Looking for a buddy to connect with. I'm scheduled to be sleeved on 12/15. My pre op diet is giving me head aches. I'm so hungry. I'm started to feel discouraged and thinking maybe I should cancel. I'm nervous and scared.

You can do this! My surgery is tomorrow morning and I am nervous too! I've had thoughts like..."maybe I should just be fat and happy"...but I know myself and I am not happy and feel like crap all the time! We will be so happy when we look back on our journey and reach our goals! Good luck to you!!

That's my anniversary! I was dancing a jig before the surgery.

My surgery is the 16th so we can stay in touch if you want! I'm nervous too but when I need reassurance I just take a selfie and I'm ready.

Thanks everyone. I needed the encouragement. Taking a selfie is not a bad idea. That will keep me going! It's nice to know I have others to talk to.

Today is my first anniversary as well, never give another thought just ignore ur fears and think about the new person u r going to be within months from now. Everything will be alright in the end. I am down 92 pounds now never experienced any common complications or any leaks. Good luck and if anyone needed help Sleevers are here ????

Mine is the 15th as well I'm in Seattle I'm nervous but I know so many people that have done it and look fabulous I look at before and after photos and that's what motivates me one more week!!! Yes the pre-op diet is tough I just keep drinking a lot of water

I am feeling so happy that I went through with it! Lol I started my Clear liquids this afternoon and I feel great!

I've been up walking the halls! I can't wait for the changes in my body to start happening!!

So glad I found this post. Mine is 12/21 so I'm only on day 3 of the pre-op diet. All the sweet shakes are rough. I craved salt today.

Definitely nervous, like you, about being able to handle it all after the fact but am motivated by the incredible change for the future that lies ahead. (wow that sounded super cheesy).

I am down to keep in touch if you are!

Good evening. My surgery date was Dec. 17th. Feeling good, frustrated with hunger and horrible taste in my mouth.

My Sleeve was 12/15 as well. I'm happy to buddy with anyone! So far I'm the only person I know that has ever done a sleeve so it's not easy to find anyone to relate.

Sounds great. Where do you live? What variety have you found with the liquid diet? I am going to the grocery store tonight to look for different soups.

I'm in Kansas.

I went with Soup I like (but stuck with the light variety) cream of potato, which I didn't need to blend but veggie and bean soup mostly. The dietician at the Drs office said I could eat most any soup that had been blended and it's worked great so far.

Today was the first day I got to eat smoshy foods, so I had a scrambled egg this morning. I don't think I've ever been so happy to eat an egg.

I was sleeved Monday so I am only 2 days in. Having water, broth. Powerade zero. Everything going done fine. No nausea!!!

I love your user ID.... Imready2015!

I am five days post op and feeling great. I am going to work tomorrow! Thought I would have to take off two weeks.

My major issue is horrible taste in my mouth and bad breadth.... family complaints.

Yesterday I added Greek yogurt, it was a nice change from Protein drinks.

Best of luck to everyone and speedy recovery.
