Hey Sleeve Weavers! Feb 2015!

[Jana64 65]

What type of pre-op diet are you guys supposed to follow? Mine is 10-14 days of high Protein low carb and then just nothing to eat the day of surgery.

My doctor is not requiring a pre-op liquid diet for me. I guess because I am right near the 40 BMI mark. But I will still plan to step back from foods the week or ten days prior to my surgery so that going to all liquids is not a big shock to my system and so that I don't have solids in my digestive tract before the surgery.

32 days left and counting down...

My date is February 6th in Mexico anyone else have that date?

I am two days before you, February 4th at Magee Women's Hospital in Pittsburgh. We are practically sleeve twins!

Good luck! I'm two weeks post op and have no regrets. Best decision I've made for my health.

YAY! We have a veteran here!!

Tonight I was out driving in town and I saw that the moon was nearly full. I realized tonight that this is the last full moon that I will see before my surgery, it falls on a full moon, too.

I am virtually assured that I will be having a period during my surgery. That kind of sucks. Oh well.

I have 14 days of 4 Protein drinks or bars and I can have one small meal a day, I have to keep it at 1200 calories a day, high Protein and low carb. They gave me a schedule of what time to have my drinks/bars & meal each day.

Hi Nina, I have the same date as you! I admit I have the jitters, but I am pretty well prepared emotionally. I went through some therapy to help me make sure I was ready.

Well, Guys,

The count down is for real, now. Though I am extremely excited, I am starting to get very nervous. I still have not submitted my FMLA papers. How is everyone else feeling? I am having a revision for lap band to sleeve.
