Yes sleep a little difficult even without caffeine! I will be at Huntington Memorial in Pasadena and look forward to chatting with both of you afterwards. My surgery was moved up a week so I have only had 3weeks to get ready... Welcome CreCre! Guess you are kaiser too?

I am August first!

Ha! Where are you having this done?

I meant decaffinated lol!

Welcome!! I'm Aug first too! If you follow the August group we have lots of nice folks there! I can't believe ... I'm just 3days away from surgery!! Have a little of the " what if's" heebie jeebies but am decaf financed and commited! Have lost 11lbs even though surgeon just said don't gain... How are you guys doing??? Ready???

Would be happy to ... My surgery tho isn't till Aug first:-)

Thanks for the site. I'm kind of new at this and getting ready for my sleeve the first of August. I have two questions... 1. When you strain out the noodles do you still count it as 12 G of protein??? 2. How do you post the tickers??? I have one, but cant figure out where to post it! I am so impressed by yours....you are a hero!!

Wow Ladies Lots going on... Prayers with you over lung scan... It seems scary for sure but that's what all the pre op stuff is for ... To rule out all issues that could impede your success .... Or slow your recovery or risk your life!! I agree with not risking Chia seeds or anything that swells... But best ask surgeon or nutritionist I think.What are these prep diets you all are on??? I'm just not supposed to gain weight and can't have anything after midnight before surgery...still I am doing South Beach and aiming to lose 10 by the 1st. Have made it off coffee with little problem but am beginning to get nervous. Thank you all for being here it really helps!!

I like that idea...sometimes I have a hard time navigating this site!

Got a call and surgery has been moved up to Aug 1....yikes!! But as I said earlier no going back now I'm decaffinated:-)

Just wondering if this surgery requires an ng (naso gastric tube) If so, when was it placed and when did it come out??

Thank you all...am waiting for reply from surgeon... My date was moved up to aug1 so am getting nervous...but I am decaf finagled now, so there is no going back! Sent from my iPad using VST

Best wishes...will look for your post-op post!! My date moved up to Aug 1!

Thank You... Looks like I have a 50/50 chance ... Ugh!

We're you tested for leak before discharge? If so, how is that done?
