Sept 3 sleevers?

[tiffdmill 26]

I am scheduled to be sleeved on 9/3. I guess I'm fortunate that I only have to do liquids for two days. Good luck to each of you have to do extended liquid diets. I'm sure it's not easy. I keeping making lists of things "to do" and "to get" in order to prepare. Can't believe its a week away!

You are definitely lucky to only have two days of liquids. I'm on day 12 of my liquid diet, with three more to go after this. Surgery is Monday!

It's funny you mention your list-making. I have several Google Doc files going where I have a to-do list and a packing list. Plus I made a calendar of everything (when to start pre-op diet, when to go off my supplements, surgery date, when to re-start supplements, when I can start each new food phase, doctors appointments, etc.).

Ha, so I have a giant excel file that says what I need to do each day for the first month!

It would be an excellent idea to make a template with dates in excel to make it easy to track.. I have been writing everything on paper.

I used this Google Docs Calendar Template and just filled in info on the appropriate dates, then printed off the August, September, and October tabs (since those were the months most stuff was happening for me) and hung them on my cabinets in my kitchen.

I started Clear Liquids today (surgery on Wednesday). Had Unjury chicken broth, regular broth, SF Jello (with unflavored Unjury), Water and a few sips of Isopure. I have had so much painful gas and belching. Could it be the unjury? Ugh!

I am having gas and belching too and wondering how I can belch when I'm taking in so few calories? I don't know why, but at least you know you're not the only one.

Can't wait until this is over, I was at my sister's for a Labor Day pool party today and left alone crying because everyone was enjoying all kinds of delicious food and all I could have was liquids. Had a little pity party in the car on the way home, glad I was smart this morning and made my husband take his own car. He is still there with kids and I have been on this site for 3 hours, looking for inspiration.

Two days from now, we will all be sleeved. Wishing everyone good luck!

Yes, glad to know it's not just me! Today has been a little rough for me. Ready to move forward! Sorry to hear about your Labor Day. Things are going to get better!!!

[Myonlybattle 65]

I have to be there at 6:15 AM . . . so scared (and hungry )

Good Luck to all of us!!

[leapyear 21]

Good luck everyone!!! I'm sure all will go smoothly for each of you. Hopefully the unjury will go better after surgery.

I'm the next day but won't know time until tomorrow afternoon. Ugh:(

Tomorrow (9/3) is my day. I got my call to be at hospital 9:15 am. Surgery is scheduled for 11:15 am. I am starting to get a little nervous. Praying everything goes well. Good luck to everyone.
