Thanks for the well-wishes! Are you also from Louisville? I'm having surgery at Baptist East with Dr. Oldham.

How's the diet going? I finished mine yesterday and lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks. I was hoping for 25 but maybe I'll drop that today with the clear liquids only. I also drank the bariatric advantage vanilla and really enjoyed them. The last few days I was ready to have anything other than a shake but I think everyone goes through that! Today I would love to have one but I'm stuck with chicken broth and these awful protein shooters called New whey Protein. It is the most horrible taste on Earth and tastes nothing like fruit punch as described. I just continue to hold my nose and try to let it go down my throat without touching my tongue! Lol! Best of luck with the pre-op diet! I go in for surgery tomorrow but I'll check-in next week!

Scheduled for surgery Dec 2 at Baptist East. Send cheeseburgers. I kid, I kid.

I'm so excited I just packed my bag for the hospital Monday. Lol.

Any December Sleevers out there from the Louisville area? Getting so excited for Monday!!!

I'm two weeks in on the shakes and have only a few days left before surgery Dec 2. I'm doing the Bariatric Advantage shakes in vanilla and think they're really tasty! My favorite recipe is to add crushed ice, a sugar free chocolate pudding cup, 2 tbsp of PB2 and too it off with some skim milk. Blend it up and you have a yummy treat!!! If you haven't tried PB2, I HIGHLY recommend you check it out. It's pressed peanuts with most of the oils and fats removed. Add some Water and you have delicious Peanut Butter and it's only 45 calories for 2 tbsp!!! Good Luck! You can do it!!!

I remember being in high school and reading somewhere that being 5'8", my ideal weight is 140. So... That's where I got my goal weight from although I believe 175 is a more realistic goal. Either one would make me a happy gal!

Day 12 of the liquid diet. Headaches are gone and so is my appetite. Very strange how that happened. I'm taking in about 700 calories with the four shakes a day and call me crazy but I LOVE THEM!!! My program coordinator gave us a list of foods to add to the shake and my favorite is a cup of sugar free chocolate pudding and two tbsp of PB2. I promise you, you won't be disappointed!!! 6 days and counting!!!

Dec 2nd sleever here!! So excited! The pre-op diet is just now starting to bug me. If only I could have one last cheeseburger! Lol

Omg, I'm so glad to see someone else brought this up. I'm on day 8 of restricted diet, day four of liquid-only. Four bariatric advantage shakes a day and I can barely leave the bathroom. I'm embarrassed to say I had an accident while sleeping as well. Does this improve? Does anyone take a probiotic? I'm wondering if this would help my digestion. I took Imodium the first day but that did nothing. Help please! I'm about to go buy some adult diapers!!!
