Thank you everyone! I am allowed to have SF Jello, and even diet caffeine free soda right up to surgery, but not after. The soda doesn't bother me at all though, since I'm not a big soda drinker to begin with. I'm so happy to have the chicken noodle soup broth idea - thank you so much! I can't tolerate the smell of chicken broth at all. It makes me want to barf! That should work much better for me. And I have a stockpile of popsicles ready to go. Has anyone else heard of adding a little Kool-Aid powder to your Protein shakes to give them flavor? I looked at the packets, and they have no sugar or calories. A friend who had bypass surgery did this with her vanilla shakes, and said it was delicious. Anyway, thank you so much for your help! I'm determined to do whatever it takes.

Wishing you the very best!!!

Hi Izzy, My sleeve is 2/24. Very excited and getting a little bit nervous too. I psych myself out all the time and then I worry that I won't be successful! Congratulations on beginning your new life!!!

Hi everyone. I just joined this afternoon. This site seems to be amazing! I am having my sleeve surgery on 2/24/14, and am just so excited! I can't wait to start my new life! There is a little bit of nervousness and even some self doubt creeping in now that it is getting closer, but I know that I can do this, and do it well! That's all for now, just wanted to say hello to everyone!

Wow, Thank you everyone for your kind words and your support! Congratulations to those of you who are already on your journey to a longer, healthier life, and to those of you who are counting the days until surgery (like I am), I wish you the very best of luck for a speedy recovery, and much much success! Thanks for making this newbie feel welcome!
