Hello all! I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months, thank you all for the great advice and sharing your experiences. It's been very helpful and informative! I met with the surgeon a week ago today, my surgery date is June 26. Anyone else for June?

Hi, I have my surgery scheduled for June 26. I am both nervous and excited! I have my final weigh in on Monday the 17th, but there has been no mention of a preop diet so far. Guess I will find out then!

Welcome to those who just found the forum. I was sleeved Tuesday and am feeling great. All in all everything went great and the surgeon is super happy. I wish you guys the best and hope yours goes as well.

Dear Pinkeez,

Congrats!! The preop diet takes some getting used to.... I have this protein powder from my Doc called Chike. It is THE BEST tasting shake I've ever had! I just shake it up in my blender bottle....

We are going to do FANTASTICALLY!!! Keep your spirits up, we are on a rewarding journey. This is my third day of preop diet, and am already down 8 pounds. Have a great day.

Luv,

EpicBunny <3

8 lbs that's great!!! Can't wait to be on losing side too Is Chike sold in stores???

Hi June sleevers, I am also the 25th. Hopefully, I had preop testing and was found to be very anemic. So now I'm worried about how did I get this way. Now have a heart murmur, it may be due to anemia. Otherwise besides the very large paraesophogeal hernia. Things are going good. already lost my 10% and started my preop diet. I would like to ask for everyones prayers. Thank you.

Congrats to all the recent sleevers. Our journey begins now. My surgery went well and recovery is going great. I do admit that it is difficult to get all the fluids in when you are NOT hungry.

Im June 24th as well. Have you started your pre-op diet?

Yes (: , I started it on Monday . & So far so good!

What about you?

Day 2 of my preop diet, started reducing food this past week to get ready....down 5 pounds from last Wednesday!! It is hard, but I am feel good on this diet so far!!

Oh my gosh you sound like me exactly! I had an Iron infusion a little over a month ago and last week they found that I have an irregular heartbeat so I am not cleared yet. I have an echo on Monday. They also found on my EGD that I have a hiatal hernia. I am thankfully down quite a few from my high and hope the preop takes more away! Good luck and I will have you in my prayers!

That will continue while your stomach is healing. Just keep taking it slow and sip, sip, sip!

I'm 2 days out and so far I haven't had problems with anything. Orange isopure tastes the best.

Not so much with Water, but I did have some awkwardness with Jello and broth. Nothing terrible, just a little odd feeling.
