I'm having my surgery done on the 3rd & currently on a liquid diet as well. It's challenging indeed, even though my surgeon allows me to eat 800-1000 calories a day, I'm trying my hardest to stick to just liquids. I definitely made sure I had something to do every day, to keep me extra busy, until the 3rd...it's helping a lot! lmao

I'm currently doing my 2 week liquid diet, since I'm having surgery on Jan. 3rd but I thought I'd reply since I literally went to my pre-op class yesterday. During the class, two nurses went through everything, including the break down of each stage after, and they told us that protein and water is important (I'm sure you know). If you're drinking protein shakes or protein powder with any kind of milk...that's considered protein only, you still have to get in that water. If you're mixing protein powder with water, then that's when you're getting both! I hope this helped ????

I was approved on Monday & was scheduled for the Sleeve for January 3rd. I'm starting my pre-op liquid diet tomorrow ☺️

I completely understand what you're feeling! My last supervised diet month was November and I called my insurance December 9th and they didn't even see anything regarding bariatric surgery! On the 14th, I received a call from a RN, that works for my insurance, and was told that I was approved and my date was January 3rd. I say call your insurance or call the surgical coordinator at your surgeon's office.

I'm in Baltimore as well we all should keep in contact Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App What hospitals r u all going to I'm at Bayview Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App We should!

Ok I am wondering if that was you leaving while I was in the waiting area. My appointment was at 11. I was there around 10:40am today. Gray scarf on my head? Yeah, that was me. Did she give you samples of Protein shakes/powder and multivitamins? Ok so I did see you! what a coincidence! I did get the samples. I tried the Vitamins and it was actually kind of good.l I agree, I also like the chocolate Premier Protein she gave! Did she ask if you wanted to go to her nutrition class on Sept. 19th?

I'm sorry, I gotta get used to getting on here now lol What time did you go there? I went around 10. She's very informative and she talks to you like she's your friend! I like her. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
