March 12th, MONDAY! IT'S SO REAL NOW! IT'S SOOO EFFIN' REEAAAALLLLLL! *shrieks and runs off into the sunset*

Hey! Your big day is tomorrow! Good luck!

Thanks everyone, I bought the Isopure for now in orange and I may have to water that down as well but my surgery is March 12th, can't WAIT to get this show on the road! LOL.

Hi Has anyone tried the new Premier Protein Clear for 1st week post op? My sleeve is scheduled for March 12th and I hear that Isopure can be extra sweet sometimes.

yes I need to try the caramel. Anything to make this process a little more enjoyable! LOL.

Yes I saw those, I have Unjury chicken broth for after surgery but the Premier is for my Pre-op diet.

I just ordered a mixed box of Premier Protein, strawberry banana, vanilla and chocolate from Amazon. I hope it tastes good because it's going to be my breakfast for the next 3 weeks or so. I'm so excited to get this surgery and like you I Just want to get it done so I can lose weight and let my true flyness surface! LOL.

Sorry I haven't been on much but no, there was no weight gain issue, i just chickened out TWICE, now I'm bigger than ever so it's time to get sleeved!

Hey! Congrats on the new surgery date! I'm super nervous too but we've got this together. (jumping up and down and clapping)!

I cannot drop coffee! I did drop wine/alcohol but I'm on my way to get coffee now. I just can't give that up right now. I am ordering my bariatric vitamins this week, along with something to keep my hair from falling out. I drink water all day every day....you sound really focused. Happy for you. I am hoping to get OFF of the CPAP, i hate that thing and I've been on it for over 5 years. Pleased to meet you!

Hey there, I just had my nutrition counseling yesterday, it was very positive and eye opening. I logged in this morning to look at bari-ware which are the containers where you can pack smaller portions of food. I'm also looking for that really good Premier Protein drink that has bananas in it. I wasn't counting calories and gained back 4 pounds. I'm back in my meal replacement diet and full liquids 24 hours before surgery. I'm happy to meet someone that is having their surgery on the exact same day. YAY!

Hi kakatalady612 thank you for responding! I have not given up coffee but I have given up alcohol and sugary carbs and potato chips...pretty much most of the things that got me to this point. I just had a "Boost" protein drink for lunch. I hope you get your date soon, I feel like the only weirdo getting sleeved in March. I work for a University so I had to shoot for spring break to take two weeks off. I hope to lose a little weight before surgery as well, that would be nice. My husband takes all of that Omeprazole stuff, if he doesn't his stomach goes CRAZY. I hope to have us both eating much healthier after my surgery.

That is a long time for a liquid diet but I wish you the best. I think my liquid diet is 24-48 hours before surgery but even I am eyeballing that liquid Isopure like seriously? That is supposed to hold me? You can do this, mind over matter right?!

Hi Everybody, my surgery is scheduled from March 12th (after my 2nd cancellation) but no more of those, I am full speed ahead with WLS this time around. My question is, how are most of you doing with your pre-op diet? My doctor didn't really give me one except to eat balanced meals and replace 1 meal with a protein shake every day. I've started that this week. Does anyone else have any helpful hits for this surgery? Things that are working or not working for them? Lastly, anyone else scheduled for March 12th!?

I'm scheduled for Sleeve on March 12th, going to start prepping everything February 23rd - buying my stuff for the pre-op and liquid diet on that date and then staying on pre-op for 2 weeks before my surgery on March 12th.
