I am 9/26 as well, in Virginia.10 days to a new, fresh start!!! My surgeon does not have any special pre-op diet... I was thinking of doing liquids for a week anyway. Thoughts? Your pre-op diet? Any ideas on a non-nasty Protein powder for after?

Excited!!!

Hello! I am scheduled for the sleeve on 9/26 also. My surgeon requires a 2 week pre-op diet that consists of a Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch and then for supper you can have 4 to 6 ounces of lean meat with 2 servings of low carb veggies. The nurse suggested adding Protein Bars if you need a snack. I've lost 5 lbs just since Wednesday.

As far as Protein shakes, I've tried different brands of Protein both premade and powders and my favorite are unjury and Bariatric fusion. Unjury is cheaper between the two. I ordered samples of different brands to try before ordering whole bottles. I hope this helps!

Completely agree!! Even people who've had complications say they'd do it all over again. That's what keeps me going. :-) I'm looking forward to being healthy and living a better life.

Hi everyone! I'm also set for surgery on 9/26 in Tampa, Florida. I'm filing through my insurance so I've been working on jumping through all of the hoops since February. Part of me is super excited to get this started and part of me is scared to death. My BMI is 40 so I keep 2nd guessing myself by thinking maybe I should try one more time to do this on my own. Honestly though I've tried probably 100 times. I have PCOS so that makes it much harder.
