Is everyone getting ready? How about those that are already done? I've got all of my grocery (well, Soup shopping) done and I'm completely stocked up on tons of different Protein Drinks and Isopure as well. I so ready to get the surgery done and over with. The thought of surgery freaks me out just a little bit but not enough to stop me :)

I'm with you Pink_140! I have a few errands to run tomorrow (post-op Rx to pick up, some Clear Liquids stuff to buy from Target) and then I'm heading for the surgeon Monday morning at 7:15am!! By noon on Monday I should be sleeved!! I'm at the point I just want it done so I can get through the first two weeks post-op!

Good luck to you both! I'm on my preop diet right now, and I still have a few odds and ends to pick up. Otherwise, Thursday can't get here fast enough.

I am in pre-op diet hell. This is day three and I am so friggin HUNGRY! I resisted when the rest of the family had pizzarria pizza and bread for dinner. We even had company and I just drank my shake. I was proud of my willpower. But now I am so hungry. I don't know how I can do this until the 18th.

Em, are you getting enough Protein? I am in Pre op hell to as I'm sleeved om the 17th but I'm not feeling hungry. I can only attribute this to getting in 70 grams of Protein a day. I'm sorry you are miserable and hope this helps some. I just keep counting Dow just 1 day at a time and it will be worth it. Good luck!

My Doc has me doing 4-5 Slim Fast 3-2-1 shakes per day....I have eaten Soup the last two days instead of one of the shakes. There are only 10 grams of Protein in each shake. I was wondering if I am getting enough. Boo..the nurse said that I can have a broth soup in the evening if I am really hungry. But she said really nothing besides sugar free drinks and the shakes.

You could ask her if you could try upping the Protein and see if that works. This is hard enough without feeling starved

It's 11:26pm, and my pre-op liquid diet starts tomorrow.... of the mass of "food funeral" food I bought, I still have two frozen pizzas left... debating staying up all night just so the food doesn't go to waste tongue.png

Monday is so soon!! You are so lucky! I don't fly out until Thursday and then Friday is surgery! I wish it was sooner. I'm curious to see how it is for you. Post as soon as possible to let us all know. I'm ready to begin the post-op process. I thought for sure that the concept of a food funeral was complete BS and I was so wrong! I'm glad I don't have any type of pre-op diet... That would be a tough one for me. Good luck to all of you and just think soon we will all be on the road to recovery! We are going to rock our sleeves!!

I am scheduled for band to sleeve revision on Jan. 23! I start my liquid diet (Barissentials) on Monday :( Not looking forward to that, but 2 weeks is minor in the grand scheme!! Sending blessings to all of us January sleevers and am glad there are so many of us to support each other!

I'm starting my liquid diet today... it's 1:30 and I have had 67 grams of Protein so far. This feels like a good start and it's definitely keeping me full (for now).

I do, however, think I may take a nap. ;)

Good luck, everyone!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
