Hi!

I am starting my pre-op diet on November 20th and have surgery scheduled with Dr. Landerholm of Puget Sound Bariatrics in Edmonds, Washington on December 4th. Are there any sleeve sisters or brothers out there also scheduled for December 4th? Would love to have some buddies to check in with along the way.

I have surgery on December 1st.

Hi, I'm scheduled for Dec 1 also ????

I may be close to that. Just waiting on the scheduler.

December 12th for me!

I'm Dec. 3rd. What kind of pre op diet are you on?

I am on a high protein/low carb diet - only 40 grams of carbs per day. It is supposed to shrink the liver. What kind of pre-op diets are you all on? I start tomorrow morning!

I am on a high protein liquid diet. I can only have protein shakes, sugar free jello, sugar free Popsicle, and water or clear liquid drinks like broth. I drink 3 protein shakes per day, 3 Popsicles and I have hot and sour soup from the Chinese restaurant, the broth off of it taste great. It's a struggle but my headache is gone and I feel a lot better today.

I'm December 1 too!

I started mine Monday - very similar to Lisa's. It is a struggle. But I am resolute.

December 1st whoooooooo

I have my sleeve scheduled for December 2nd! I started my pre-op on Friday even though dr didnt require until Tuesday but I knew the first few days were rough and i didnt want to do that and be at work. I tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup flavor protien powder for the first time today and YUMMO was like a warm soup of soup versus a sweet protien shake. I also love the Muscle Max pro max powder in Tiramisu and strawberry. It has 30 grams per scoop and is super smooth. So far I am down 9 pounds.

I just found out my date today and I'm Dec 3rd! I start my preop diet on the 26th, no thanksgiving for me! I'm just fine with that.. bring on the healthier me????

Dec 17th here. My dr's pre op diet is 3 days of 2 protein shakes and one healthy meal.

Hoping for 12/5 will know Monday for sure Fingers crossed

My surgery is on Dec 1st. Is anyone starting preop diet, eating Thanksgiving dinner and go back to preop the next day? Just curious.
