Hi everyone! I'm a few weeks from my gastric sleeve surgery. My date is Sept 10th..(fingers crossed) I have been doing a lot of research as for what I need to buy for my liquid diet and ideas to make my shakes taste better. I already have my list for what Im bringing to the hospital. I feel like I'm missing something. Any ideas? Ive yet to buy my multi vitamins and my calcium chews. My next appt I will need to buy my shakes and begin my liquid diet. I would love to have some friends who are taking the same journey as me..someone who can relate..thanks in advance!!xoxo

I'm headed to Mexico this next Thursday for surgery Friday morning. We will have to keep in touch! Good luck to us! ????????

Oops that was suppose to be smiley faces lol :-) :-)

lol! Yes, do keep in touch! Going through surgery at 9AM on Friday :-) I hate my pre-op diet though, ugh! Can't wait! Hope it all goes well with you!

My surgery is on Thursday :-) what place is your surgery happening at?

I am the 16th also. Waiting to get my preop appointment sometime in the next 2 weeks.

I was sleeved on the 16th also. Feeling great. How are you?

Mines at the OCC in Tijuana, surgeon is Dr Ariel Ortiz, where u having yours done?

Ugh guys my surgery is 9 days away and last night I cheated on my liquid diet. I had 2 oz of chicken breast and one cup of broccoli. I still think that I'm far enough away that I should be good as long as I keep up 100% to liquid diet for the rest of the time. I was jist so hungry. But oddly enough my jaw hurt from chewing haha! Anyway I'm back on track today :-)

You should be fine. My doctor has me on 2 shakes and 4 oz of lean protein and dark green veggies. Every doctor is different but I believe your way is better with all clear liquids.

Last day... the whole no food thing for today has gone pretty good. Not even hungry. Anxious/Nervous/Scared for tomorrow morning.

Ah! I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight! I have to be at the hospital at 10 tomorrow.
