Hello everyone! I'm 32, 2 kiddos, military spouse, and will be sleeved on October 3. I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow and I'm super excited, but super nervous at the same time. Hubby doesn't want me to get this done, but still stands by me (I'm blessed to have such an awesome guy). My surgeon is Dr. Harnisch at BAMC at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. I'm ready to commit to this 2 week pre-op diet without hurting anyone. I hope to hear about everyones success stories as hopefully my future posts will be successful as well. Good luck everyone.

Awesome! Welcome! We're sleeve-twins. I'm the 15th as well, but with Dr Heider at Lake Norman. I'll be recovering close to you - in Belmont!

I drove past Rock Hill last week on my way to/from Charleston for a 5-day cruise on Carnival's Fantasy. Didn't realize there was a Groucho's in RH until I started looking for one to stop at for lunch (ended up stopping at the one in Blythewood). Got so excited there was one is one in RH & thought I could go with Dad next time I was in Belmont - until I realized I don't have any time left before my surgery. 2 weeks of Optifast starts Sept 30 & I won't be back in CLT before then!! (anyway, sorry to ramble. Welcome!)

Good luck to all !!

Day 3 of Pre-Op Diet and down almost 6lbs!

Welcome to all the new October Sleevers!!!

I am stuck at 266! I have a week to drop

Another 6 lbs..how do I do it guys? I'm on my pre

Op still, protein shakes only and water. I'm staying within 700-900 calories a day

Day 3 of Pre-Op Diet and down almost 6lbs!

Welcome to all the new October Sleevers!!!

Same here !!!

@skinnyminnie2be try increasing your water consumption also if you're working out with weights this will cause you to gain muscle weight.... I would stick to walking for exercise until after surgery

My NUT told me not to work out during this time. I am not sure how many calories I am getting. I have 2 cups of soup liquid after being cooked, blendedn and strained for lunch and dinner. I have two glucerna's a day and juice all natural squeezed twice a day. The rest is liquids, I drink water. I am allowed 1 yogurt or ice cream low fat or sugar free.

Hi everyone!

I'm new here. I just got my surgery date on Monday and I'm having my sleeve done October 10th. I'm 25, married, no kids (none planned) and I'm very excited to begin this journey but also extremely nervous. My mom just had gastric bypass 2 1/2 months ago and so we're sort of going through this journey together. I'm 250 right now and hope to lose 110-120 pounds. I only have to do one day of liquid diet and they'd like me to lose 5-10 pounds before the surgery date. Good luck everyone!
