I live in MD and only had to do a 3 month which was what my insurance required.

Having SF Popsicles, jello, crystal lite is what I was told to eat/drink to get my fluids in. Nutritional value or not, I would be severely dehydrated without them.

I'll be leaving for the hospital in about an hour! After spending all last week with high anxiety about the surgery I feel strangely calm right now. All you sleevers that have already been sleeved...move over on that losers bench and make some room for me!!!!!

I actually live in Southern Maryland. Thanks for the well wishes!!!

Thank you!!!!!!!

Hi Jenn! I am both excited and nervous, but mostly ready for this to be over!! I really like Dr. Moazzez, too. He let me do a 1 week pre-op diet instead of the normal 2 week, because I can't stand the taste of the Protein shakes! Plus, he told me to get whatever kind I can drink, although this was after I paid for the stuff they make you buy at the office! Oh well. I'm just glad I am not having to drink it!! I hope you like it when it's your time to start. I will let you know how all goes once I get home! Thanks for thinking about me!! See you on the other side!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! November will be here before you know it!!!

Me too please

You should check out this blog. A TON of recipes!! http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com

I have tried the Premier and it was better than the stuff from the surgeons office. I might just drink those next week!

Hey that's a good idea with the banana! What flavor shake are you putting it in? I have Chocolate, Iced Latte and Vanilla.

I'm glad you are able to tolerate the shakes and stuff so well. I felt sick to my stomach all day yesterday because the shakes are just too sweet for me - and the soup UGH!! I choked down a shake this morning, but I also saw the surgeon today and I told him how bad yesterday was. He told me I could do just one week instead of two - so I got a reprieve! I'm going to have to try some other shakes next week or I'm not going to make it.

Best of luck to you!! Keep us posted on how you're doing!!!!

Are you with Bluepoint?

Mine is the same...Bariatric Advantage. I just tried the soup and ugh, it's going to be a very long 2 weeks!!!
