Hello! I am scheduled for september 19th. Im waiting patiently and eagerly.

[SleeveMeToIt 28]

Sept. 15th gastric sleeve here! I am trying to get my head wrapped around what will be happening and the big changes I need to make to get through it and back to a lifestyle I lived 8+ years ago.

I'll be following you all, cheering on your success!!

Welcome to all the new people Can't believe its almost sept, yay! How are the people going soon feeling? I still have awhile to go but I see more people for the 19th which is my day too. I don't think I have enough Protein Shakes so I'm getting some more. Trying to break up my orders so that I can spread out the cost. I'm worried because most people seem to like the premier shakes before surgery but then it seems they are too sweet to people after the surgery. So I don't want to have too many and have it be a waste of money. I've heard fairlife is a good option for after because its less sweet but I haven't tried them yet. Maybe I should get some just in case. I don't like milk, so I'm hoping it isn't too plain. Other than planning, I'm just trying to make time go faster lol.

I'm 5 days through week 1 of pre-op...it was a little rocky day 1 & 2 but not unbearable. I drank a ton of iced tea (I’ve always enjoyed unsweet so that was no big deal) to stave off any nasty caffeine headaches...however, the sugar/carb withdrawal headache blows pretty badly anyway! I even managed to eat out a couple of times with my family...sticking very closely to the amounts/ingredients suggested on my diet plan. As many have suggested for real life after WLS, having a Protein Bar and tea/water on me at all times was a lifesaver and helped keep me from making bad choices. I worked on not letting myself get hungry and I find that 5 days later, I’m actually hungry less...if that makes any sense?! Good luck all and especially those about to go to liquid pre-op!!

Thank you for the update! I'm glad to know the diet can get easier, at least as far as the hunger pangs go.
