Recommended Posts

I'm also in Philly with a low-ish BMI, hoping to be sleeved a few weeks after you... So I'll be following your progress closely! :-)

Good luck as you start your pre-op diet this week. I expect it'll go really fast and March 5 will be here before you know it![/quote

If you don't mind me asking which hospital? I have mine at Jefferson.

I should get my pre-op packet from the doctor tomorrow. I won't have a long pre-op diet since I haven't gained too much weight since they took my band out in November. I have already cut out caffeine and bought some journals to track everything I eat/drink. Journaling will start tomorrow. I'd like to compare what I'm eating now (even though I've already cut back) to my new lifestyle.

Mine will be at Temple. One nice thing about this area--we had a lot of great options.

My friends had theirs done at Temple. They both had great experiences. Good Luck and yes we are lucky so many great hospitals in Philly to pick!

I am scheduled for my sleeve procedure on March 3. I start my two week pre-op diet tomorrow. I am excited but also a bit scared.

Mine is at Penn. I've heard great things about all of the Philly hospitals! My mandatory two hour nutrition class is this Friday. You have to pay $200 out of pocket. They keep you two nights for surgery. Thank goodness for these support groups because it's hard when you're not telling a lot of people. I bought peppermint Decaf tea tonight. I've read that helped others with nausea. Has anyone found liquid Tylenol anywhere in adult strength?

I am scheduled to be sleeved on March 3!! I start my pre-op on diet on February 24. I am nervous and exited at the same time!!! Yesterday I purchased my Protein Shakes, Vitamins and supplements. I have stocked the freezer with sugar free popcicles and loaded up on sugar free Jello. My biggest fear is the first couple weeks of recovery!!! Uggggghhhhhh... I have 90 to 100 pounds to lose and I cannot even imagine life at 140-145 pounds!!

I go next Wednesday for my surgeon meeting and get my date. I'm really struggling between bypass vs. sleeve but I'm leaning more towards sleeve. I just want to be sure to pick the one that will allow me to lose the most weight but is not terribly hard to live with. So, I will get my date next Wednesday! I think it'll be around March 11th.

How are my fellow March 3rd people doing with their liquid diets? I'm only on day 2 and it's been okay so far.

My doctor says we can have non starchy veggies, so last night I had a big salad with dressing made with no oil.

I'm actually having more trouble getting 3-5 Protein shakes in a day. Last night I had my 3rd shake for "dessert," just to make sure I hit my Protein goal.

Might be a little different today since I was out shoveling earlier....

      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.
