I will be praying for a speedy recovery for all that are having the surgery done today, May 4th. Jake thanks for the list. That is helpful.

Hello Dream125, I also have a sleeve surgery date of May 18th. Where are you located? We will have to stay in touch so we can encourage each other.

Hi fellow sleeves-to-be!

I have a May Day of the18th! So many emotions, but above them all is excitement for this new life! "The journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step." Blessings to all...

Hello everyone,

Best wishes to all of my May sleevers and beyond :)

I am having my surgery tomorrow. I've been thinking about this for 2 years, and had the first surgery scheduled for January 13th, and broke my leg instead, so had to have a plate and 8 screws put into my leg. Now my day is finally here--I thought I'd be more excited than scared, but right now I am more scared than excited. Feeling like I should run down to the kitchen, make a hamburger and call it quits. Anyone else this scared?

I was nervous and scared also at the beginning but it will pass hun. I also waited over 2 yrs to get it done and i finally had it done may 1st. Right now i am having lots of gas pain but other than that im ok. Just not eating anything but then again im not hungry.. I found popsicles soo good at this stage which is clear liquid stage... Im done on the 8th then i can add yogurt and fat free milk to my diet can't wait for that ;) good luck hun u will be fine.. It will be all worth it... I started on may 1st with 261 pounds and i just weight myself and lost 7 pounds ????????????????

Hey may sleevers! I'm scheduled fo May 26th. Emotional Rollercoaster is finally starting to slow down as I begin preparing for the actual event. I have started the liquid diet ahead of time, doing 2 replacements a day and food for the 3rd meal. I don't have to start the liquid diet until the 12th (per surgeon) but I needed to mentally prepare myself-it would've been too big of a shock to the system just going cold turkey.

How is everyone else doing knowing surgery is so close?

My surgery is may 26th. I'm super excited and alittle nervous about the liquid pre diet.!!

I am right there with you - surgery the 26th I go in for my pre-op on the 6th, - very nervous about liquid diet

I go on the 6th for pre-op too at 8:45am! do you have to do a full two wk liquid diet?

they have been talking a week liquid diet so I am interested on what they finally tell me on Wed.
