Hi there everyone,

I am new here and to this sleeve business! I am tentatively scheduled for late July, and I was wondering if anyone else here is roughly on the same timetable as I am. At this point, I am just getting my nutritional information together for the pre-op diet. i am both excited and scared. I know I can do this, but right now, I seems like a daunting task.

I'd love to hear how other pre-op sleevers are doing!

Thanks,

kbpaulie

My surgery is scheduled for July 28th. I start my liquid diet on the 14th. I'm so excited because it has taken so long to get to this point and I'm ready to get it done. But I get pretty nervous about it too. I'm not nervous about the surgery, but more about post-op. Will I really be able to do this????

You won't be alone, mine is on July 28th also along with a few others. Let's take it day by day and support each other post-op. We can do this together.

Same here, surgery 7/28 and pre-op diet starts 7/14. My pre-op diet will consist of 3 protein shakes and 2-300cal or lower pre packaged meals. I think I will be okay with that, but I'm really nervous about the liquid and puréed stage afterwards. How will I get all my fluids and protein in? What are good choices? I had 6months with a nutritionist and I know we went over everything, I even have all kinds of paperwork, but I feel like I either overwhelmed or drawing a blank. I guess I better get it together before the 28th. Lol!!

I'm getting sleeved on 7/20. The process was extremely fast. I started my journey in April. Only had to see a psych, nutritionist, and the surgeon 1 time. I am going to a class on the 10 day protein diet on 7/9 and then have my med clearance on 7/10 with my primary dr. I only had to do labs and a chest X-ray and ekg prior to my surgery. No other testing that everyone was saying...so far. I have bcbs and it took them about a week to approve. I'm excited to get this surgery, and hope that this forum keeps me motivated
