Tomorrow? I start Monday 8th but I may try it over the weekend and have my first two days at home instead of work. I do slim fast and Atkins with a meat and veggie at night . Sf Jello and Popsicles in between. I have bought some shakes already and stocked up on sf jello too. I also went out and got liquid Tylenol since I'm pretty sure headaches will be bad the first few days.

I have to get liquid Tylenol also. May pick that up tomorrow. I'm starting early. Want to have the hang of he diet before I get to work Monday.

Awesome! Great job!

I'm July 23rd and would love to be a buddy. I'm in Florida. When do you start pre-op diet and what does it entail? I start July 7, and get 2 shakes and 1lean Protein and veggie meal a day.

I was sleeved on 7/23 and live in FL too :)

Went to my primary care today so I have an official weight.

Highest weight 235.5

Surgery weight 223.5

1 week PO today 214.5

Yeehaw!!! 21 pounds total in 3 weeks and 9 since surgery. Did I mention I love my sleeve?!

I have a feeling there is a stall in my near future;)

Oh!! I was July 23, and I'm in Orlando, where in Florida are you?

Asdamato' date=' I'm in the Orlando area. My family is in Brevard though. I'm getting excited, but I'm kind of afraid of the pre-op diet:). We will be going through it with lots of others on here. That's a blessing. Lets keep in touch.
