October 13, 201411 yr Me!!! Starting my pre-op diet on Wednesday! Edited October 13, 201411 yr by JerzyTomato74
October 14, 201411 yr This Wednesday? Yes, this Wednesday. Are you excited, nervous or all of the above? I'm glad I'm doing it before Halloween so I don't gorge on candy but I am kinda bummed to miss out on one last Thanksgiving feast! Ha ha! We'll be one month out by then so I might be able to get a little bit of turkey down!
October 14, 201411 yr Mine is also the 29th, I am also starting my pre op tomorrow (wednesday). I am literally counting down the days, 15 more by the way! Good Luck to you guys also!
October 14, 201411 yr Author I'm very excited but a little nervous also. I start my pre op diet on Monday. I'm glad to miss out on Halloween candy bc i love candy and knowing I can't have it actually doesn't bother me. I thought the same thing about thanksgiving guess we just have to wait and see how our stomachs adjust to food then.
October 14, 201411 yr I'm the 29 I started my pre op diet today and have a massive headache to go with the lack of food thinking sleeping these next few days away.lol if only my kids would let me
October 14, 201411 yr Received a surgery date yesterday for 10/21! Good luck everyone! I am so excited to begin this journey.
October 16, 201411 yr I'm scheduled for the 27th! Started pre-op diet today, too. It's been really tough, but I'm hanging in there.
October 20, 201411 yr I'm the 29th as well. Went for my pre-admission today which went well. I have been on Optifast since 1st October & lost 4.5kg so feeling optimistic for the future. At this point I just can't wait to get it done..happy days ahead ????
October 20, 201411 yr I'm also the 29th. Love this forum to connect with other sleevers. I just started my pre-op diet today since the doc said I only have to do it for one week. I've been looking at different kinds of protein shakes. Anyone have a favorite?
October 20, 201411 yr i like to use body fortress vanilla with 1 cup of frozen fruit and 1.5 cups of almond milk to make a smoothie
October 21, 201411 yr I've been drinking the Max Pro Vanilla using ice or pieces of frozen banana to make it thicker, and almond/coconut milk. My doctor recommended using sugar-free coffee flavorings, like the Torani (?) syrups, but I haven't gotten around to getting any of those. I'll post updates after surgery, I'm so ready for Monday!
Is anyone else having surgery on October 29th??!!!
