Just got the call I've been waiting for, VGS November 3rd!! It's been a 7 month process of jumping thru a lot of hoops but it's all going to be so worth it. Cannot wait to get started on my new, healthier life. Start liquids only next Monday, any sleevers out there with suggestions about favorite, tasty Protein Drinks?

I'm currently waiting on a response on insurance approval. Met with the surgeon on Thursday. The clinic tells me that they typically hear back in about 2 days. Fingers crossed!!

Anyone in November start their pre op diet yet? I am on day 3 had some times where I've been hungry but overall not bad enough to call it quits, I have my mind made up thus what I want and can't wait for summer to show off the hard work.

I start mine tomorrow!! What have you been doing? Full liquid diet or are you eating too?

[Wingnut90 10]

I have done only liquids except for plain oatmeal, found if you add a little apple flavoring like you use in your Water it makes it taste better, first days have been a little tough but each day seems easier. I was supposed to start mine tomorrow too but thought I would start a few days earlier since I gained a couple pounds from my last weight in Dr visit. Good luck on your diet and your sleeve.

Did you add any fruit to your Protein Shakes?

[wyomom 9]

I'm 6 days in to the liquids only/protein shakes & am dropping weight like crazy, averaging 1-2 pounds a day right now. Down 20.5 as of this morning from my highest weight back in September. The first couple were tough, headaches & low energy & just felt blah. Had a couple of episodes of hypoglycemia so my Nut is allowing me a 3oz. package of Water pack tuna, plain. It's tastes pretty darn good after those sweet Protein drinks! Also have found that homemade broth tastes pretty good too. I am adding Mio to my water bottles & it's really helping me get the water down. It's kind of tart & really makes the water go down easier. I also add a little unflavored whey protein to up my protein intake. Surgery November 3rd, I'm ready!!!!
