Starting my 2 week pre-op diet today!
Had a chocolate Protein Shake for Breakfast already.

I have no idea what it could be as I have not had surgery yet. I'm glad you have seen your doctor and it all checked out. And hopefully the nutritionist will help as well. My only suggestion would be that maybe you have developed a lactose intolerance and the milk based protien shakes are not agreeing with you. I've read that happening post-surgery. Go back to the basics with Clear liquids and see if that helps. By that time your nut appointment should be here.
Good luck!

I'm being sleeved on May 16th by Dr. Lutfi in Chicago. Any other May people out there?

I was told no coffee as the caffeine is an irritant to the stomach. Decaf is ok. I had been a serious, daily coffee drinker for years an the withdrawal was awful. I had a 5 day Migraine and ended up having to take one day off work because I felt so sick and weak. I have been off coffee for a month now and don't even miss it. I even bought a small latte this weekend and didn't finish it.
Plus all the calories And the money that I save makes it worth it!

I'm having mine done in Chicago on May 16th as well. Not nervous at all. Just anxious. I can't wait to get on the other side of this surgery! I'm headed to the Bahamas next week so that will help some of the time go by quickly. I would have had it sooner but didn't want to be on any diet restrictions while I'm vacationing. I need to be home first to get used to the changes on my eating habits. Best wishes to all the May sleevers! (-and everyone else too!)

I am having my surgery on May 16th at St. Joseph Hospital in Chicago. I am so excited. I will be celebrating two birthdays from here on!

Great into. Thanks!

At my heaviest, I wore a size 20. But I have always fluctuated between a 16-18. I realize I am not the largest person here but I have very similar goals and wishes.
I can't wait to not wear layers in the summer time, to be able to just wear a tank top and a skirt, to be able to get sexy underwear that matches, to not worry about being the biggest person at the gym, to not hide from pictures, to not walk past all the cute clothes and suits in the store for the dreaded "plus" or "women's" section, and to not feel invisible when I walk past a nice looking guy. I can't wait to have a doctors appointment and NOT have weight be an issue.
But most of all, I can not wait to go and buy that ever-elusive "little black dress" (which for now is not so little).
