I have finally been cleared and approved for my sleeve surgery!!! I almost had to call it off (rescheduled 2x) after having a minor stroke earlier this month. My surgeon required clearance from a neurologist and I had to go thru a series of tests because of it (echocardiagram, brain MRI, lung CT scan). WHEW!

I'm finally scheduled for June 6 (my birthday is June 3) and I am so ready! One last hoorah this weekend (Memorial Day) although I will still eat smart.

Let's go! WOO-HOO

June 7th and ready!!!

I started liquids yesterday and am still tweaking the plan. I am more hungry today than yesterday though, I think I need to reschedule when I drink my protein. I think my secret is going to have to be keeping very busy for the next 5 days. I'm not nearly as anxious as I was and this support group is wonderful. It really helps to share the journey.

I am on June 6th and my bmi is low so I don't have to do the liquid diet thank god. I am getting a little nervous as ive never had surgery before, well except for my tonsils out when I was young.

you guys should find the tickers to do, its fun

What are tickers?

the things that come up under my message that tells how you are doing on weight and or surgery date -look down

When on a mobile phone tickers can't be seen nor added from the app.

Ok, so in addition to it being my birthday today, its also the 1st day of my pre-op liquid fast! Everyone is bringing me cupcakes but I cannot partake! LOL...but seriously, I'm a bit grumpy today perhaps from not eating, and the caffeine withdrawal headaches are constant!

Well, my goal is in sight, my VSG is this coming Monday, June 6! Keep a good thought going for me guys...will keep you updated!

Mine is Monday too, and I'm doing ok on the liquid diet. I'm finding the secret is to add protein powder to everything. It's keeping me from getting hungry. And I try to stay as busy as possible so I don't have time to think about it. You and the rest of us on liquids will survive. ????

June 13 here!

Just scheduled today for June 8, next Wednesday.

Where do you find the "tickers"?

My surgery is Monday as well. So far just coffee and Protein shake. Am very nervous but will try to keep busy, as well. Am making my own chicken broth. My coworkers gave me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a card, which was so nice. I started all this in January...I can't believe it's finally here!
