Is anyone buying things pre op to prepare ? What kind of Protein are you using ? I currently use Premier Protein as a ready made shake but I just ordered a sample pack of Chike to try different flavors of powders. Any must have items your surgeon has mentioned ?

I am going Wednesday to my last visit before surgery on Dec. 2nd. The surgeon's office gives you a 10% discount on day of consent signing (part of Wednesday's visit) and requires if you don't buy there to bring in your supplies so they know you have the right protein and Vitamins ready for when you go home...if not, they will not do surgery! I'm buying my supplies there...I've been using the nectar products and LOVE the chocolate truffle and PB2 mixed together. For 8 ounces of milk and powders it is the pure protein at 36 grams. I love it and actually drink one every morning now.

I also will buy all of my bariatric vitamins from them - it is easier. They have all of them needed in chewables and they are bariatric specific so at least the first 3 months worth I'm buying there.

I also will buy the chicken broth and flavored protein liquid for Water both at 15 grams per serving. He requires 3 whole weeks on post surgery on nothing but liquids...it is going to be tough! Every surgeon seems to have their own ideas/program...at the 3 week post surgery mark you go in and get a check up and a nutritional consult to move to the next eating stage - I thought this was just to charge us more money, but they don't charge for the visit at all at 3 weeks, so...guess they are just conservative! he has a GREAT results record and is an Excellence in Bariatrics surgeon.

They are suppose to tell me more of things to get that will help at the hospital and after surgery on Wednesday so I'll share more then!

I'm in Tennessee. Going to start the diet then also. Because I'm diabetic I'll have either shake or bar for Breakfast and lunch and I can have either small fruit ir yogurt for morning and afternoon Snacks then light supper. What will your diet be like?

I meet with the surgeon Thursday morning. He will then give me a 2 week diet of shakes and 1 meal prior to surgery. So of course I'm craving everything under the sun! Does anyone plan on having a "last supper" before the pre op diet? Im trying to resist.....

Hello All! I was scheduled for November 8th, but got moved to December 20th. So I guess I'm with you guys. Was delayed because surgeon said I had to quit smoking. Day 9 smoke free (well two smoked) but am on the correct track now)! Any body near my date?

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
