My Dr told me I could take ANY kind of multi vitamin, that it didn’t have to be bariatric specific. Does that sound right to anyone else? Also, I use a B12 nasal spray (prescription) once a week. It’s awesome, no injection and no sublingual.

My surgery is in 4 hours today too. Can’t sleep, so decided to get up and read and pray. Nervous, excited, anxious, sooooo many different emotions right now.

I’m the 16th with sleeve. How you doing on the pre-surgery liquid diet?

My surgery just got moved up to the 16th. I’m so excited! Thank goodness I started the liquid diet early. Whew!

I’m the same mindset, but I remind myself -and you- that there’s a reason I haven’t been able to do it before. This is a tool to help me / us make it work. Sending prayers your way. My surgery is 8/23.

Same diet here but no shakes and no caffeine. ALL clear SF liquid here. I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I don’t mind SF jello.

Same here. I keep telling my husband if I just stay on a liquid diet I don’t need the surgery, right? Lol. But I’m doing it. I should have done it 10 years ago. I’m not spending another year in the miserable state I’m in now.

Thank goodness no! Lol

Hello! My surgery date is 8/23. I’ve already started my liquid diet. My surgeon is pretty strict on the pre-op diet. I’m ok with it because I understand that the more I stick to it, the smaller my liver will be which means easier surgery and less risks. I’m self pay but my primary doctor made me jump through a ton of tests before signing off for the surgery. Thank goodness insurance paid for those tests. I’m staying between 300-500 calories so far. Luckily I’m not even hungry. I’m more concerned about feeling tired and the headaches. Ugh! I’m staying off of caffeine too. Which isn’t helping the headaches of course. I’m amazed as I read labels really good now how much carbs, sugar, and caffeine are in stuff. It’s crazy. I’m excited and nervous about the surgery and my ability to stick to the diet. So far I’m doing pretty good. On day 4 right now.
