I met with the surgeon today to discuss timeline and options. He told me the lap band has been pulled from the market, which is fine because I want a sleeve. I have my scope and psych evaluation next Wednesday. (They are accommodating double appointments for me because I live over 2 hours away). I am self pay and this is happening so fast! I'm SUPER excited, EXCEPT for the 2 week pre-op liquid diet. I am TERRIFIED of that.[emoji20] I've never done anything like that and I'm afraid for the first time. Does anyone have any tips on how to get through that? Liquids that fill you up, taste good or ways to help the 2 weeks feel like it's going faster? I know it will be less of a struggle after surgery, I think I just need ideas and encouragement. Today was A LOT to take in.[emoji51]
