I know it comes and stalls but over all are people 6 and 9 months out happy with where they are? high 251 Sw 241 1wk 231 Sleeved 12/5

I am 12/4 as well. Ugh that is terrible you are in the afternoon. My surgery is at 830am... Nervous, excited, and just feels weird. Doesn't seem real!

I am sleeved Tuesday....getting anxious. I have been on Protein shakes and a sensible meal for almost three weeks. Never got any specific instructions about the day before other than don't eat or drink after midnight. I am thinking of doing all liquids and done people say Clear Liquids. I may call to or row but any thoughts?

I am dec 4 as well. I have been on 2 protein shakes a day and a small protein and veggie for dinner. I have lost 8 lbs but think I is probably bec I am not drinking coke, sweet tea or coffee. Isn't so bad so far. I have a class I am required to attend tomorrow to get more details about post-op,etc. ready to get this going! Good luck everyone!

Did anyone take sleep meds before surgery? Were you able to take them after surgery? I am nervous about being able to sleep bec I take something every night.

Hate to be one more person but can I get the booklet too. I am pre-op with surgery dec4. Thanks! meford99@hotmail.com

I am pre-op and have been Told to stay away from milk... I guess bec of the sugar, even in skim . I changed to unsweetened almond milk. Not bad at all. I was also told it is pointless to have more than 25g I protein per sitting bec your body can't absorb any more. I drink choc and chicken soup unjury and both are good. I am getting tired of the sweet flavor so would like to try syntrax. Do they have it for sale other than on-line?

I hope my dr doesn't tell me that. I don't want to come off of cymbalta or Wellbutrin extended release. I haven't heard that yet.

I am Elizabeth and I am Dec 4. Day 3 of pre-op diet. Not so bad but kinda hungry. I think I am Just focusing on it too much...what to eat and when. I am not on any vitamins yet. Any suggestions? I worry about hair loss. Ready to have surgery!

I am on day 3 of pre-op diet of 2 shakes and a reasonable healthy meal. I have cut out sugar but have still has 8oz of coffee or tea for the caffeine. I wanted to ease slowly away from caffeine. I this a huge deal. I plan on stopping on all caffeine at the latest two weeks prior. In my mind getting rid of sugar is the most important. Surgery is dec4. What about skim milk for the shakes? Is that a no too bec of the sugar. Just bought unsweetened almond milk to try. Everything just has a sugar free taste!!

Hi! I am new here and just got my date - dec 4! I was wondering how long people were out of work. I am planning on a week out but didn't know if that was unrealistic. I am 30 and work a low stress desk job.
