I finally got my date today! I will be getting my surgery on March 9th!!! I am so excited and 100 things are running through my head! Any advice from people who have already had the surgery? Any one else getting theirs done in March??

Ok guys my nerves are bad my surgery is the 23rd and if feels like im trying to catch a cold NOOOO

Jill my surgery is march 23rd also

My surgery is the 23rd also

Day one pre-op diet is complete...not bad, I stuck to it and kept busy. I missed the crunching and chewing the most but I wasn't really hungry. I am scheduled for prep tests all day tomorrow so I am at a nearby hotel since I'm an hour and a half away and don't want to hit commuter traffic and delays. I got a confirmation letter in the mail that basically said you're late, you are out! No pressure! Haha. Oh well, early to bed so I am not late!

My surgery is March 25. Im on day 8 of my preop diet. I yhink im opposite of most people. I found the first 3 days of preop diet easy, then I got hungry on day 4. Biggest issue is I feel so tired and no energy. Its been really hard to exercise bc im sooo tired.

March 30th - First day of diet went great. Preop tests done. Best day at the gym so far. Two shakes then 4oz chicken in 2 cups of salad and tiny sprinkle of dressing. Tracking everything in My Fitness Pal. First step - Whew.

I sooo can't keep up with fitness pal

At this time next week I will be "sleeved"! I am looking forward to it! I have next week off work for spring break, my kiddos are gone, and my husband has taken a few days off work. My plan is to rest, rest, and rest! I keep trying to envision everything going well, no complications, and sailing through this!

Just completed my first day of pre-op liquid diet. I did a "trial" day Saturday to see if what I had picked up Shakes, low sodium broth, sugar free popsicles were going to work out when it mattered. aI was super bummed when having only consumed 500 calories I went up a pound the next day! My surgery is on March 30. Unlike some of you brave souls I am not going to work out for the next two weeks while on this liquid diet. At 56 years old I feel that I will pass out on the treadmill. I am looking forward to my surgery but I must admit that reading some of the posts about slow weight loss, stalls and regrets does get to me. There are many more posts of happy sleevers though! I have lost 28 pounds on my own since January 25th but I know in the past I have not been successful long term. My husband is supportive and has completely changed his lifestyle this time. So I am going to take advantage of my insurance authorization and have the much needed surgery.

I'm scheduled for 7:15am Wednesday morning!

I dropped almost 15 lbs the last 2 weeks on my pre-op diet. 2 liquid meals and a small carb free protein dinner. I'm so ready!

Wish me luck. Today's the day. Lucky St Patty's Day ????????????????

Getting tired of nothing but shakes and protein. What fun is there in drinking this?

I did a trial day too> I would just try to get some a little walk here and there.. I usually work out really hard, and I took a break from that.. I did a lot of cleaning too.

I'm at 730 Wednesday morning! This time tomorrow I should be in recovery! I'm down 11 pounds!

Fun isn't really the point though!

Fun is doing all the things we could never do fat. Food is fuel.

My weight was up 5 pounds after I ate that cheeseburger and fries last Sat. How is that even humanly possible? I was down 1 pound this morning. I basically lost a week's progress. Oh well...not going to dwell...especially since I'm on day 2 of this liquid diet. Hey have you or anyone reading this tried those new Swanson chicken broths that are infused? Like the Mexican Tortilla or Chinese Hot n Sour? I was just wondering...all these protein shakes are so sweet. Something savory would break it up a bit. Anyway...I saw you were starting your pre op. Yay! Good luck...stay positive!!

I love the Hot n Sour and the Mexican Tortilla! Nice flavor
