Hello all! Im scheduled to be sleeved on January 14th and im sooo excited for my new life to begin. I started my pre op diet today and sadly thus far am not liking the protein( upsets my stomach) thank God im allowed to eat veggies too! Good luck to everyone! !!

I have not read all the replies just yet, but try low-fat soy milk. I bought both regular skim milk and low-fat soy milk, just in case, as my surgeon said this often happens to people, especially since you are drinking it every day, and may not be aware of being lactose intolerant. I found that I do like the soy milk better, and have less stomach upset. Hope that helps.

Hi! YES' date=' my EGD is Jan 14 and my sleeve is Jan 22. I am excited although I did not know I would end up getting a sleeve a week ago. I had always sort of planned on having an RNY but my surgeon feels that at my age (24) I will do better with a sleeve. Am I correct in understanding that the weight loss rate is basically the same as RNY patients? Or like within 5% which pretty much makes it comparable in my mind.[/quote']

My surgery is Jan 22 too! I'm starting my pre op diet on the 8th. I'm really anxious and excited at the same time. What is a RNY?

Hello everyone! 29m here I am new here. I am waiting for insurance to finalize everything and I am starting to get nervous. I just mind of want it over with already the more I wait the more I start freaking out. My whole life I've been yo-yoing not few lbs but more like 90-100. I can lose it easily but have a hard time keeping it off. I feel like my body just wants to be fat. Last year I was on hcg and lost 120 lbs and the. Within a year I gained it all back. I'm so embarrassed/depressed. I hope this will work for me and help me keep it off. Do you guys have any advice? Thank you <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Hi I've yo yo'd since I was sixteen. The most I've lost is 60 on one diet. I gained it and much more. I don't have a lot of advice. I can tell you that this forum will probably be a lot of help, and support groups in your town. I am feeling scared and excited. Coming back to this forum really helped me. Support and more support!
