Everyone having surgery on 12.10.12, lets get together so we can discuss & compare our journey. I'm so excited. 2 more weeks!!! How are you all doing/feeling??

I am also on the 10th and I am getting nervous and anxious at the same time. I start my liquid 2 week diet, I have a bunch of appointments on Tuesday and a few more on the 4th. I wish a had a magic 8 ball that could tell me how i will look in about 1 year. I have to say that I am looking forward to looking sexy on my birthday in the summer!!! Right now I am about 250 and I am 5 ft 3- I pigged out for the past week so I may be more but I had to eat as much as I wanted to before my journey begins! To be honest , I would be happy around 180 but I am sure I will be smaller than that. I did the protein sparing diet last year and I went from 240 to 164 in about 6 months -that was a bit too small for me but I had a lot of energy and I felt good going to shop in normal stores.

Oh girl I hear you! I wish I had some psychic reassurance telling me everything is going to work out fine. I have only a 5 day liquid diet which is good!! Just bought all of my Vitamins and Soups and stuff for my liquid & post op diet. Here we go, right?

You can have soups preop?? I was stuck with shakes, crystal light packets, sugar free popsicles, water and something else. I have to double check with the nutritionist because I could have sworn it said mcnuggets were on there too lol

Lmao! Yeah I can have LF cream soups and potato Soup that's been puréed & strained. I think the difference is I am on a full liquid diet pre op- yours sounds like a clear liquid diet, or what we will be on for the first couple of days post op. but you should be able to have broth- it's yummier, and makes you feel more like your having real food compared to that stuff. Also- if you can have all of that you definitely can have SF Jello, it's basically gelatinized crystal light. Once it gets warm in your body it turns to liquid.

Wow. My paper reads that i can have the damn Jello and sugar free popsicles no broth or anything like that. Only these shakes for 800 calories a day

I'm the 10th as well.

Started preop yesterday. Have to do 5 Bariatric advantage shakes a day. I can also have all the SF Popsicles and jello I want. Any clear liquids SF of course and broths. I'm so nervous and excited to do this.

How r u guys doing??

I'm doing really well. First week was rough but doing much better this week. When are you getting sleeved?

Got sleeved on the 10th. Doing really well now too! Hard week though.

Yeah it was hard mentally. I thought I would be ok not eating. Having a rough time with that.

Amen. pizza is my weakness. I'd like to purée some of that and eat it! Lol. Not so healthy though. I can't wait to get to puréed cuz things will taste so much better but I am really taking it slow because sometimes just full liquids if they are the slightest bit too thick get stuck & does that EVER hurt! Ouch!
