Keep up the good spirit. You will do fine.

But you are going to rock it after that [emoji109]

My surgeon was the same about liquid diet. She told me to make sure I get some carbs [emoji12]

Nico, I am sorry to hear about all the issues you are having. I am diabetic too and can understand how frustrating it can be when you are trying to do the right thing for your health and have obstacles. Please keep us posted and I will join the Facebook page. See you there.

Hey Sweet, my preop diet doesn't start till May 4th. I only have one week of low calorie and high protein diet and 1 day of liquid diet before surgery. My blood results came back. My potassium was lower but still little out of range. I am supposed to see my primary on Monday to see if he can put me on some meds to help control my levels. Right now I am just taking one day at a time. They will do my blood work right before surgery and if my levels are not in control they will postpone. I am hoping my primary will give me something to help. Thank you for thinking ok me [emoji4]. How are you doing on your journey?

I am May 11 too.

I have a one day liquid diet as well. I do have a low carb high protein diet for one week before surgery as a lover shrink diet.

Thank you! [emoji4]

Good luck for your surgery tomorrow. Let us know how it went.

How long is your pre op diet? Mine is only a week and that too high protein and low carbs.

Best wishes to all getting sleeved tomorrow. Keep us posted on your progress post op.

I have a pre op diet for a week but it's just protein shakes and low carb dinner. My liquid diet is only for a day before surgery.

We are all so close...

May 11th here too.

I went and gave my blood, now crossing my fingers for good results. I will know next week. Praying [emoji120]

Let's hope you and I go in together. I am going back for my blood work today to retest for potassium. Wish me luck.

Thank you! Pray for me, surgery aside having high potassium levels can be life threatening [emoji19].

I have been reading but really nothing you can do. I am going for a retest tomorrow at my endo's office. I am hoping it was just a mistake.

My surgeons office just called me and said that my potassium level came high in my blood work and if it stays high they will need to postpone my surgery. I have never been diagnosed with high potassium levels and they want me to go to my primary and recheck my levels. Anyone else went through this?

How are you feeling?

Good luck!

Good luck! [emoji106]

Just be careful with muscle milk. I have tried them in past and then discovered they have a lot of corn starch/carbs.

I used to drink premier protein shakes but I developed an allergy to them. I switched to Slim Fast Optima; it's the one with 25 grams of protein, almost no sugars and no carbs. I have been liking and tolerating it well.
