January 14th here in Massachusetts at St. Elizabeths! Getting nervous and excited and scared and excited... Thinking of joining Overeaters Anonymous because there are no support groups around me and I want all the support I can get. Good luck everyone!

Hi! This is my very first post on this site. My surgery is TOMORROW, 1/2. I am nervous, scared and excited all at the same time. Reading this site has helped calm my nerves considerably. It helps to know I'm not alone in my back and forth feelings of anxiety and excitement. I'll check back in to report how things go!

I think of it like this, I'm more afraid of continuing to live with the complications of being obese than I am about anything this surgery could do to me.

I'm starting my 2 week liquid diet today. I was wondering how many times a day did you guys that are/have been on the liquid diet drink Protein Shakes a day?

I drink Protein at 6am, 10am, 2pm, and 6pm but the 6 o'clock ones are nectar protein at home, 10 and 2 o clock are eas carb control while I'm at work.

My doc....who I think is super mean..LOL said4-5 a day to equal 90gm protein...a banana or apple or bowl of melon twice a day...... + 64 ounces of Water last night I cheated a little and had a cup of broth with egg whites stirred in..... it was the bomb .... I needed a hot something that wasn't sweet or cold

[crystalmaries 55]

I do three pure Protein Shakes - each have 30 grams in them.

I"m super jealous of all the pre op diets that have a solid food dinner. I have three to four Protein Shakes a day and I do broths in-between. I don't intake any caffeine just Decaf hot teas and anything else that is sugar free to drink. If I get tired of the Protein "shakes" I drink a lil bit of a Protein Drink that taste a lil sweet to change it up! 13lbs down. I don't look or feel different but I guess I was expecting so much more.

[jbrooks_rn 23]

I've only lost 3 pounds .... I broke down and called my doctor's office lol. I asked her if I could at least have something hot at night when I go home I hate cold and sweet drinks I probably won't have another chocolate shake for years to come

[JenniferO2188 75]

Thanks guys! You really helped. It's tough because I get tired of sweet tasting stuff really quickly so I'll definitely be adding broth into the mix.

I don't think I'd have the same confidence with myself or optimism throughout my gastric sleeve journey as I do now have I not joined this website/forum.
