I have my gastric sleeve on January 27th with Dr. Watkins in Cincinnati. I know it sounds funny to say I'm looking forward to something involving surgery, but I really am!! Can't wait to use this powerful tool to get this weight off and get healthier again!!!!

We are the same day. It's beyond hard. But I'm going to hang in there. I fell off on day three but I'm going strong now.

For those of us that have had a hard time on pre-op - are you telling your surgeon?

Are you following pre op to a T otherwise or making substitutions? I read a very low carb diet will shrink the liver.

I'm on day 1 of pre-op diet. I have a headache, I think from carb withdrawal. Other than that, it's not as bad a I feared. I will follow to a T. It is a safety issue. A smaller liver equates to a safer surgery.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
