Hi. My surgery 4/20 and was also with Dr. Nicholson. I live in the n. Garland area and would love some local support. I'm new to the area so all my family and friends live about 5 hours away.

10 months out, and I have a Premier Protein chocolate shake every single morning. It jump starts my day with 30 grams of Protein, one-third of the way to my daily goal. "And it's so tasty too!" (Just like Vitameatavegamin, for those of you old enough to remember THAT one!)

Thanks so much @@proudgrammy

people often post their happiness/success
seems these posts sometimes get lost in the shuffle
its more memorable to remember the bad things that might happen PO
so...............

you are now on the road to a healthier, happier, longer life
who deserves it more?

Got sleeved yesterday and all is good so far. No nausea just a little gas pain. I'm keeping Water and Protein down. So far so good.

Good luck with the surgery. The beginning of your new life.

I will pray for you. I am the day after you so you can return the favor to me!

Good Luck. see you on the other side!!!

@@mysleeve ok so I pray for you!! Just remember that everyday after surgery gets better day to day. If you are like most you will wonder what the hell you did to yourself but it will pass with the coming days! Make sure you ask for your pain Meds ahead of time! Have someone pound on your upper back and that will help with the gas pains! You will do great! Good luck! P.s. Listen to your doctor

Getting sleeved tomorrow. I'm a little nervous but I am ready. Say a prayer for me please. Thanks

@@mysleeve, you can do this! The reason I explained the reason for the preop diet was because that is what helped me maintain it. Knowing that it wasn't just about staying on a plan to lose a pound, but, would really make a difference. Do your best, and, if you are worried, just let your doctor know. Chances are it will be fine.
Good luck!

you got this. keep trying. admitting your slip ups is a start. are they little slip ups or a massive binge of fried processed foods kind? few more days to go until you start the next chapter. good luck. stay strong.

Good luck!

Jamielogical it wasnt done purposely. I just messed up a few times. I'm really trying.

dont feel bad i messed up a few times too make up for it with alot of liquid

It could cause your surgeon to postpone your surgery if your liver is still fatty. Our head hunger is a difficult battle and you'll still have to face that battle post-op also. The pre-op diet is very important on many levels, so try and stay on track.
Good luck!

Well, here's the thing. It's not really about whether the doctor finds out. It's about avoiding liver damage and other complications during surgery. The preop diet is done in order to shrink the size of your liver. Some surgeons are more experienced, skillful, or cautious and therefore some are more strict than others about this.
Do yourself the favor of maintaining your preop diet as closely as possible so that your surgery can go as smoothly as possible. Dealing with surgical complications will be much harder than foregoing the cheating during preop.
Good luck!

I'm very interested in what comments people leave here ???? I don't wanna mess up my chances either. I'm not given any amount to lose beforehand so what's the big deal!?

Thanks Blue sky.

I did well most days but a few I messed up. I guess its too late to worry about it now.

How are they gonna know you cheated? It's not like they took pictures of our livers to begin with right? If it was that big of a deal you'd think they would do an ultrasound or something like it to image it right? I have to do two weeks and I'm scared I'm gonna fail too ????

Surgery Tuesday and I have cheated a few times. Do u think this will kill my chances for surgery?

Unless you have a kidney disorder or similar that is going to keep you from excreting the excess B12, you'll be fine - B12 (like C & like the other B vitamins) is Water soluble so it's not going to do you any harm if you get extra. My sublingual B12s are about 500% of the RDA, and my Vitamin C is about 1000% of the RDA. worst it's going to do is turn your pee yellow.
