I tried to get it scheduled during the summer but it just didn't work out that way. But I refuse to wait so I'm just gonna go for it! I'm glad you're doing well @ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow!! That makes me feel great. I got my surgery date and its Aug 22nd. I told my boss already that I would be taking 2 weeks off. He seems to be very supportive although he doesn't know what the surgery is for but I feel much better knowing that he knows and that potentially that will be enough time to feel well enough to work Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So it's bitter sweet. I got my date for surgery (Aug 22!!). I'm so excited but I am an assistant principal and that is right at the beginning of the school year. I'm feeling so guilty that I've had 2 months off and as soon as school starts I'm off for another week or more! I was really hoping for a summer date but it was just not in the cards for me. But I am excited!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all for responding. I have only told a handful of people closest to me and you all are saying the same thing. I'm coming to terms with just taking care of me. What did you do to help with fatigue? Were there any supplements that you found that worked well? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@AML32 Thanks for your help. My surgeon doesn't require one. It was something I researched on my own. Surgeon says high Protein low carb but no real guidelines. But I was nervous about doing just liquids after so I wanted to be more prepared than that. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I've been completely cleared for surgery and I'm just waiting on a date. I'm so antsy and I'm looking for something to do. So I've decided to get a jump start on a liquid pre op diet. Good or Bad idea? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks so much! I used them before in one of my many attempts to lose weight and they were tasty. But I guess I will try something else Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

They have about 24g of Protein and about 15g carbs about 5 from sugar Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Does anyone know if Herbalife shakes are acceptable for a post op source of Protein Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I haven't told anyone at work yet. I'm a little nervous because this is only my 2nd year at this school so I don't really have a work BFF yet. I have a mini fridge in my office too and I was thinking of keeping some pre made shakes, fruit juices and yogurt if I can have it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
