I start my was supposed to be five day now seven day liquid diet on the 27th... nervous and excited but mostly happy about the change coming in my life.

My surgeon told me RNY is ideal for the weight I need to loose but sleeve is better bc if my complex medical issues so much will be up to me. This scares me some but I feel up to the challenge to.

Guess I'm looking for advice and encouragement...right now I weigh 322. gained some weight but it's PMS time too..bahhh.

@@Butterflywarrior like you I started at higher weight and they recommended RNY but I am so glad I went with the sleeve. Love your name, btw.

You sound up to the challenge! Use these next few weeks to prepare, but not overly so (taste can change after surgery, don't buy too much).

Remember that the more you can focus on pre-op, the easier it is for your surgeon to move your liver and do good surgery etc. A good pre-op means easier surgery AND easier post-op.

It is worth it, so give it your all. Plus, it is good practice for after when not sticking to the plan can have dire outcomes like infection.

Best of luck, it will be here before you know it.

Ty and love ur name too, I'm butterfly nuts lol they have special meaning to me...long story. ..

Starting tomorrow m I will be replacing oNE meal, likely lunch with a premier Protein and eating healthy breakfastl dinner prior to the 17th to help Jumpstart my b weight loss

Ty for ur encouragement..I definitely want to shrink my liver especially bc I'm pretty severely diabetic too.

I get sleeved on 10-20 and was told to do a 1week pre op diet. However, I decided to do a 2week diet just for precaution and my own piece of mind. I don't want any setbacks when the time comes.

Keep us posted on your journey!

I was sleeved yesterday too! 10/20/16- how are you? I'm fine so far.. just a little upper abdominal gas and a sharper pain in left upper abdomen under rib cage. No nausea. Walking a lot. Hoping to go home around 1-2pm today.
