Im having my surgery on Jan 4th...on pre op diet now and its day 3 and its pretty hard not eating...Anyone know if were allowed to eat anything solid?I ndont remember and drs office is closed till Mon...

I guess it depends a bit on the doctor. If you are on the full liquid diet as I will be 2 weeks before my surgery, there is not much that I can eat (solid food). I will be able to eat leafy green vegetables (unlimited) as well as steamed veggies. Nothing else except 3-4 Protein shakes a day and Water, sugar free drinks and popsicles, bouillon, and SF gelatins. I am going to make up a HUGE batch of chicken broth and SF Jello before I start.

AGAIN - it depends on your doctor though so don't go by my eating plan. I think you would be OK with the popsicles and gelatins though.

Oh how I miss veggies! I can't wait to bring them back into my life! ????????????

I'm scheduled for January 5th. Oh and hello all. I'm new here.

I know there are a lot of us getting sleeved tomorrow. I'm making myself so anxious. Anyone have any advice to overcome this anxiety?

I have no advice but am anxious as well...I keep trying to go to sleep so I can wake up and get my surgery in the am. I would kill for a couple bites of actual food...lol

Good luck today to all the sleeves. I'll be heading to the hospital in about an hour. I'll post updates when I can.

Good luck today's sleevers! Excited for you all!

Good luck...I will be headed to the hospital in an hour

Good luck to today's Sleevers! I'm wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thank you to everyone

Surgery was a success. I was a little nauseous yesterday on and off but not too bad. I was out of bed and walking around the hospital floor last night. I can home today still sleepy but no pain at all. A little uncomfortable but not pain. I've been trying my best to sip my liquids. So far it's only been sugar free jello and water. I didn't care for the chicken broth at the hospital. Tomorrow I can start in full liquids including protein shakes.

How did everyone else do?

Glad that you are doing fine now you are officially on the other side of this journey. I have been waiting to hear from those of you that had your surgeries yesterday. Congrats and Happy New Year!

I feel like death warmed over...lol...it impossible for me to get in the amount of liquids at this moment I am trying my hardest
