... i believe my facebook is facebook.com/emthom88

Hi Emily! I pray that everything goes well and you are a "go" for surgery on 12.2.14. I have already friend requested you!

There is a private Facebook page called December sleevers 2014 if you'd like to join

I was sleeved on 11/19/14. I feel great. After the surgery regardless what the hospital staff tells you, walking gets rid of the gas! I have never experienced excruciating pain in my life. If I knew just walking would propel the gas, I would have walked earlier. Gas x just consolidates the gas in one area. This is what I've experienced. Congrats! This is a life changing experience and I'm excited for everyone who takes the step to a new you.

That is so good to hear. Are you struggling to get your protein and water in?

Yes but only because my esophagus was swollen a few days after the surgery. The meds has gotten me back on track so I will begin my protein and liquid regime on tomorrow.

That's good that you are getting better! Keep us posted!

I am also December 2!! I started my pre-op diet last Wednesday. 2 weeks

Good luck to everyone!

At my last visit the receptionist said " see you on the other side"

December 2nd can't get here fast enough!!!!

My doctor didn't say anything about a laxative. I do full liquid 3 days prior also.
