Try not to stress over it too much. Tomorrow is my day also. I go in at 5am and I'm the 3rd patient on the list. i'm just glad that i've conquered the pre-op liquid diet. Let's get ready, get ready, get ready....!!!

I started my pre-op diet today gearing up for the sleeve on the 26th. My doctor has me drinking 4 of the BariEssential shakes. I was so relieved to add the PB2, because I was struggling with just the protein added to Almond Milk. It was too foamy for my liking.

Good question Mark.

That's awesome news! Good to hear you're doing well and making the necessary changes in your life. Keep us posted. I'm in day 2 of my 7 day pre-op diet..not too bad.

That's so exciting and encouraging

I know I can have decaffeinated tea, but I need to know if I can add sweetener?

Today is the day I start my pre-op. Excited to be here for a week and then getting sleeved on the 26th. Lots of liquid today...will try to keep busy so I don't think about food. Starting weight is 220.6 and BMI is 36.

Praying that you have a successful surgery and pain free recovery.

I'll be starting my pre-op diet tomorrow and have a quick question. Is it ok to eat "red" Sugar Free jello or are we to stay away from anything red in color?

Hi there, I'm starting my 1 week liquid diet tomorrow in preparation for surgery Tues of next week.

Hi all, I'm having my procedure on the 26th...a few weeks away ***wink*** I'm reading my workbook and I know we have to take Vitamins afterwards. I called Bariatric Advantage to order a sample pack. Right now they are sending sample packs for free. If you're interested, call 1-800-898-6888. Good luck!!

You are in my thoughts and prayers!

I'll be starting my pre-op liquid diet on the 19th in preparation for my surgery on the 26th. Can anyone tell me if juicing is ok?

I'm getting sleeved on the 26th of February by Dr. David Kim. How was your experience?

Mesquite...getting sleeved on the 26th..

Hi all, I'm getting sleeved on the 26th of February by Dr. David Kim at Baylor Hospital in Trophy Club. Has anyone had experiences with either the doctor or the location?

I'll be sleeved on the 26th of February too. Woohoo...let's do this!!

Excellent post! I am an African American who wears her hair in its natural state. I will have my procedure on the 26th of February by Dr. David Kim. I have found a lot of great information on this board and appreciate you approaching this topic. I look forward to reading more on a AA perspective. Good luck everyone!

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I will choose a date sometime in February after my cruise.

****jumping up and down waving excitedly shouting me, me, me****** I just received my approval over the phone, but my doctor has to get the approval in hand before scheduling my date. I also noticed that we share the same doctor. two_boysmom
