Getting sleeved on 11-12 in Chicago at Northwestern. Can't wait - my mom at bypass 10 years ago and the only regret she has is she didn't do it earlier! I already drink a lot of Protein as I am very active - weight training, cardio and golf. I find vanilla cream and Vitamin Water Orange is a good easy mix. Premier Protein is pretty cheap at costco or on Amazon. Currently 30 and 6-1 310 and am hoping to settle in around 240.

Anyone else in the Chicago area getting sleeved around then?

I'm not in Chicago- but I am in Indianapolis! Not too far ;-) my surgery is set for 11/11

Going shopping today for my Protein shakes and all my sugar free Popsicles and Jello for the pre op diet.

Nervous about it and prepping my brain for the task at hand!

Good luck gang.

Several ppl have recommended a sippy cup to help from not drinking too much too fast. Sounds crazy but they swear by it in the beginning stages!

I got my sippy cups, thanks again.

I am also November 4th! I am going to do one week pre-op liquid diet. I have ordered sample packs of Protein Drinks from nectar and injury. I'm gonna try those before I purchase any big containers! I am buying all my Vitamins on pay day next week. Another thing I just decided is that I'm going to do a big day of freezer cooking before surgery for my kids meals. They are all crockpot meals so I can just stick them in in the morning and not have to worry about cooking :0) Soooo excited!

I was looking online last night at the different brands and flavors. I think I'm going to get a few flavors of the Isopure and Nectar (samples) to try before I invest in a tub. Lol

I have found these delish Protein Bars that have between 18-21 gr of protein and only 3 gr sugar. They are made by Pure Protein. They are 10 for $10 at Kroger's grocery store right now if anyone has that grocery in your city.

Premier Protein vanilla or chocolate pre-made drinks and vanilla ice cream whey Protein - easy to mix with lots of beverages.

Bars will be tough to eat after surgery we were told by our dietician but are good for now to help build up your protein in take.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
