[lovedrotten 20]

I am going for my pre-op appointment today and my surgery is 2 weeks away. I am so excited, I can hardly stand it!!!! I am ready for this and looking forward to the new lifestyle I will be creating for myself in this wonderful journey!!!! Anyone else out there as excited as I am about getting their sleeve???

This sleeve has been a blessing. I am 5.5 months out and 6 lbs from my Dr.s goal and 12lbs from my personal goal.

My surgery is on the 28th! I am in the middle of my 2 week liquid diet, all I do right now is crave food. My shakes and allowable foods are so sickingly sweet. I actually put salt and pepper in the one plain yogurt I am allowed a day. It's getting easier day by day.

i can't wait to have the surgery. It has been a loooooooong wait!

When you went for your preop is that when they started you on your liquid diet? I've been so confused about when that phase comes
Thanks

The day I scheduled my surgery- 6weeks before surgery. My dr informed me of the 2weeks leading up to the surgery I would be on a liquid diet. It is to shrink your liver. During The surgery the Dr has to lift it and move it out of the way. He told me a Fatty Liver is easily injured and that would throw a stick into the surgery. You can shrink it fast with diet. I have done some research and everyone's prediet is different. Some had way longer and others just had a couple hours of days. Some people had liquids only. And others were able to add in one low-fat, no-carb meal a day like broiled chicken and steamed veggies. Ask your Doc at your next visit.

i am having a Revision from a lap-band to a sleeve. When I had the lap band all I had to do before was no food/drink after midnight the day before.

Hope that was helpful.

My surgery is on Wednesday and I don't have a pre-op liquid diet at all except the day before when I do a colonoscopy type diet but with a small Breakfast so my stomach is empty for the surgery.
