Hey everyone just trying to get all the September Sleevers together! I have my surgery September 30th. So when I wake up on the first of a new month I'll be a new person in the making let's all support and help one another!!

I weighed 284 when I had my EGD done , weighed 269 when I had surgery , lost that from being on pre-op diet

Did you have to say tacos? Lol. My surgery is Sept. 17 and I started my pre-op diet today. I just had a bowl of chicken broth with a little poultry seasoning and black pepper. Not too bad but I really want some real food. I am already afraid that I won't make it through the next 2 weeks without cheating. God I pray the cravings go away! As usual I didn't really get hungry for favorite foods until I started the pre-op diet. Now I am suddenly craving everything I can't have. I need some willpower. Never expected this!

Good evening! I started my pre - op liquid diet too today. It wasn't as bad as I expected but who knows what tomorrow holds. Hang in there and just know that you're not in this alone. Feel free to reach out if you are having a weak moment.

9/29 for me! I'm in North Texas. Pumped!

Getting sleeved tomorrow morning! Came so fast! Nervous but confident with my decision.

Sending encouragement your way, 2late4bed! I hope tomorrow gets easier for you and everyone beginning the pre-op diet. We can do this! Best wishes, E.

Sorry! (They were yummy!)

Our doc has us do a week of Clear Liquids plus Protein Drinks. My husband works in a very physically demanding job and the doc told him that if he just absolutely had to eat something on workdays, then he could have one baked chicken breast each day.

It'll go better than you expect it to, just think of the outcome! Good luck!

Cool. My husband's and my surgeon is Dr. Jayaseelan at Dallas Bariatrics. it's a little over two hours from our house to his office, so not too bad of a drive. I just feel a lot more comfortable and confident with him than with any local surgeons here in WF.

SleevedSharon, my surgery is Sept 30th as well. Excited and nervous at the same time. Good luck with your surgery.

Congratulations!

I'm on day three of my pre-op diet and I have to say it....it's awful! I'm allowed 2 water based protein shakes a day and 4 oz of lean meat with a half-cup of veggies. I can also have 2 servings of broth, sugar free jello and sugar free popsicles plus tons of water. The worst of it is the awful protein shakes. Well, those and the 8 chewable bariatric vitamins I have to take. Don't get me wrong, I can do this and I WILL do this! But, it's not easy. 11 more days to go.......
