The one thing I cant wait to do is tuck my shirt into my jeans. Something as simple as that but I havent done it in almost 30 years. I always feel sloppy with shirt untucked. I cant wait to have a belly small enough where it looks good with my shirt tucked in.

Welcome Qwalla. Im from WV so I not anywhere close to Boise. The pre op liquid diet I guess depends on the doctor. I have seen anywhere from 10 days to just 1 day. He said mine would be 3 days.

Sorry to hear that. I have my overnight sleep study next Tuesday. I'm hoping it all goes smoothly. I have anxiety. I dont want to know if I stop breathing in my sleep...I will never sleep again. Lol

Its a support group I found online. It does all kinds of weight loss surgeries and plastic surgeries. They have a special section for sleevers. Its very informative too. I like all the info I can get.

Lol I just found this the day before yesterday. I am also using RealSelf online but not the app.

I tried to put what you said up there and then reply. It didnt quite come up right. I'm just learning this app Sorry! Lol

I do see the nutrionist but dont have to keep a long. I only ate once a day before but it was big meals and homecooking. Everything fried. So shes not having me even diet now just to get use to having 3 meals a day so I also started I cooperating the Muscle Milk and I also ordered the Unjury Chicken and Unflavored. Im not a sweets person but have gotten the SF Jello and SF Popsicles. I figure I start now it wont be as hard later. I'm glad I dont have to do the 10 day preop diet. I dont know if I could. I can do 3 days because I already tried it but it was hard. To do 10 days would be a huge struggle. I have went from a pack a day smoking to about 3 packs a week. I quit for a couple months once a year just about every year so I can quit when I have to. I always start again because my husbands a smoker and I love my cigarettes. Lol I told my doc that I would be smoking up until 11:59pm the night I have to quit. He just laughed. Thats why Im having the sleeve so if I start again after it wont cause any problems. If you smoke after bypass he said It will give me ulcers. My only problem really has been eating more of stuff because my mind says I wont eat it again after surgery. My dietician says she hears that alot and not to worry because I will be able to eventually eat everything just not as much.

I thought I wouldn't be having mine until late August/September but they said July and my last appt will be July. I don't have to lose weight either but I can't gain any before the surgery or my insurance will deny me. I'm a smoker but I only have to quit 30 days before. I only have to do preop diet 3 days instead of the week or 10 days I see others have to do it. I guess there are different rules depending on the insurance, the doctor and the patients health.

My doctor says my surgery should be in July. I started he process in late January. I have a 6 month waiting period for the insurance. This week will be my 3 dietician appointment out of the 6 I'm requird to have. I've already done my Psych and EGD. I have my sleep apnea test next week then I dont have anything else except dietician appts until the last 30 days. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
