Are you on clear diet now? I just drank my broth and ughh, i think im gonna be a Jello eater for the next couple of days...lol

Hi y'all! When I started this journey I was 240, sw 239 cw 169 gw 140. I am almost a year out of having a sleeve, and go in on Monday at 5:30 for the bypas. My doc requires 3 days liquid before the surgery. One day down two more to go

Hi all, I'm scheduled for 2/1 also. Ready for Monday! I'm 5'2" started at 225 but am down to 215 with this liquid diet. I look forward to keeping I touch with all of you and making this journey together

Hi everyone!!!! I'm on 2/1. I'm 5ft 6in and my weight stats are SW 286, CW 276, GW160. My doctor only requires clears starting tomorrow till midnight so I'll start that then but today I'm on a self-imposed liquid diet. I'm drinking pure protein, broth and water. I'm so excited! Good luck everyone!

Hey girl! Fancy meeting you here! Lol!!!! Aren't you so excited? and I hear you on the broth. I have to get it sooooooo hot and add pepper and salt to drink it. What kind? Homemade or a brand?

Hi everyone! My surgery is on Monday Feb 1 and i am going to be the very first person to go in. My HW was 294 my CW is 281 my GW 150. I am currently drinking water and soup but tomorrow I'm going to drink mostly water and some broth to stay hydrated

Thanks this is a great idea we can keep each other going thru this journey.

My name is Sandy I live in the Chicago area. I am 53 years old and a nurse. I am 5'5" and my HW was 267 CW now at 236.

My surgery is not until 3:45 pm on Monday so it will be a long day that I am so anxious to get done with so I can begin my new life.

No my doctor didn't make me do clear liquid, just high protein low carb. They said they know we will have to do the clear liquid afterwards so they didn't want me to before.

Hi Kayla, I've been wondering my place in order for Monday, they didn't tell me:( but I'm still excited.

Ah! 3:45! I would be so anxious too! Mine is at 9:30 am with a check-in time of 7:30 am. Any later than that and I think I would go crazy! good luck!

Thank you. I don't know what I will do all day other then pace ????

Sandy that would drive me nuts! I have very poor veins. When I went in for my sleeve it was at 3pm and they had the hardest time finding a vein cause I was so dehydrated, so she made sure I was on the list for first thing in the morning this time. Do you have something to keep you busy while you wait to go to the hospital? BTW what kind of nurse are you? Don't happen to work at the hospital you are getting surgery are you? I always wondered how that would be lol. =)
