Thanks MSUJester. I have to admit the hardest part pre-op is still being hungry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I started the process late February. Luckily in the past I had tried medical weight loss which met my 6month supervised weight loss for my insurance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agree Shell! Where is your surgery? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sleeve. The stomach is reduced to a banana shape pouch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My surgeon said specifically that carbonation expands your pouch and makes it uncomfortable. Continuous use of these drinks will stretch your pouch. He said it. I believe it. Up to you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No carbonated drinks. Ever. Again. Caffeine yes, after 2 months Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Surgery on Tuesday. Last 2 days of pre-op liquid diet. Then 2 more weeks of hell: post-op liquid diet!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So far so good. 2 shakes today. 1 Protein bar. Thank God I only need 1 week of this! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can you take antibiotics??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use Zeal for pre-op but my doc requires some other brand post op. For me, the focus is whey Protein. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What kind of shake? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm told an overnight stay is expected. 2 nights max. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No problem. You need at least 3 weeks IMO. Just today I had blood drawn, a chest x Ray, and an ekg as part of the pre op process. Tomorrow I have the required endoscopy. I think most people need more than 2 days to get all that done haha. Then There's the 2 week liquid diet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your doc will submit a surgery date to your insurance for approval, along with your 6 month info. Mine was 3 weeks out from the date submitted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great idea xochtlem!!! Love some Pho! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Start mine in 2 weeks. I was told pre-op the liquid diet could include Protein bars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
