Sounds like the Houston sleeve docs are far less strict about pre-op diets than docs elsewhere. I am in Houston too, on Sept. 4th. I have a three day pre-op liver shrinking diet with Protein Shakes, small Protein Snacks, and one meal of lowfat meat and salad with non-fat vinaigrette. Doc is Dexter Turnquest, hospital is Willowbrook Methodist. Who's your surgeon, and what hospital? Diana49

I'm in west central PA. Where is Saye? Eastern PA?

I'm sorry that was a typo. It was supposed to say Sayre, PA. It's right on the boarder of NY.

I'm September 10th! I'm self-pay in Michigan. I have to loose 5lbs before surgery. Not sure how I'm gonna go about that just yet. I'm thinking, lots of Water, (which I already drink a min of 128 oz of water a day so not sure how I can get in more) and 4 shakes a day

Im Sept. 12 in Virginia. Super duper excited. Will start a 2 week liquid diet August 29. The process went quick and without hiccup. Hoping to continue in that manner.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
