Noon tomorrow. Wow it goes by so fast!

I worried about excessive skin (and hairloss) excessively before I had surgery. All I can say is, I would take my excess skin any day over weighing 373 lbs again. ANY DAY! In retrospect, I can't even believe I used to worry about that - life is SO MUCH better being normal weight, loose skin or not!

That sounds way better than 2 weeks! I hope all goes well!! I bet you’re so excited!

I am! I’ve been jumping through hoops, and now it’s here!

I did liquids for a week, then Clear Liquids two days before. I’m surprised I’ve done such a good job! The liquid diet with Protein Shakes was ok. It really made me realize that a lot of hunger was in my head.

Thanks so much for replying!! That’s exactly what I have to do! Hopefully this 6 months flies!!!

The six months were fine! It’s the two days on a liquid diet that are killing me! Haha! Going in on the 28th. Good luck to you! Let me know how it goes!

Ok, I’ve been thinking about getting a Tesco, but the monthly Vitamin disks are $40 each! Do you think it’s worth it? Let me know, please. I’m very interested.

New here. Been reading these boards for the last few weeks, my first time posting. I am scheduled for surgery at 8:30 am tomorrow morning, 12/27. Getting nervous! Excited for what this means for my life, mostly nervous about having actual surgery and complications. But it’s taken me two years to get to this point and there is no turning back now. Sit have to have faith that everything is going to be fine.

Hey all, what cool gifts did you get for Christmas to help with your post-surgery life?
I got a 30 oz Yeti, blue tooth ear buds, and a blue tooth scale. I also got some cashola -- I think I'll buy Tespo with it.

3 days away here! My liquid diet it's brutal too. Slowly but surely getting my house put together. Thank God, my mom is coming to take care of me.

Two for me. Once I got used to the Protein Shakes, I have to start on clear liquids! Ugh! I’m dying down here. I picked up a Isopure clear Protein Drink at GNC. It’s so gross, but it has Protein. Maybe I’ll get another one. My tummy is growling. 😫 I’m at my mom’s house, so she can take care of me, too!

I get the same thing. I want to day, “it’s none of your d*** business,” but I usually just smile and say that I just decided to. Even though I’ve been working on it for three years!

I go in tomorrow morning super early. Of course I can't sleep tonight. So nervous. Good luck to everyone!

You’ll do great! Prayers for you!

I'm two days away. Definitely getting nervous. Definitely have NOT gotten my physical space (bedroom) ready for post surgery. (Yes, I'm terribly messy and a procrastinator. All my clothes are everywhere!)
I am in good shape as far as food (puree options) and meds (etc.) post surgery. Tonight and tomorrow I'm busting butt to make my room enough of a nest that I can relax comfortably for a few days.
I'm getting a little bit nervous, but not tons. My only pre-op diet is tomorrow, which is good and bad. But any way I look at it, I'm all in!

Congrats MissSimpson will definitely pray everything comes out ok.

I teach 4th grade, and there’s always food around. chips, candy, you name it. And I LOVE food. If I can stick to the pre-op liquid diet, anybody can. I’d punch somebody for a taco today, but I know one day, I’ll get to have another delicious taco! Looking forward to it!

You sound like me! Lol! I’m on day 5 of my liquid diet. Down 10 lbs. I have cheated a couple of times. I ate some almonds one day. Swapped two shakes for some Tomato Soup. Had a cucumber and some cheese. I start clear liquid tomorrow for my sleeve on Dec. 28, so please pray for me! Good luck to you, and Merry Christmas!

I got some V8 for when I’m tired of sweet drinks. Any other suggestions besides broth?

I’m the 28th too, Twins! I had to do lean meats and veggies last week. Started liquid diet Saturday. I’ve done pretty good at with the hunger craving. I get tired of the sweet shakes, so sometimes I’ll have a V8 instead. I’m cheating right now by eating some cucumbers. I just need the crunch! (They’re 95% Water, right?) 🤦🏼‍♀️

I saw that at the grocery store, but didn’t get it. I got some low sodium chicken broth, and some high Protein legume and veggie broth. The legume and veggie broth was GROSS! The V8 has saved me. I can warm it up and pretend it’s soup! Merry Christmas.

I’m only on day three of liquid diet. I’m chewing A LOT of sugar free gum. Good luck to you! Very hard during the holidays. I chose not to go to my family gathering bc of all the temptations.

I’m a state employee and have BCBS of Mississippi. They’re probably pretty similar. I had to be on a doctor supervised diet (with monthly weigh ins) for 6 months, see a nutritionist and a psychiatrist. Make sure you go see the dr. EVERY MONTH! I missed one month by a few days and had to start all over.

I’ve been drinking low sodium V8 when I get tired of the sweet drinks. I drink flavored waters, light Powerade, diluted juice, and SO MUCH WATER! My surgery is on the 28th. It’s hard during the holidays, but at least I can start my year off right! Good luck!

I’m sorry your friend isn’t making it easy for you. I’m lucky to have friends who are very supportive, telling me how awful the pre-op diet is and how hard it must be to stay away from food. However, they do talk about going out to eat in front of me. I do wish I could go, but I don’t expect them to do without. Just like Dave said - this is my choice, not theirs. I’m on day 3 of my liquid diet, and I’d kill for some tacos! But I’ll get to eat them again. This liquid thing isn’t going to last forever! Good luck!

I’ve chewed a lot of sugar free gum. Ate a couple handfuls of almonds and some green Beans. This is technically cheating, since I’m on a liquid diet. This is my 2nd day.

I’m three days down on the high Protein, low carb diet. Four to go, then liquids. After that 2 days of clear liquid. Surgery Dec. 28. No Christmas dinner for me!
