I am so excited that my insurance approved me and I'm set for June 11th. However I'm freaking out a little bit because now it's like HOLY CRAP it's REALLY HAPPENING!

Any other June Sleevers around? Any words of encouragement or advice?

Everyone on here has somewhat of a different regimen I guess depending on surgeon, mine is 14 days pre-op, I started last week, 2 protein shakes and one small meal, I chose breakfast, lunch protein because of my work schedule, and small dinner which has been great since my wife is an awesome cook, I choose not to snack on things and prefer shaved ice with MIO over the top, i am on a tight budget so I had to do my work and shop around , I saved over $150.00 on my protein and vitamins, make sure you give yourself variety and allow for as much water as possible, I got different flavors for my water and I'm not even missing soda pops, the only drawback I had was several moments of lethargy and slight dizzy feeling having to fast for my pre op labs, biggest thing is don't jump into what your surgeon's dietician sells you especially if you notice that they sell most of these things there, there are several websites that offer the same thing for a fraction of the cost, the pretty wrapping is for advertising but the important thing is what is inside!

I have 3 days left of the prep diet. My surgeon requires 10 days of 3-4 Protein shakes, unlimited Clear liquids and 2 cups of approved veggies per day. I struggled the most the 2nd through the 5th day due to headaches. I've stuck to it and at this point I know I am so close I won't cheat. I've lost 8 pounds so far which is great motivation for me!

I have never been more ready for this surgery than I am now. My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday June 3rd...so excited to get to the next phase of my journey:-)

June 22 ???? I will start my pre op diet on the 8 so nervous and ready????

All I can have is 20 ounces of skim milk for breakdast,lunch,dinner and before bed snack. All the no sugar no calorie non carbonated drinks I want. Ugh!!!

Wow, i thought my preop was strict. Good luck DebiDoo!

June 29th for me.

Bil - what part of Texas do you live in? I am in North Texas and also do not have a support system. My surgery will likely not happen until the first week in July.

I am a June 15th sleever! Excited and scared at the same time...

June 16th for me. I'm so ready to get this done and over with. Good luck all.

My surgery is on June 17th. I plan to start my pre-op on June 1st. My diet will be 2-3 Protein shakes per day plus 1 healthy meal which includes chicken or fish and a salad w/ lowfat dressing or certain vegies. The third shake is if I am still feeling hungry, along with a very small amount of greek yogurt, sliced cheese, almonds, etc as a snack. I will stick to 2 Protein Shakes and 1 light meal each day if possible. I don't plan to eat more than that unless I am really starving !

I am getting nervous now that my surgery is just around the corner. This site has helped me tremendously.

I'm June 24th. My preop diet isn't too bad. It says "a high Protein, low carbohydrate diet, consuming no more than 1000 calories per day." I'm allowed to even use Lean Cuisines and stuff! I only have to start liquids at 3pm the day before surgery.

I'm getting really excited! I've told my husband, my mom, and a few friends. I don't think I'll ever tell my dad. He's so judgmental.

Another sleeve sister! i'm June 23rd. Do we have the same dad? My dad wanted me to lose wieght and I only see him every two years or so he lives on the west coast. I don't think I can tell him either. It would be hard to explain to him. His way of telling me to lose weight was to not eat american food only korean food.

Anybody not doing a pre up diet? I barely qualify and my surgeon does. Not feel my liver size will be an issue. I am 5ft 5in and 243lbs

Oh and my date is June 9th!transformationtuesday

@@nandjsmom I do not meet the BMI requirements either for surgery, but I am following my doctor's pre op diet of shakes and veggies for 10 days and clear liquids for 2 days before...all high protein, zero carbs, multi vitamin, lots of water. I look at it as training to discipline myself not to grab the quickest thing in fridge...I have to plan, plus I'm losing weight before surgery...less work after!

One more day of skim milk diet,, Clear liquids on Monday.. then.. dah dah dum......

The day i've waited for!

1st time posting... all new to this. My sleeve is June 10th in Mexico!! I am 4 days in to my 2 week pre op diet. Mine is quite strict! Yogurt, cottage cheese, and shakes! Sf jello & popsicles, and broth... I have not cheated and will not but its taking everything Ive got! Trying to keep my eye on the prize!
