I’ve been getting super light headed also! I’ve been drinking Fluid constantly so I have no idea what is going on. I have my first pre op appointment Wednesday so hopefully the surgeon can enlighten me

Ok let me know if you find anything out and I’ll do the same!

Surgery day February 13th as of a few min ago I’m down 37 lbs so far Protein and this terrible taste in my mouth were my only issues until yesterday when I started getting light headed when I stood up every so often luckily no pain meds since leaving hospital and sugar free popsicles are my bff...good luck everyone

1 week post op today and I’m down from hw-378 sw 363 1 week post op 345lbs I’m struggling with Protein and Water but I’m going shopping tomorrow to find something else...good luck everyone hope all is going well

Scheduled for 2/19! For those of you who had surgery this month, how are you feeling now? I am supposed to chaperone a field trip 2 weeks after surgery and I want to make sure it's feasible for me to sit on a bus with 60 2nd graders for 2 hours. [emoji23]

Hi, Big Barl. How are things going for you in the first day after surgery?

Good luck, Big Bari! I'm on day three. NOT easy, for sure, as you try to come up with a variety of things to take but the variety doesn't last long. I am up to 4 to 6 Protein Shakes a day and strained Progresso Soup. They are my go-tos. I was also told I should have at least 700 calories a day---but not sure how to find them as the liquid options are not rich in calories. Please share your ideas!

I’ll tell you if I can come up with anything gonna try and work on it tonight

liquid diet starts tomorrow...wish me luck. I ate a big juicy steak last night as a farewell fat boy meal lol

Birmingham, Alabama Dr Miles will perform my surgery February 13th

It's FEBRUARY today. It's our month! I've been trying to map everyone's surgery dates but lost track. I know two of you share my surgery date on February 13. For those of you on your pre-op diet, hang in there! I start all clears on Sunday. I spent an hour walking through the aisles of Wegman's (a local grocery store) today looking for interesting things to have at home. My cart was full on very boring items! I am trying a variety of flavored waters, Mio drops, Crystal Light Energy (for must-have caffeine), Jell-O, and Protein Shakes. My nutritionist said I could strain regular Soups (ex: Progresso) so I'll do that since I'll be saving the Unjury chicken broth until after surgery. Who's up first for surgery this month?

I am on the 13th too. woohoo .I'm going to the grocery store today to prepare myself I start liquids on the 6th.

How is everyone preparing? Do you already have your Vitamins purchased? I go to a preop diet meeting that is 1 week before surgery so I won't have a lot of time to get what I need. I know I will not be required to do any preop diet so I am just worried about the after surgery stuff.

Hi I’m on my b1 and B12 Vitamins now and I start my preop diet February 6th...I’m kinda dreading it but excited to start the journey...my surgery date is February 13th not sure when I’ll get my other vitamins

My nutritionist said that it’s a normal sign of being full

Hope it went well guys my date is February 13th

My surgery is February 13th and I took off for 12 days and plan on going back on a Wednesday like earlier suggested. I work in Police/fire dispatch so not necessarily a desk job but not really physically taxing either...good luck!

6 months will flyby I feel like I just started my 6 months and they’re already over and I’m having my surgery on February 13th...good luck to you
