My surgeon has me on 2 protein (premier protein) shakes a day. No caffeine, no carbonated beverages, v8 is okay if 1 a day. 1 SMALL meal with 4oz. Lean protein and a vegetable each day. Timing of the meal is up to me, but I find lunch to work the best. Been on this preop diet since Nov. 6th and have lost 12 pounds. Surgery is on Monday!![emoji2] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using BariatricPal mobile app

Wow! You are one busy lady. Try not to stress on slow weight loss. Unfortunately, it is part of growing older Keep plugging away. It will come off. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using BariatricPal mobile app

34 lbs. !! Outstanding. Maybe small goals for walking? I am doing 1/2 mile walk 3 days a week, with a goal of doing it 5 days. Then will increase the distance; go back to 3 days. Rinse and repeat. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic. Keep up the good (If hard) work!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using BariatricPal mobile app

I so know the struggle. I am starting week 2 of the pre-op, and all i want is fried food. Doc said that is normal, have a small bit and get back on the wagon. I am a little over 200 lbs, and doing this for metabolic needs. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi Danny Paul: I am 58 and scheduled for surgery on 11/20/17. Very nervous as I am doing it to get a handle on my type II diabetes and co-morbidities. I too am not looking for significant weight loss, however am looking to build lean muscle. Any suggestions to help with the nervousness?

I have chosen to have the sleeve done to address my out of control blood sugar levels, and the associated co-morbidities. Has anyone else made this decision? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgeon recommended upping my fluid intake when the going gets tough. I am on day one of the pre op diet. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using BariatricPal mobile app
