It's amazing how each doctor is different. Mine said coffee was allowed as long as I got other fluids in also. In other words no drinking it all day. I was even allowed coffee in the hospital.

I too was a coffee lover before surgery. I was sleeved on the 23 rd and after surgery I was begging for coffee. When I got my first cup my mind was set for that ahhhhh moment but my taste buds said no way! So here it is almost 7 days post op and I am having to make mine really weak and can only manage about 4 oz in the morning. From what I have been told the meds the use to knock you out can change your taste buds. I'm hoping mine wake up here soon cuz I miss my dang good coffee.

Patrick created a Facebook page for July then changed it to Summer sleevers of 2012. It's a completely private page and if you would like to join us just look him up and send a message to him to be added or message him here. It's a great place and a lot of support.

Hello NurseJenn. We have a private facebook page for sleevers if you would be interested in joining. Just send me a friend invite and I will add you to the page. I have learned so much from that page and everyone is so supportive there. It really is a small family that we have created. Look me up, Joyce Dixie Peninger, on facebook if you are on there and want to join. Welcome to the losers bench

Good luck to everyone for the July sleevers!!! Patrick has a facebook group for us all and since he is having surgery on the 2nd, I will be happy to add anyone that wants to join us on there. As Patrick has posted earlier " So just post that you want in then hopefully a member will see your request. To speed up the process you can post a link to your facebook profile or the email address you use to login to facebook." Will be happy to add anyone that would like to be a part of us.

For anyone else that wants to be added to the list, its easy to do yourself. Just click quote on any post that has the list on it, I used the original post to add mine. When that little box comes up where it shows what you are quoting, just type in your name by the date you want it to go by. Then click on post. Voila! You will then be added to the list. This is a lot easier than copy and paste I think just a suggestion.

As of today I have 29 days to go till surgery and 2 wks till I start my liquid pre op diet!!! Yea I am sooo ready!!!!

Hope it was ok, but I just added my name to the list.

Please add me to the list on the 23rd. Thank you so much. Dixie

Please add me to July 23!!! I finally got my date Praise the Lord :D

Just wanted to share with you what I first posted on another subject when I joined this site. God didnt intend for us to be this way. When people try to change my mind about doing this or to tell me I am just lazy and this is the easiest way out, I tell them God didnt intend on me being this way and any help I can get to show God I want to take care of what He has given me then I will do it. food is an addiction just like cigarettes, alcohol or any drug. When someone goes to rehab to free themselves from any of those, isnt that a positive sign for them? Public opinion sucks when it comes to getting help to better yourself. So I just laugh at the ones that are against us for doing this step in better health and for those that are very critical about it, just ask God to bless them and move on. Ok done preaching now, sorry but it breaks my heart to hear that some don't have support from loved ones or friends. Thank God for this forum so we can support one another. God bless everyone.

Ty Patrick will check out that facebook page for sure and the July sleevers. I hope my date will be the first week of July also. I am still so excited that I dont think anything could take me off this cloud I am on lol

Hi Everyone! Thought I was going to be a June sleever but circumstances seem to be pushing it toward July. I go back to my doc on the 19th for follow up from the EGD. He said everything looked good after the procedure so I am guessing I will be pushed to the first week of July for surgery. Sure was hoping for June but no matter what its going to happen!

Looks like Im going to be a July sleever but no problem. Its going to happen no matter what lol
