CelesteMarie 129 Posted May 12, 2016 I wasn't forced to do a preop diet but I prepared for the surgery for a while so I practiced things. I gave up soda and caffeine before the surgery so I wouldn't get headache withdrawals. I also practiced not eating for emotional reasons, which was hard.

the sleeved plastic surgeon 23 Posted May 13, 2016 My surgery date is May 9th this coming Monday. I would love to keep in touch with people who are getting sleeves around the same time as well. I am currently in the 2nd week of my Doctor's required Liver shrink liquid diet. Can you say hard? How are you doing so far? Did you have any pre-op requirements? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using the BariatricPal App I was sleeved on the 8th of may, didn't hv any preop preparations I'm struggling through the Fluid diet now Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

readyforachange84 10 Posted May 13, 2016 Is there a way we can create a group of the may sleevers to compare notes?? It would be great for us all to keep in contact! Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
readyforachange84 10 Posted May 13, 2016 Because I am not sure that I am disciplined enough to eat sensibly afterwards. Not sure I can cope without my comfort foods. Worried about excess skin. Angry that I can't just diet to lose weight like "normal" people. etc, etc Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App What did you decide? I was sleeved on the 5th and I have had my rough days however I am down 20 lbs, off diabetes and blood pressure meds! I go to a local support group once a week and I also talk on here. I may eventually add in some therapy but that is just to take her of me mentally after already choosing to take care of myself physically. Its not going to be easy but after 8 days I am feeling better and lookomg forward to the future. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlexJGee 3 Posted May 13, 2016 My surgery is May 10th and I would really like to keep in touch with other people getting sleeved in may and be able to share our journeys. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App I had mine may 2nd woo! No regrets. I was insanely scared and having horrible anxiety but I had been putting my surgery off for a year so finally just did it and I am so happy I did. I've already lost 14 pounds. Would love to hear how you did! Good vibes your way. Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suga Renique Reborn 115 Posted May 13, 2016 This is my last weekend before I begin pre-op diet (only for 3 days before my sleeve surgery, which will be 5/24). I don't want to go overboard, but I will be drinking vino and coffee this weekend, two of my favorite beverages. I know that once I'm sleeved, those will be no-nos, at least for the 1st several months. I am not looking forward to the headaches that will come from caffeine withdrawal and the liquid pre-op fast, but since I'm come this far on my journey....ONWARD AND UPWARD!
