Anybody scheduled for March 2019?? I just got my surgery date of March 5th!! So excited. They had the end of February available but because of my job, I had to go with March.

I'm getting nervous about my ability to follow through with all the changes I have to make- any suggestions?

This is my 3rd bariatric surgery. Taking it one day at a time for the pre-op diet is key. Make sure you space out your protein shakes equally throughout the day and stay hydrated with water (crystal light, no sugar drinks) and broth. If you know you have a bad habit of late night eating plan for that by getting to bed early or just keeping busy and preoccupied. Boredom is not your friend during the liquid diet phase. Good luck!!

I’m booked for surgery on March 22nd. Nervous but excited! Reading this forum has been a big help already

I’m down for March 13th.

March 6th!

You’re feeling nauseated and tired on the pre-op diet? I think that’s relatively normal if your otherwise healthy. What day are you on? It’s an adjustment from the way we use to eat to the pre-op diet way. You should feel better soon once you get into the zone and get use to the change.

Hi! I had the lap band and revised to sleeve 05/2017. I lost about 75lbs. I did really really well. But at almost 6 months out I developed severe Reflux. After trying every ppi and otc reflux med out there and not getting a satisfactory response from my surgeon I switched hospitals. My current surgeon believes that is it a possibility that the surgeon who did my sleeve was inexperienced with lap band to RNY and choose to go with what he could handle. I’ve regained about 25lbs because bread and nuts didn’t really agitate my reflux as much and sometimes it was easier to choose not being in pain. If you already have GERD and/or reflux be aware that it can get worse after the sleeve. A lot of ppl who have the sleeve as a virgin surgery do just fine on it and don’t have these complications. I’m just happy that the end is almost in sight! Good luck!

Congrats to you March Sleevers- I start my 2 week preop diet tomorrow. Surgery is March 12. I've got everything bagged and ready and a shaker bottle, chicken broth and sugar free jello. I hope I'm as mentally ready as I am physically ready. We've got this.

I'm powering through[emoji16]

Day 2 of my 14 day pre op diet in the books, so far so good!

March 13th here! I’m starting pre op diet tomorrow! I’m ready and excited! Getting hiatal hernia fixed too.

Today is Day 1 of my pre op diet! My surgeon says only clear liquids, I know others say full liquids. What’s your doc say? I’m pumped and ready to get my broth on! ???
