suzylou 1 Posted February 24, 2011 I am scheduled for March 1. No pre-op diet was required but I am trying to stay with Soups liquids and Protein Shakes. I was on the HMR diet required by our insurance for 3 months preop but my MD does not require a specific pre op for his sleeves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QueenBee 0 Posted February 26, 2011 So excited to be in such good company. The time is upon us, as March is just about here. I hope we can continue this thread of "Marchers". Supporting one another as we each progress on this journey. At this point I am both nervous and excited. So ready to see that scale start going down. Nervous about what is ahead. I started my pre-op fluids a week early, as I've had liver enzyme problems in the pass, and want that liver to be shrunk as small as possible when the Dr goes in. Haven't been 100% compliant, but enough to realize that next week is going to be h*ll. I think the liquid only is gonna be the worst part... I also started about a month ago with the Vitamins, Biotin for hair and shampooing/conditioning with the Nioxin and using an Arbonne scalp stimulator hair cream (really worried about the Hair loss aspect). What about everyone else??? Anything else I should or could be doing? Look forward to reading the posts of those who go ahead of me. Luck to all ~QueenBee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surgery is Monday at Forest Park Medical Center in Dallas, TX I'm getting so nervous! liquid diet say 6 and all I can think about is if I can do this for 6 days why can't I do this on my own without the surgery...... part of me is excited the other part feels like a failure. Oh Well, I know i will get over that feeling soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh Well, I know i will get over that feeling soon. I have the VERY same thoughts! I am on day 4 of my 2 weeks pre-op and I keep thinking if I am doing so well with this why can't I do it alone? I know at some point I will fail at this and then I remember why the surgery is necessary! I have lost 7.4lbs so far since starting the pre-op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
