Thought I'd start a thread for those of us being sleeved on the 1st. It would be fun for all of us to check in with each other after our procedures and compare how everyone is doing. It would also be a nice support for prior to the surgery because this pre op diet sucks and is HARD!!!!

Speaking of pre op diets. What do your doctors have you doing? I'm confused as to why some people only have to do a 24 hour liquid diet, while some (me included) have to do 2 protein shakes and 1 protein and green meal for 2 weeks and still others have to do 1 month of liquid! I want some cottage cheese. Anyone allowed to have that pre op? I read somewhere its ok. Just wondering. I'm only on day 3 and its hard (did I say that already?).

This is my 1st day preop doing ok... I can have 1/2c of cottage cheese drinkable yogurt,string cheese,clear liquids and soy milk with protein for my 1st 10 days of my 2 weeks pre-op 500-800 cal a day. If you feel funny it could be low protein or low blood sugar..My sleeve date March 4th just behind y'all..

Im march 1st!!! Guys im FAILING on the preop diet!!! Gah i gave up on diets a long time ago. I dont think i prepared myself for the preop diet enough.....

I feel your pain. I've been on my pre op diet for 1 week and today I cheated with about 1/4 cup of homemade salsa and then tonight my family got fast food and I had 4 French fries! I can't believe I ate carbs! Today was rough. We just have to remember we only have 1 more week. 1 more! We CAN do this! We have to. We've committed ourselves to change. Lets start now!

Seriously' date=' so funny! When is your surgery date? <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

Hi. Me again. Are you taking B-1? My doctor said I need to take it and I just realized I haven't been! So, I looked it up to see what it's for and, amount other things, 1 is it helps with fatigue and mental processing. Look it up. Maybe it would help. I need to go get mine today.

Could we do March 1-7th? Wes be at almost the same point! You guys can give us 7th people a heads up on whats coming later in the week!

Day 3 of pre op doing alright not feeling to great my stomach a little mess up!

Sastexan..do you think it is the preop diet or stomach bug.Well you can do this one day at a time.Maybe some warm tea would help you(decaf)

Doing better tea has help I think it's the diet the protein drinks gum S/F has help little the 4th will be here soon...

I have 7 days to go, this pre op has been very hard for me as well. I did fine the first 4 days. Then I realized I could have fat free chicken broth so I went and purchased that, did week till this weekend. Grr! I slept as long as I could sleep in the am hoping it would help. I also purchased v8 fusion diet. That has helped a lot. My problem with it all is that I have a strange taste in my mouth and strange feeling in my stomach. I think it is the aftertaste. Praying we all can get through this and the next few days goes by quickly!

OH I was so happy to see this thread today!!!! I am a March 1 - Sleever too!!!! I am excited and nervous and scared and well you all know the drill, it changes moment to moment. I am a self pay to mexico and honestly I am just ready to go NOW!!!!
