I just got my surgery date for March 5. I am excited and nervous at the same time but I'm trying to hold it all together.

I have a few homemade stocks frozen but I didn't want to do a bunch of freezing in case my stomach couldn't handle some of the items I froze. Some other sleevers have said that their tastes change a lot after the surgery so I didn't want to spend a lot of time making things that I wouldn't eat.

March 9th here! Excited a little nervous. Start pre op diet on 2/23 and pre op appt with surgeon 3/1

March 6 here!! Starting preop diet today. I am more nervous about that than I am the surgery...

March 7th for me. It is starting to get real for me this week! Good luck to everyone and I look forward to cheering each other on!

March 1 for me start pre op on Monday since I only have to do 3 days of liquids

March 6 here!! Starting preop diet today. I am more nervous about that than I am the surgery...

Snap! I'm March 6th also. I'm 3 days into my 16 day preop diet, which is 14 days on protein shakes + meat/veggies. I'm finding it ok during the day, but a bit tougher in the evenings.

I'm doing terrible on this two week liquid diet. Seriously. It's so hard not eating. I'm so sick of shakes, I've never liked jello or popsicles, and with a limit of one bouillon cube a day it's rough!! I'm forcing myself to eat the jello, but the days are just dragging by so slowly. I don't know how I'm gonna get through the next 8 days!!

The first day or so was tough, just getting the routine going and getting used to drinking all of the water also.

I'm good with the water. Of course, I spend more time in the bathroom than I do anything but the water isn't hard for me. I just feel awful, still, on day 6. At no point has this been easy, or easier. I keep waiting to get to that point.

I am scheduled for 1st March at West Medical in Tarzana CA. I am on day 6/14 of the liquid diet and doing great so far.
