I am scheduled for November 15. Went to the doctor today for pre op work up. It is becoming real and a little scary.

I tried a bunch of differant powders but the one I liked best was the Unjury because it tasted pretty good and it contains the whey protien isolate that my Doctor's office says is better protien (and I don't want to lose my hair) I also got the vanilla flavor because someone said you could mix in Crystal light orange and it would taste like the popcycle - they were right so i"m going to try it with other CL flavors.
Also I found Silk unsweetened almond miik and added to the Choc Unjury and that was good to and it saved a ton of carbs (my liver will thank me during surgery)
Also they recommend Powerade Zero because it has all the electrolights and fewer carbs that Gatorade. It is also a good choice for when you are on Clear Liquids.< /p>
I'm Nov 6th and have been on the protien shakes since last Tues. I go to clear liquids on Monday. FREAKING OUT already but looking forward to a new and healthy ME.
Good luck to all that are going before me - let us know how ir goes

Pre-op visit with surgeon today, then surgery on 11/4.
Not nervous (yet!?!?!) but excited to be past it. I have faith in my surgical team, they are the best in the area, deal with high risk surgeries (me) all the time and I know all will be well.
Good luck to all of us in November!!!

Starting my pre-op diet tomorrow! 2 more weeks and then I'll be sleeved. My sister had hers done last week and her recovery has been going very well! Keeping my fingers crossed that mine is the same.
