Hello Everyone, Getting Sleeved on August 14th by Dr Guillermo Alvarez. My 30 day preop starts on July 17th, (i know not 30 thats what they put down) I have how ever been working on it since May trying to loose and down 17 lbs. I have been ast few weeks been oing Protein and liquid for 2 meals and then jsut a nice piece of chicken, Shrimp or fish for supper with veggies and fruits. So feel I have been doing ok. I have bought most the Vitamins or getting there. did get the watermelon bullets to and opened one and took a swallow, there ok, pretty sweet. I dont like grape or cherry fruit punch. But can we take them with us on a plane where its liquid? Sharene congratulations...Got to chat with Stormwarning & ICandoit and hoping to get to meet more that is going to Dr A in August, would be great to find someone that will be there the same day. This is an amazing new journey thats like a rollercoaster ride. :)

Thanks Stormwarning your information was wonderful and so appreciate it

Hello Everyone, August 14th getting sleeved My Dr, Guillermore Alverez (Strawberrysoul same day) just different places. good luck...Getting nervous I have a 30 day preop liquid diet

I am going through the same feelings here. I am on a 30 day preop diet (ecause of high BMI)Starting On July 17, Surgery date is Aug 14th, (they gave me a few day grace period I guess) with Dr. Guillimore Alvarez in Mexico for the VGS. I have been already working at it since May and Cutting Calories down as I go every few weeks. Even been on about 2 1/2 weeks now of two meals Protein and liquid already to try and help. I have been doing pretty good at it and already loosing, but by 4-8 pm I am starving, been having small meals like a salad no dressing, veggies and fruits and a small piece of chicken or fish. I do that about every other day with the other days just Soups. How ever I cant get past the starving growling stomach. I have used warm drinks, kept a glass of liquids with me at all times and drinking. Any suggestions of others that may have had to it this long what types of things you use to help? I am essentialy alowed broths, Protein Drinks, sugar free jellos & drinks, and one can of fat free Soup a day. Really not sure how to make it through 30 days. Also I am back and forth with feelings, one day cant get it done soon enough, the next I cant Stop thinking morbid thoughts that scare me to death and I am physicing my self out. Even google earthed the hospital in Mexico and first thing I see is a black hurst at a funeral home. I keep hearing a quote I read on some form while doing so much reasearch that said "your not going to hear the bad things from the dead". I assume many of these feelings is normal and many go through them, how do you handle them?
