Congrats on your approval! I am scheduled for this Monday 7/21! I am doing well on my pre op diet but it is only 800 cal. My weight seems to be fluctuating up and down but I think its just Water retention because I have been drinking about 4 liters per day.

I just had my surgery on 7/11/14 and I was on a liver shrinking diet and lost 10 lbs. I'm now on 2 weeks liquid, 2 weeks purée and 2 weeks soft food. Albeit I didn't expect so much pain after the surgery but I have a low threshold of pain.

Good luck

Wow that's a lot of water I'm supposed to drink 64 oz. my problem is trying t I drink liquids one oz for 30 minutes then continue like take a sip of water and wait until a few minutes then another sip and keep going until you reach 30 minutes then rest and start again.

Hello any help would be great as my date is set for July 23rd. I have blue shield and they denied me because they said I was missing a paper. We re faxed it in and they said they can take an additional 5 days. Has anyone heard of this? Has anyone had this happen to them? Will it take the full 5 days at that point? Some say it's quicker but I'm worried.

[crazzeescrapper 125]

July 24 here too. Just think, next week at this time we'll be on the other side of this journey! I'm all stocked up with post surgery Protein stuff and ready to go

I'm scheduled for 7/22. I'm scared and excited! I had a lap band about 4 yrs ago, and wasn't successful. I pray this works!

My dr told me if the band didn't work the sleeve won't work. I just really want to have surgey!!!!
