I finally have my surgery date (8/14) and I am beyond excited. Looking for some sleeve buddies to go through this process with. I have been making changes already and so far so good. I have increased my activity level and stopped drinking Diet Dr Pepper, which was a huge change for me. What is everyone else doing to prepare? Does anyone who is post op have any helpful tips for things to have on hand after surgery?

I'm aug 5 and need to prepare for post op diet but I don't know what I can drink. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you!

Who has all started their liquid diet? I started mine Friday around 9pm. A few days early so that the worst is behind me before working on Monday am.

Started low carb duet Thursday. I see the surgeon and nut on Wednesday - not sure if they will change it to liquid at that time or stay low carb?

Hello beautiful sleevers! My surgery date is scheduled for Aug 1st. Still waiting for ins approval tho!! Some have mentioned "food funerals" and I've lol because THATS what I've been having lately. Gotta say there have been a lot of food funerals for me. Tomorrow starts the liquid diet. Even though My doctor advised the liquid diet three days prior, I want to start now because I feel I'm going to struggle with this!! I am, however, sooooo EXCITED and ready to start this new chapter. I've joined a gym for their Zumba classes and will be doing that at least 4x a week with light weight training!!

I've bought GNC LEAN Protein powder!! Some yogurt and lots of Water. Have to stock up on that chicken broth and sugar free jello!! I'm hoping I can do this part. Anyone have other suggestions for this liquid diet??

How is it going? I'm still contemplating to start during the weekend to avoid withdrawal at work.

^{I am starting my low carb diet tomorrow. Got two weeks of that!}

My dr said protien shakes and low carb bars all day starting 2 weeks before. Started last Monday I stead of last Wednesday. Lost 13 lbs already. I drink the Advantedge shakes and Atkins bars.

Nothing exciting but I want to follow all instructions so I have a positive outcome! Paying cash for all of this........ ~~~~ Teri
