I'm on mine, it suck more the longer your on it. Willpower. Don't cheat.

Happy its going good for you. I just reached the point in my preop diet that i have to drink the special drink they provided and cut one of my snacks. I am struggling. Those of you on pure liquid preop are my new heros. 4 more days.

It took 6 years for someone to realize the severe egg intolerance we thought I had was in fact my gallbladder. The pain was the very worst. I wanted to die. Get that sucker checked and removed asap.

Good luck!!!! You got this, you trained hard for this!

I love the fruity pepples! But i buy the premixed shakes from alani. They meet my requirements but i feel guilty each time lol.

I have been reluctant to buy anything pre surgery, but i plan on stocking up for next winter and buying the better quality warmer things. I do have a comfy which is a giant blanket hoodie that is nice.

Congrats! I am having the sleeve on the 8th so I am in the super nervous phase. I am southeast of you, I live with the grumpy old men lol.

I am allowed 2 protein shakes, 2 small approved snacks, and a lean cuisine type dinner per day up to 5 days prior, then im cut to 1 snack.

Its 10/31 Hope the surgery is going well and you recover even better

11/28 is my birthday. Its a good day. My surgery is Nov. 8th. I am scared that even though i am following the prescribed diet, I must be doing it wrong and my liver wont shrink right.

How is everyone handling their preop diets? I think my surgeon/ dietician are a lot more lenient than I was expecting. I get 2 protein shakes, 2 small snacks from an approved list, and 1 frozen dinner that meets guidelines. Then, on the 3rd I start special protein drinks they provided and I lose a snack..... I am ok until people eat their normal food around me, then i die inside a little and get hungry ?. No cheating though.

Almost there!

Thats great! I had to have extra bloodwork done that was forgot so it happens. I'm sure insurance will approve.

Have you tried calling your insurance ?

I am having the sleeve on Nov. 8th. Started my pre-op diet today

Where are you going for your procedure?

Welcome and congrats. It took me the full month to hear back from insurance and it was torture. I am sure you will be fine.

You still around? I am having mine at Gunderson in La Crosse. I am getting the sleeve. How did it go for you?

I considered that because indidnt want to put extra burden on the family and kids as we start the holidays, but i am so close to my out of pocket maximim for insurance that it would be half the cost to have it now.

Me too!!!! I am getting the sleeve

Thanks guys. The wait for my insurance approval felt like it was forever. Happy to be ready to move on.

I was scheduled this morning for November 8th. Congrats on getting your date.
