My date will be either 26th or 30th. Start pre-op liquid diet tomorrow. Hate that my dr. wants 3 weeks but it has to be done.

It is broth. I got both bowls down with no problem, then another two later. The Jello and Popsicle didn't work for me, but I tried an Italian ice today, and that seems to be fine. Maybe the artificial sweetener in the Popsicle and jello were what killed it for me. I've been taking in lots of Water, and today I've been moved to full liquids. Having puréed chicken noodle Soup and Tomato Soup now. Leaving the hospital in about an hour. Hooray! Can't believe I'm finally sleeved!!!

Yes girl!!! I cnt wait for mine

I only have day before clear liquids also. Each doc is different I guess.

Same here, only one day liquids pre op, Thank God!! The hard part will be all the restrictions POST op. yikes!! But I'm soo ready to rid myself of this extra unnecessary weight (a good 70 pounds) for good!!!!!!

As I've been browsing threads, I'm thinking the restrictions may not be as bad as I've built them up in my head. I do love sweets but I found a pumpkin cheesecake mousse you add Protein Powder to. I'm ready to be healthy so it'll all be worth it. And we are all here to support one another. I can't wait to see December sleevers progress pics!

Hey Luminous -- checking in with you to see how it went. I'm officially sleeved! Surgery was easy peasy, and I've been doing good since. Actually getting lots of liquids in, so that's good. Had a difficult time with sugar-free Jello and sugar-free popsicles, though. Not sure if it was the texture, weight/volume, temperature, sweetener, etc. whatever it was, I couldn't handle more than a couple tiny bites of each. I'll try them again at a later date when I have no swelling in my teeny-tiny belly. I've attached a hospital selfie and a pic of my first post-op meal. . Be blessed, everyone!

I'm alive! I woke up in a lot of pain begging for it to stop. Turns out I metabolize pain meds very quickly. They had difficulty keeping me sedated during the procedure. So for me the first 3 days were very painful since pain meds don't offer me relief. Today is better, gas pains are all but gone. I am just having a hard time getting my H2O in. Its 4:30 pm and I'm still working on my Protein shake from this morning. Its painful to swallow even tiny sips still. One the sunny side I've lost 6lbs already thanks you for your support guys! You are an awesome group of people!
