Getting sleeved on July 19th. I start my pre op of liquids July 9th. Any advise or what did you guys do? Thanks. I'm a little nervous.

The pre-op can be a little hard. Especially the first 3 days. My worst days were 1-3. I ended up having to do a month of pre-op due to surgery being rescheduled. I have to tell you that I thank God that I had to do it. Even though at times was very difficult it taught me how to cope with the fact that my life was going to change forever. I am 8 weeks out today and am happier than ever. I wish you the best of luck.

Advice:

1. Drink low sodium chicken or beef stock. That helped me tremendously

2. SF popsicles got me through a lot of tough moments.

3. Plan on a different way of coping with stress and anxiety. Mine was, and still is, walking. I walk all the time. It produces that calming feeling I used to get from eating.

4. Read these forums and get support, daily if you have to. That helped me tremendously.

5. Go to bed early. Get plenty of rest.

Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Are you on solids yet?

Oh yes, I've been eating just about anything I want. I still have trouble with chicken though. I'm going to try it in crock pot. I heard it helps break it down better to handle. I still drink 1 shake a day, low carb one. I put 2 strawberries in it.

I gotta be honest, I took phentermine during my pre-op diet, because I have zero self-control!

Wow thought that was pulled from the market. I tried it a few years ago and it caused heart palpitations

I've take it several times in the past to help me and it helped but not permanently but if I must b honest, if I had some, I'd take it w the preop diet as well bc I hear it is brutal. I wudn take it postop bc its a new way of living nd if the phen had worked b4 permanently, I wudn do the surgery nd yes, it caused my heart rate to increase as well, until I got use to it. Thx
