My sleeve is in 2 weeks. I am excited, nervous, worried, but most of all thrilled. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. Any suggestions guys? Also, please pray for me that I don't chicken out! Thank you in advance!

It's normal to be nervous. I went through the second guessing and all the what-ifs as well. The pre-op diet is a good prep for how things will be right after surgery. The upside is that you'll likely not have any hunger after surgery and won't have much interest in food. The first few days of the diet can be a challenge, but it does get easier as time goes by. My suggestion is to get anything out of the house that you know might be too tempting to have around. Cheating isn't something you want to do on the diet. Keep the focus on following instructions and shrinking your liver. The better you do the easier it will be at surgery time.

Good luck!

Thanks for the advice!
