Topic: RE: Pre Op advice
 Holy Moly...15 surgeries on your day? He is a busy busy man. Yes, he came by once and checked my stomach and asked how I was doing, and told me to stay the night.  My overall experiance was really great. Eveyone was so nice and accomidating. I was really impressed actually. It's so good to know going into a major surgery that you are in such good hands.
I know girl I am soooooo sick on the liquid diet as well. I see so may people on here who are aloud to eat way sooner than what we are aloud. But doctors orders I guess we have to be good :(

 physically, a ton better. Just a bit tender at my port site. I'm still trying really hard to get all my protien in. I'm pretty sick of the shakes. I'm sure once I start to eat real food, the shakes won't suck as bad.

 But enough of my whining :)......How are you doing? 4 more days!!! Are you getting excited?

 I think this week has been harder than the preop. I think because I know I have 5 more weeks of this diet. But it's not forever... right:)

I'm moving around more though, I think once I feel 100% things will start to get better. 

I'm so excited for your sleeve. You're going to do great!

 The liquid diet is tough but ok. The protein shakes get tiring fast. But only a week left. Seems like there's lots to do. How are you feeling?  How's the first week been?!?

 How is your liquid diet going? I bet you are getting excited for surgery next week :)!
The hospital was such a great experiance, every single person I came into contact with there were so nice. They make sure you are as comfortable as possible. 
I hope you are doing well :)
