Seems that there are many threads about January sleevers, but now we have a place to call home.

My surgery is January 20th. I'm having my band removed and sleeve at the same time. Currently talking my way through day 2 of this preop all liquid diet... help!

I'm getting the sleeve on 1/29 at Kaiser in Denver, Colorado. Starting living shrinking diet on 1/15.

I'm scheduled for January 18. Just got my insurance approval yesterday. I'm a little luckier than most as my surgeon only requires a 1 week pre-op diet, which I will be starting on Monday. ????

congrats on getting through day 7!

I thought I could never do this prep diet. I'm working through day 3 and surprising myself.

Hi everyone. I had my surgery Tuesday January 5th. Very excited to be here and to be on this journey.

Also a January sleeve here, 1/18 in wisconsin. Getting through the pre-op diet now!

On day 4 of the pre op. Amazed how I'm not craving any solid foods.... Yet

Hi everyone. I had my surgery Tuesday January 5th. Very excited to be here and to be on this journey.

Keep us updated how youre doing.

Getting through day 5 of this liquid diet. Last time I did liquids for 2 weeks was post op when I got my band back in 09

Then I didnt care. I didnt want anything anyway. This is getting tough but I want less visceral fat and a good liver so they can do both procedures at once.

How is everyone doing?

I'm getting my sleeve on Monday and I'm so excited/completely freaking out! I'm only 25 and never been hospitalized for anything, never had an IV or catheter, never had anything worse than Vicodin for post wisdom tooth extraction.... And I'm a nurse! I've never been off this long, 3 weeks?! What the hell am I going to do?!!! I guess this will be a lot of firsts for me, but the best first will be my first pair of jeans that I can buy in a store that fit my belly, and my tiny legs! Who else is totally excited for some actual skinny jeans!!!????

Thanks! I'm doing pretty well actually. Have had the gas a bit still but it seems to be making it's way out alright. I've been a bit emotional today but think that's all a very early part of this journey. I hope you are doing well!

Great. How emotional? regrets? excited?

I'm just ending the first week of preop liquid diet. All Liquids. Starting day 7 today

HEY!!! Glad to see we have a place now! I'm scheduled for the 20th! In Boise Idaho! We will be leaving for Boise on the 18th because of preop and stuff we live way too far to drive back and forth. So mini vaca for me!! I'm so excited! I can't wait to share this journey with everyone!

My surgery is January 20th.

Hey! I'm having my sleeve done on Jan 20th, also at the OCC! I'm also doing the 2 week liquid diet thing, and it super sucks for me I haven't lost an ounce since I started liquids last Wednesday (lost 14 lbs right before that though on the atkins-esque pre-pre op diet), and I'm starving all the time. I think I'm winning the head hunger games though since i'm not cracking! KEEP THE EYE ON THE PRIZE. See you in 8 days!
