Hey everyone ! Just curious to see if anyone is getting sleeved in or around February 2016. Although I don't have an exact date yet, I'm expected to get sleeved around mid February.

The nurse just called to say that the Levsin should help with any discomfort in swallowing so take it religiously! I've noticed it helps which is why I can now drink my shakes! Better hurry up before it wears off lol!

Day 4 for me and no cravings. I had cut out coffee after my initial consult in December. Same thing with diet soda. I loved them but I didn't want them anymore.

Down another 3.4lbs from yesterday. Once I stall, I'll stop weighing lol.

I'm loving these hospital shakes! I brought one home with me. They are so light and fruity. Like juice. Hubby ordered a pack and I just ordered another pack because I've decided to switch my routine to starting the day with these things. They are so good and not too heavy.

I started with a pedialyte Popsicle (I had 1/4 of the Popsicle) to soothe my throat, then I was able to take my pain meds and then I was able to finally swallow and I'm working on the fruity shake. Feels like I'm getting into a routine!

What is the name of the shakes from the hospital? Trying to stalk up on stuff before surgery and would love a variety of shakes.

K1154...thanks! Hope your surgery goes well!

They are by Health Wise and they have a variety of fruity ones. Health wise apparently makes other things like coffee/chocolate drinks but I have my tried those. The health wise fruit shakes are really good and light.

February 15th here! Excited and nervous!

hi jjrb72! We have same surgery date and I feel the same way! Tons of emotions swirling around in my head! It would probably be weird if we weren't feeling this way! Good luck with your upcoming surgery!

Yes, all the cold stuff or room temp stuff I seem to still feel going down. I had a hiatal hernia repair as well, along with scar tissue reduced from a previous lap band that I had removal a few years before.

I just woke up, still not too familiar with these forums, guys. I think I'm on a free membership.

ANYWAY I too alas, moved my bowels this morning and I think it's going to happen now frequently. I am home eating the bone broth that I made during my pre op diet. I froze it all in muffin aluminum, chicken and beef, lamb, farm bones. It took me the entire two weeks because bone broth has to cook slow and low so long. Anyway, I think that is why I finally went.

Two weeks is a good idea for a pre op, because the first week you're adjusting and bargaining with yourself over the eating plan. By the second week, you're a pro, by the day before, it's cake. Then, afterwards, forgettaboutit. You're golden.

How much did you lose during pre op diet

Im Feb 23rd! Very nervous! But excited to finally start down a healthy path for the future!
