I was wondering if any of you guys or gals are in the food industry? I am a chef in a Las Vegas and is scheduled to get sleeved on the 22nd. I was wondering if you have any tips on how you get through your busy work day staying hydrated and without driving yourself crazy with all the food around. My biggest concern is the water intake. I know I am supose to sip sip sip but for the past 15 plus years I have been programed to down a bottle of water in a minute. I am really worried when I get real busy that I won't drink enough due to the small amount of fluids I will be able to take in and the time that I have to get them in. Any advice will be greatful.

Scheduled for 10/22. Can't wait

I had my consultation with my Dr yesterday and told me that I didn't have to go on a pre-op diet. He only asked that I have no food or drink after 10pm the night before my surgery. I don't know if I should feel lucky or concerned. Every bit of research I have done on this procedure says that I go on a 2 week liquid diet before surgery. The Dr. also said that he has done enough of these that he doesn't ask his patients to do the diet. What’s your opinion?

Is it ok to go if you haven't been sleeved YET? Do you have to sign up for them or can you just walk in? I'm scheduled for 10-22 and want to see as much up front as I can.

I had my mind already thinking that I would have to do a two week liquid diet. I am going to go ahead with it. I think it will be better for myself to be ready for it coming out of surgery. He did say if I was heavier than I would have to go on a liquid before hand. Who would off thought a 377 lb male isn't heavy enough to have to do a pre-op diet. thanks for your input.
