I will be sleeved tomorrow by dr Kim. Good luck to you!

Prayers to you and your family andrew

Mine is just like yours! Tea and coffee and sf non carbonated drinks like propel water too. It's been tough but tomorrow is my day!

On my goodness praying for him.

Same here! Which will be tonight and at 4:30 am! Eek can't believe it's here after one more sleep! (At least I hope I can sleep!)

Bare feet, day 4 was easier! Yesterday and today I have had no inclination of hunger or cravings, I had to force myself to get the 4 shakes in as I was so tired of the tastes. I have alternated adding PB2 and strawberry extract, and adding a little chai protein mix to get diff flavors. My highlight of the day though is the low sod broth! I would rather have that! I have lost 7.5 pds as of yesterday morning in the pre-op.

Mama spike, I'm less than 10 miles from tx motor speedway, near the mint on 156! I am self pay, my insurance has an exclusion for any bariatric surgery. So I will be going to Tx general in Grand Prairie. Check in is at 5:30 am!

Hi I'm in north Fort Worth, my surgery is tomorrow with dr Kim. Since Holden doing yours are you going to trophy club? This has been a very difficult pre-op diet for sure. 3rd day I broke down and had a 1/4 c of maltomeal! I know not a terrible choice, but still wasn't on plan. I would love to meet others in this area to help support each other. Also there is a December sleevers come in board too. Good luck with your surgeries!

I will be looking forward to making the soups you pulled together! Especially the tortilla one!!! Thanks gamegirl!

Ready for Monday! Was super busy at work today, thank goodness! Have to arrive to hospital at 5:30 am, it's 45 minutes from my house...not sure how much sleep I will get Sunday! I cheated after getting home and had a slice of deli turkey... Chewed it to mush and thought of spitting it out too. Figured it couldn't do too much damage. Crossing fingers! This liquid diet has not been easy, but I have given it 98% and I think that isn't too bad! As of this morning I have lost 6 pds. Started liquids Monday morning! Wishing all my fellow 16th sleevers a peaceful weekend and a good experience Monday!!! Get your toes done, but leave big toe unpolished for anesthesiologist! My daughter is heading over to pick up the perishables and some crackers and such that are not going to be eaten! My husband and mom will be at the hospital during and daughter will come when she gets out of work.

Jersygrl and mskoko, congrats on the loss! Glad your follow up went great!!!

Happy birthday peachy!!!

I'm getting vapo rub! That's an awesome tip! Thanks!

Congrats Laura, you look wonderful! I have a difficult time not talking a strangers ear off in my dr's office. Maybe because I know we are all in there for the same thing!

I use fitness pal and my fitbit is synced together. Currently on my pre-op liquids and of course I complete the day and it gives me the "too few calories" statement. Wished there was a way to change that part

We were iced in all weekend and I barely ate, no snacking, got out for a final steak dinner Sunday, and come Monday on preop and I feel like I'm going crazy with hunger! I truly feel it's mostly psychological! I really admire those who have had to do this for more than a week! Mine is 4 protein shakes w skim milk or 5 with water, sf jello or Popsicles, clear non carbonated drinks. Oh and only one 8oz of low sodium broth a day.

Will be thinking of you tomorrow! Those little pills will hopefully help you rest tonight!

I'm on day 2, and struggling. My co-worker could hear my stomach growling today! Haha!

Congratulations Bunny! You look fantastic, and are full of energy! Finding an exercise your passionate about sounds like it's been good to you! I love that your DH was taking all those photos in your yoga moves, you were in Hawaii after all! Congrats on the 100 pounds lost!

Mgr, you are same day as me, and we had a snow day too! I start my pre-op liquids Monday, I would be having a difficult time on them being couped up as well.... Kept busy editing maternity pics from last weekend. It doesn't look like we will get to leave house tomorrow either... I feel for you!!! Hang in there!

PJ's Gas x Slippers Sports bra Chap stick Phone charger Comfy going home clothes Pillow for the ride .. Already have my bag packed and ready lol Only add is maybe tom's or other pull on's for your walking.. I find it difficult to walk in my slippers, and do not want to have to tie tennis shoes also toothbrush and toothpaste if you have long hair a hair tie or braid hair prior to surgery to not worry about it.

so happy for you! glad to hear the good news!

This is said to say but it took me 9 days to realize the reason I was so sick was b/c I am allergic to whey. Now I drink egg white protein shakes and I feel human again! I would hear that periodically, so I started my whey protein for my snacks and breakfast, a few weeks before the liquid diet to make sure that didnt happen before I spent a bunch on stuff. Im glad you figured it out!

Wishing everyone a good night, it's sleeting like crazy here in north texas! The pitter patter is keeping me awake! I'm sorry I haven't been on here as much, but keeping up with the daily emails! Glad to hear most are doing well, praying for those struggling with pain and or roller coaster stomachs. Everyday will get better! Good luck to tomorrow's sleevers! Oh and I too loved the TMI warning, greatness!

Dr Kim in colleyville texas. I re-read the phases today, looks like week 4-5 start purée then week 6 starts the soft protein phase 4
