July Sleever

[Cubancountrygirl 26]

My sleeve is set for July 27... I go Tuesday for my Endo, Thursday a two hour workshop, I start Optifast the 13th.and pre op the 23rd... I'm excited and anxious to get started.

I'm nervous too. Maybe because I work in a hospital and have seen the bad more than the good.

I also work in the hospital - it sucks bc the people doing my surgery are people I know (so awkward)! When is your date? Do they do a foley ?

[LauriTX75 75]

I am having mine on July 20. I am going to ask them to bypass the foley. I am hoping they don't put one in. Lol! I do know my surgeon, but not a whole lot since I work in case management and mostly stay in an office. One of the unit secretaries used my surgeon for her surgery and told him I was coming to see him. Lol...so now he knows me.

Me too!! Exactly!

I don't have to do liquids. Just 2 shakes a day and a sensible meal. Lots of Protein though.

I have my pre op class on Wednesday. I start my diet on Monday also!

I think we all feel your pain!!! Stick with it and it will pass before you know it!

My surgery is scheduled for July 21. I'm having a revision from the lapband to sleeve. A little nervous but wishing surgery was done already!

[MaryPh 78]

My regimen is two Protein supplements and 3-5 very small meals, focusing on protein first (i.e. 1 oz of cheese and 3 or 4 grapes). Need to be sure and shrink my liver!

Surgery buddies! Yeah!

[MaryPh 78]

Definitely!! Sounds like our regimens are a bit different pre-surgery, but our journeys will still be similar. Is this your first bariatric surgery? @@Bullydog Mom

Yes this is my first See you are a revision @@MaryPh

[MaryPh 78]

Yes I had the band several years ago. Very excited for the sleeve!

Mine is just very low carb until the last three days, which are liquid only. I feel lucky about that. Low carb is a breeze by comparison.
