I go Wed the 17th. Trying to get the house cleaned and everything in order so I don't have to worry about it when I come home.

I like the atkins advantage milk chocolate and the caramel cafe (coffee flavor). I don't like their vanilla but can tolerate it...the strawberry taste horrid to me.

I'm on day 10 of my 14 day liquid Pre-op. You can do it!

Not stupid at all. In fact, I am adding it to my list of things I want to experience. I too was never carried over the threshold.

I'm the 17th in Southeast Missouri. I can't wait!

Yep! Southern IL has some beautiful trails.

I plan to ride my horses again and take my son trail riding. He is 12 and I have never taken him trail riding because my weight has limited me.

I am on day 8 of my 14 day clear liquid and protein drink only diet (60g protein and 800calories a day). I have dropped 20 pounds in the last 8 days. I am curious what I will have lost all total on this Pre-op diet. My surgery is July 17.

July 17 is my surgery date. Yesterday was a rough day on the liquid diet. This morning I have placed goals on myself to get my protein in.

It went really well. He was able to put me at ease over what the pain levels might be like. How did you do on the 14 day liquid Pre-op diet? I am at day 7 now and choking down the protein drinks is horrid right now.

Congrats!

I am now pre registered for my surgery, have my Pre-op blood work done and met with my surgeon and he answered all my questions and fears. July 17 @ 9:30am.

Oops

I really like him. He actually takes the time and discusses all your questions and concerns. I am on my way to his office now and have all my questions ready.

I am on day 6 of my 2 week liquids. I am having a hard time drinking the protein drinks right now. My hunger pains are not as high as days1-3. I am literally forcing myself to get the 60 grams of protein drink in and reach the 800 calorie intake he wants during this time frame. I do get the 64 ounces of water in with no problem. I see my surgeon today so hoping he can get me back on track with this liquid Pre-op diet.

Yes, I am. I go today to see Dr. LeGrand and discuss my surgery on the 17th. Nervous but excited!

Thanks. Right now I am taking it step by step. My husband is being very supportive.

Thanks for the welcome.

On July 17th I start my new journey. Besides the sleeve the are going to fix a hiatal hernia and remove my gall bladder. I am both nervous and excited. I am currently on day 5 of my 14 day pre-op liquid diet. I go tomorrow to talk again with my surgeon. I am glad I found this group as it seems very supportive. Paula

Dr. LeGrand is doing my surgery on July 17. I am currently on my two week liquid diet.

My surgery is July 17 and I started the Pre-op liquid diet on July 4. I meet with my surgeon again on July 9th I am excited and nervous.

I started my Pre-op diet on July 4. Talk about being miserable at a family gathering. My surgery is set for July 17.
