I know there is an October group here somewhere but I thought I would start this off by introducing ourselves!

I'm 25 years old and from British Columbia, Canada. My surgery is set for October 2. My pre op ensure shake diet starts September 2 but I have started a week early for a head start I am

A nurse by profession and engaged but no kids. With my history of PCOS kids will come after I drop the weight. Starting weight: 280lbs Current Weight: 275 and losing everyday!!

I survived the all liquid diet yesterday and I drank abotu 3 protein shakes yesterday giving me a total of 75g protein yesterday and probably tons of carbs from the white grape juice. I'm drinking the magnesium around lunch time and I pray my 12 month old will go down for a nap so that I can hang out in the bathroom lol. I'm getting nervous about tomorrow but I'm pretty confident that I will be fine. Praying I don't have a panic attack while walking to the surgery unit. My husband is being very supportive and he gets a week off from work. Today I had to turn in my urine so they could do the routine pregnancy test. I'm praying I'm the 1st surgery of the day tomorrow. Good Luck everyone

In the hospital admitting department waiting room for a 12:30pm surgery in Houston. Lost 47lbs as of this morning, 19lbs from the 2 week liquid diet. looking forward to the next chapter of my life!!

Good luck everyone !!!! Update us when you can ! My sleeve date is 10-9 can't wait to see all of our progress

Looks like we are going to have to start an Octosleevers Losers bench thread on the post op side so we can all stay together throughout this process ...

I'm out , ok , and walking. Feel very good. Minimal discomfort

You're not lyin'. I'm on day 2 of 14. Actually doing well & QUITE surprised I don't have a caffeine headache. Maybe there's just enough chocolate in the shakes & bars that my body isn't going into complete withdrawal.

I am actually missing my shakes. i am on clear liquids today and tomorrow

Just Do It!!!

U get to have bars? Wow, least u get to chew....must b nice chewing jello jus ain't the same. Lol!

I got bombarded with everything today from my visit, I will be on a clear liquid diet the day before and I gotta drink mirolax I thought I was getting it easy and instead of one night I'll be in there for two nights

I figured that might ruffle some feathers yes, I am glad to have something to chew. I'm on Optifast 800 & eat 5 meals a day. 3 have to be shakes but the other 2 can be bars. I am also allowed plain celery &/or plain cucumber slices if I need something else to chew. But I'll be in your same boat after the surgery...

OMGoodness! U fortunate lady you!!! I'd love a cucumber right now, although I'm not to fond of celery, I'll take it. I'm so jealous
