Have you met with your program dietician yet? Mine gave me a Protein goal based on my height 5'8. I'm supposed to be 65-75 grams per day. I'm on day 3 of my all liquid pre op diet as well.
My big day is the 22nd. I've found that both powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, and pure Protein are keeping me full. Isopure isn't keeping me full at all. I've been doing chicken broth for dinner tho and it's such a nice change.

Gas X strips! You will need them.

Wow!! Thank you all sooooo much. My surgery is schedufor October 16th 2013..I am sooooo excited to begin living again. I was worrieabout what I should take with me for a 2 ay hospital stay. Thank you all for your suggestions

Finally have everything completed. Insurance submission was done on Friday. Now just waiting for reply from insurance so I can schedule my surgical date. Cant wait to start living again!! Thank you to everyone on this site. This site is so wonderful and full of support.

My Sleevers Check-In I'm feeling great how bout y'all?

Supposedly eating things with red dye can be confused with blood so nothing with red before surgery. My husband coldnt comsume anything red either before he got sleeved a year ago..Thanks for the Soup info.

Hang in there!!! You can do it!!! I have to do 10 days:/ I was told to only do sf Jello, sf popsicles and chicken broth. but nothing can be red. You can have noodles?? Please keep us posted on your surgery. Im 2 tests away from submission and those will be completed this week. I cant wait. Im a little afraid of the gas pains everyone talks about

Had mine at barix in Michigan with Dr Pop. The nice thing about barix is that its all they do. You get an awesome book with recipes and a bunch of other great info, nutrition counseling, etc. They pretty much let me dictate the speed of the process. They also scheduled my surgery at a specific date that I needed because I had a small window to get it done, and they made it work

Congrats!!! Dr Marymore is great ! I had to take those test also its a breeze. Once he receives everything it's going take way less than 4-6 weeks! he received all my test results on a Monday I was scheduled for surgery on fri!!! So you will have your life back before you know it:)))))

I'm getting sleeved on September 25th at barix! Dr. Marymore. I heard really good things about barix and this Dr.

Just had surgery on Wednesday and have to be on a liquid diet for 4 more weeks. Can anyone recommend anything good to eat besides Protein Drinks and Soup. I love my Protein drinks. If anyone would like to know the name I would love to share the name of them with anyone.

My BMI was not 40 either. I had high cholesterol, diabetes (moderate to low numbers), sleep apnea and that was enough to qualify under Blue Cross Blue Shield Texas.

Soo I am very happy to report that today April 12 2013 at 130pm est I confirmed with my insurance company that I am ..... Approved! !!!!!!!

I had it done with a BMI of 37, HBP, hyperlipidemia. I think you will be able to get it done. I cant speak for everyone but i only 9 ponds from Goal at 5 months out. I had no complications other than heartburn.

I'm in New Jersey, and had a BMI of 36.9, and have sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and GERD. I think most surgeons will do it if your BMI is over 35, and you have at least 2 comorbities. It all depends if your insurance will cover it or not.
