Rima how are you doing? Any room on the bench for me lol

Three more days before first, two more days of preop diet and one day of liquid diet.... surgery 9/24

Sorry it has been awhile since I have popped in here. The Facebook group keeps me busy.

I am officially 15 days post op. On purees (2 more weeks to go) and overall doing great. Tummy is still a little bit tender but I figure that is par for the course. I am down 12lbs since surgery. I am doing a pretty decent job of hitting my Water and Protein intake, Eating all my Vitamins and itching to get back into the gym (Dr. said one more week and to ease into it).

Hope everyone is doing great!!

glad too hear that your doing great... I'll be on the bench soon

I've lost 10... but I was told not to gain any more from the weigh I had at the visit... so any lost is awesome.

4 days left on preop diet before my final day on pure liquid diet than surgery 9/24

Preop diet day 3 is over... preop appointment is Monday... I'm getting super excited

Preop diet day 1 complete, 13 more days. It was ok, but I'm hoping it gets easier...

Stay busy Sleevemetoo15 and drinks lots of Water or Crystal Light (no t.v. as it has too many food commercials unless you are watching movies)!!

going into day 4.... preop appointment is Monday and I'm excited. Its finally about to happen. I'm ready. The days have gotten better.

Monday, September 14th is my date, what is everyone bringing to the hospital with them or if you already was sleeved, what do you recommend I bring?

9/14, totally nervous and looking for buddies.

I'm the same day, congratulations, keep me updated

gasx, chap stick, puzzle book/pen, cell and charger, slippers, sports bra, long night shirt, deodorant, toothpaste/brush, and my bonnet... am I missing anything?

You two are lucky my preop diet is all clear liquid for 2 full weeks..no juice..no solids... No Tomato soup...broth and sugar free jell-o and popsicles it was torcher..and now surgery in 6 hours woo hoo

good luck...

To bjcarver,

I haven't cheated but it seems like my pre surgery diet is different. I have 3 to 4 Protein Shakes a day, then a Lean Cusine meal or that type 350 calories or less.

Today, the day before my surgery, I am really packing in the liquid. Then for dinner I am going to have a big fluffy salad with lots of green, cooked ground turkey and ricotta cheese. Some lite ranch or cesar dressing or lemon pepper sprinkle and I should be good.

Nothing after midnight, but I should be in bed by 9 or 10. So that will be my last of anything which will probably be lemon Water or perhaps some Jello.

I'm ready for tomorrow.

we have the same except, I have two Protein shakes... with my one smart one... I can have either sf Jello or sf popsicle. O and my 64 oz of water... preop diet starts Thursday and my surgery is 9/24

Ladies for you who had your procedure done at University of Chicago how long before you received the email with preoperative requirements

a few days after you complete your final requirement. 8/18 was my final requirement, emailed Angela on the 21st, chose a surgery date on the 26th, and received confirmation email with preop appointments on 9/1.

Im so happy 4 u! I just completed my sleep study this morning. All I have left on my to do list is a meeting with my pcp next week a ekg on the 24th and my last nut appointment on the 25th. Im hoping to get sleeved by my birthday also which is 10/22! Im also having my surgery at U of C by doctor Pratchand.

My prep session was 8/10... completed got pap results on 8/19... preop diet starts 9/14... surgery is 9/24, the day before my birthday... I'm so excited.. I've been waiting since 5/20...its about too happen.

Rima how are you feeling?

Preop diet starts 9/10....surgery 9/24, the day before my birthday.

Surgery date is September 24...

I'm so excited! Just got my date - Sept 8. It's exciting to see so many on this thread - gives me an extra sense of strength. I feel as though I have been waiting forever and suddenly one phone call from my surgeon's office and it is all so real so fast! BTW I'm from the Chicagoland area. Best wishes to all

I'm also from Chicago, there are two other ladies from Chicago... where are you having your surgery?

Isn't it wonderful how many of us have come together because of this? I feel a real close network building here. My daughter is 25 and sees how we have come together and thinks it's great too! Only thing that would make us complete is meeting in one place at the same time. Wouldn't that be a goal for next year?

That would be awesome!!!!

I'm from the Windy City....Chicago

Where's my bariatric family from ???!!!

also from Chicago
