I just started my 2 week liquid diet today!

My surgery is Nov 19th. When is your surgery?

My surgery is in San Jose with Dr. RICHARD NGUYEN and the hospital is Good Samaritan Hospital

I was just wondering if anyone has had the sleeve that has been over 400 pounds. I am wondering if there are extra complications to worry about and how much weight is likely to be lost

My 2 week diet started today. I can have protein shakes, sugar free liquids, broth, 2 cups of diluted juice, and 1 cup of fat free milk. It says I can have oatmeal and cream of wheat but those are big no no's to a celiac. Ohhh I almost made a Big mistake this morning one of the protein powders I bought contains wheat! It is the same brand as all my other powders and looks just like my other powders just a different flavor! I didn't even think about reading the lable in the store but I always read before I consume. That could have been disastrous. Another thing I am noticing is a lot of soups have wheat, and even some of the sugar free Popsicles they said I can have are out because they either contain wheat or malt.

Thank you for posting from your bed. I love all the info I have gained in the very short time since I have joined (first day).

Good luck!! I can't wait to hear how it goes.

@"Becca R." Hello Becca, very nice to meet you. I would love to stay in touch with you since our surgery dates are so close and we both are celiacs. I almost feel we have an advantage because of celiac. We have already had to permanently give up cookies, cakes, bread, and pasta and we are not crazy enough to cheat because for us cheating doesn't mean just gaining weight it also means suffering horrible allergic reactions. Becca are you doing the 2 week liquid diet?

Just wondering if anyone else has celiac disease and is having, or has had the gastric sleeve. My surgery date is Nov. 19th and I am just curious to hear other people experiences

Please add me if you make a group. My surgery date is Nov 19th

I am scheduled for Nov 19th. Nice to see so many people scheduled on this date or close to it!

My surgery date is Nov 19th! I will be starting my 2 week liquid diet on Wednesday
