April 1st!

So excited! This process has gone so fast! I literally visited my weight loss center 2 months ago for the first time, my insurance approved me last week and I'm scheduled for the 1st! I'm very excited and can't wait to see how my life improves!

Although... Having the surgery done on April Fools day is kinda weird! I hope the doctor doesn't have too good of a sense of humor!!

I'm getting sleeved on the 1st too! Do you have to do a preop diet? If so, how long?

  • Author

I kinda have a pre-op diet. On the Saturday before surgery I have to drink magnesium citrate. Which I guess cleans you out. Then on Easter Sunday I can only have clear liquids.

I have to be at the hospital at 6am, then surgery is scheduled at 7:30.

How about you, what is your dr having you do?

How did your surgeries go? I had my surgery on April 1st as well and I am downing and feeling pretty good!!

I start full liquids today, so that's exciting. I am feeling really well though. I get out and walk every now and then. I can't wait to do strength training though. I don't want any loose skin!!

Wow I had to so 2 wks of Protein shakes prior to my surgery on 4/1 everything went well I started soft foods on 4/11 but honestly I think I've stalled. I have only lost 13lbs. How r u guys doing with weight loss?

I cannot do soft/pureed foods until 4/21. I also seemed to be stalling. I am going to try to increase my liquids. I still drink so, so slow. I have lost 14 pounds. What kind of foods are you eating?
