March 9th and pre-op diet starts the 23rd. Hoping everything goes well. Mine is in VA

I'm a March 3rd as well. Thankfully I don't have To start liquids until next week. Good luck to you! Have you found a good Protein shake?

A friend recommended Isopure Dutch chocolate. It is good! I also bought the strawberry and will try it later in the week. I also had the unjury recommended too. I have to go for my pre-op class on Thursday and plan to purchase some to try.

Another march 3rd here. I go tomorrow to sign consents with the surgeon and the anesthesiologist. It's becoming so real it's terrifying. They will probably have me start on liquids after tmw, too.

I hope we all do okay!! I've been just posting here and there while I've been on here so I'm hoping that I can find a good "group" for support after surgery. I have my husband, but I feel like he just doesn't get it completely yet.

I also feel like I need to tell my parents, but I haven't yet. ...I'm scared to tell them.

I actually have not had a problem with the diet (but this is day 1). I have been able to get most of the liquids in and many of the food choices. I'm supposed to get about 1200 calories a day but that is proving to be a challenge. I'm going to create some meal plans to get me on track.

I have only told ppl that I am getting my band removed. I haven't mentioned getting the revision to sleeve. Are any of you on fb? Definitely should find a way to stay connected. I start liquids next Tuesday! This Saturday I have a nutrition class, see my doc on Monday for prep, 2nd nutrition class on Wednesday then I am good to go. It is becoming so surreal. A friend of mine had it done right at a month ago and has already lost 20lbs. But I told her she didn't need the surgery to begin with!!

I was thinking of trying the Unjury as well.

I am not on Facebook. Not for any particular reason really..I just deactivated it a year ago and haven't felt compelled to activate it again.

I have told my husband and one friend who was/is in process. I say "was/is" because she gained around 10 pounds in her 4th month of supervised diet docs. I know she wants it, but I'm not sure if she's ready yet..just because she's not been very wordy about it and has kind of stand-offish when I talk about mine coming up.

I told work that I have a hernia and an ulcer--i don't. But I'm taking paid time off so I don't have to provide much more than that.

I have just started super cleaning--I do it when I'm anxious. It'll help me relax when I'm recovering at home.

This whole process sort of just ...closed up on me. It felt like for everrr when I was going through the motions, but now that it's all said and (almost) done it's freaking me out a bit.

I plan to stock up on broth and Popsicles and my Vitamins and Protein of course. I have just shy of two weeks.

March 9 a new beginning just a day before my bday. Mix of emotions

[kyrickchick64 468]

The pre-op freaked me out, but after a day went by I think it was just my nerves. The one thing that took me by surprise what that my dr wants me to give myself a needle in my stomach for 21 days after surgery to prevent blood clots. I get it but it came out of left field lol. I had to do a two week liquid diet which really was easy for me I lost 18 pounds in 12 days then the 13th day I had to post pone. BUT I am ready!! Good luck to you both!

I got the same thing. It's a teeny needle you'll be fine

[kyrickchick64 468]

I have March 2nd in Louisville. I'm on my liquid now.
