Hello!

Welcome to the forums! This is a good place for support and advice.

I am navigating the journey to sleeve surgery. Hoping to have surgery by the end of the year. With a job/insurance change, I'm not sure what hoops I have to jump through yet. My husband was sleeved in April this year and has had no complications. He's down 70 pounds since then. Looking forward to following your journey to health!

Wishing you all the best!!

Ignatious, Linda and Harmony... I too have a Sleeve date of August 9th... seems like I have been waiting for almost a year and now I am so excited and nervous at the same time... Is that how you feel?? I have been on the protein shakes since Monday, so far so good. I think I am just so determined that this is my last shot to have a tool to change my life, that I am not fighting it.

Tell me how you are doing?

Doing great, nervous of course. Pre op diet is tough but looking at the light at the end of the tunnel! Watched slot of stories on YouTube which eased my mind.

that is a great idea, I haven't watched any stories or even went to the b4 and afters on here yet, I have been caught up on all the researching on what my life changes are going to be and preparing that way. I like knowing I am educating and I am committed to this new life. My nervousness is going away, excitement is growing.

It will be here before we even know it. What are gals you eating for pre op diet?

bone broth, homemade chicken broth, sf jello, protein shakes, protein drinks water water water tea. thats about it

So you are on an all liquid diet? I have 3 protein shakes and 1 lean cuisine (prepared meal). Seems a lot of doctors put patients on an all liquid diet. All the diet consists is 800 calories seems like, I don't know why an all liquid diet is necessary
