Hi everyone! June 12th sleever here. I'm going through Kaiser Richmond. Have been on 1200 calorie high protein, low fat, low carb diet for 2 months now. Have already lost 20 pounds pre-op. During this time, I have also completely cut out wheat and all sugars. What a difference! I think I might have had some sort of resistance/allergy to wheat. Once I completely cut it out, the pounds started to melt off. On our plan, we fortunately don't have to do liquid/protein shake diet pre-op. Going to Disneyland for 4 days prior to surgery...no time to get nervous or anxious about surgery, I'll be too busy having fun! Good luck to all of you!

Our plan is way different (Kaiser NorCal). They are anti-shake. So, we continue to follow the 1200 pre-op diet we've been on since starting the program, up until 6pm the night before surgery. Now, even though they are anti-shake, I admit, I have about 1 a day, since I am always busy around lunch time and forget to eat. The best tasting shakes I've found are the Premier Protein Shakes at Costco/Sams. The chocolate ones are like drinking chocolate pudding (not as thick, but the taste is similar.) They have 160 calories each, but a whopping 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar.

I am, I am Only two more weeks of the "old" me...looking forward to the new and improved sleeved me. They say waiting can be the hardest part...it is, so we're going to Disneyland at the end of next week. I'll have no time to get anxious or nervous about the surgery, because there will be no time to think about it!

I'm another June 12th sleeve =)
