Hi everyone!! This is my first post & I'm looking for October surgery buddies. I'm very excited about the surgery.

Pre -Op on the 23rd but I'm kind of nervous... I was suppose to get to 280 before surgery but I'm currently 270... I had my wisdom teeth pulled so I've been on a liquid diet... I'm worried they'll think I've lost too much on my own..

Ok fellow sleevers, I need assistance please...

I need to start taking vitamins pre not post op....are there any suggestions on which ones 2 buy???

Im currently taking Centrum and they are pretty good. My surgeon think they were as well. I'm not looking forward to those chewable bariatric vitamins. I've been sampling them over the past 2 weeks. So I've decided to get the crystal multivitamin and calcium. I don't think anyone offers the iron and B 12 in crystal form . Good luck on your journey!

Hi everyone! Im from NY and I'm scheduled to be Sleeved on Oct.1st ???? I'm super excited but ridiculously nervous at the same time. I started the process in May and finally have my date! At first I felt like the day would never come and now that it's 2 weeks away I can't believe it's happening!

Deff looking forward to making friends and sharing experiences!

My surgery is set for October 1 as well! I have been super moody and I'm only 2 days into the pre op diet. This could get ugly. . Good luck!!

I feel like it's fine ... I've been on it for about a week now and I'm fine .. 2 eas shakes and one meal (protein/veggies) and 1 snack only ... 1 serving of fruit a cheese stick a hard boiled egg or plain Greek yogurt ... not sure what other pre-op diets consist of but minds doesn't seem to bother me at all. ☺️ good luck though nikkydizzle!

Hey everyone!! I am from Texas and having surgery October 15th! I am super excited and nervous all at the same time. I am the heaviest I have ever been, I have been splurging a lot lately. I agree with Kathy that I think the hardest part will be the preop diet. I have a pretty high pain tolerance so I'm not too worried about that. What kind of protein shakes is everyone buying?

I've been drinking the chocolate fudge, EAS carb control shakes. At a support group meeting I heard they have hot protein drinks on berriwise.com I hear their Hot Chocolate flavor is really good!

I just got my approval yesterday! One day after it was submitted, so excited. I am looking at October, maybe the 13th. I go for my scheduling appointment on Friday. So ready for this part to be over.
