After 6 long months of weighing in, my surgery is scheduled for May 19th... Anyone else out there going in on May 19th? I got the call today to schedule my remaining blood work. It's getting real!

Hi. I'm on a 6 protein drink a day pre-op. It's so hard. My surgery is May 18th. And had my bloodwork done this morning. Where can I find the Facebook group? Thanks!

I'm new to this app but there is a post call may sleevers where are you and there is a couple of people on there that started a secret Facebook group. Lessofjess is one of the ladies and if you message her your Email and surgery date she will invite you.

Pre-op is killer. I keep counting the days down... It's soooo hard.

Hey everyone

I'm scheduled for 28th May, excited to follow your progress as you are ahead of me on the journey.

Started pre-op yesterday. I have 3 shakes a day, (optifast) and 2 cups of low carb veges. I made up a pot of Soup with can of tomatoes, celery, mushrooms, stock, carrots, brocolli. Kept it chunky so feels like Im eating a casserole. So far havent felt too hungry.

Ive sent a request to Jess on FB asking to join the May group.

Yay! How exciting!

Good luck! It's exciting to watch everyone progress!

I'm scheduled for May 19 too. I've been following my pre-op diet exactly for 7 days. 4 protein shakes, 1 protein soup, one protein bar and one banana per day. It's about 900 calories. All Bariatrics Advantage products. I'm surprised that I'm really not that hungry although my insides are very gurgely! No Advil, Alieve etc starting tomorrow.

I'm planning on going back to work one week after surgery. I have a job where I sit at a desk and go to meetings. Is one week off realistic?

I dunno if one week is realistic. I think if you don't move much but I think maybe you'd want to give yourself a week and a half.

21st for me! Good luck!
