Thanks for sharing! My BMI is about 38%, so I’m hoping for a similar smooth ride! I’m nervous but mostly filled with good nerves and anticipation. I’ll look into the juice plus supplements, and so happy to hear about being full after smaller portions, that’s definitely the goal :)

Hi Screwballski! I agree with the staying busy, my surgeon recommended not watching TV to avoid food commercials and I’ve unfollowed all recipe pages on social media, lol. Been reading a ton of books, that’s really helping me stay busy. Any advice for us nervous pre-ops? How was your experience?

Hi Luellajean! I’m an August 3 sleever in NYC. I’m on day 4 of pre-op diet and it’s been a STRUGGLE. I hate all of the protein shakes, but can moderately stand Premier Protein brand. I live for sugar free popsicles, broth and my coffee. I must be taking in less than 600 calories! Have already lost 8 lbs. it was really rough going for me first 2 days, like headaches, general not feeling well, but woke up on day 3 feeling pretty darn good. Have you started your pre-op?
