I know! But he wants me to lose 10% of my body weight first! I think the next four weeks may be the hardest of this whole thing!

I will be thinking of you!!! I have 2 weeks of a liquid diet starting 11/2. I am literally praying for the will power to hang in there. Have you found a Protein Drink that you like?

My surgery date is November 16 th!! Good luck everyone..

That's my date as well. Do you have to do the 2 week diet before? I am getting so anxious.

Nov. 19! I'm so excited... Start liquids Oct. 22!

Wow. 4 weeks of liquids prior to surgery??
I start my liquid diet on 11/2.. It feels like time is flying by. Wow do you have to start your liquid diet so early?

you can do it! While my liquid diet does not start officially for another week OCT 27th. I have been on a 2x Protein Shake (Breakfast / Lunch) and lean dinner diet consistently for the past month or so including weekends. I took this steps to help ease me into the official liquid stage coming up and subsequently post-procedure as well. Is it difficult yes, but you can do it.. PM me or reply if you need encouragement or ideas.

My sleeve date is Nov 11th.. fast approaching. :)

I prefer the Premier Protein. I have the powder and it's a pain. The powder tastes best if you put it in a blender however I heard that you shouldn't use the blender because of the air will give you gas pains. I'm definitely going to go with premier Protein for the convenance and can just grab and go. I went to BJ's yesterday and a case was 18.99.

I also like the Premier brand. I use the RTD flavors and the vanilla powder to make my own smoothies. I have also ordered Unjury chicken Soup flavored and unflavored Protein Powder for the clear liquid phase after surgery. Love the chicken soup flavored. I mix the powder with a bit of warm tap Water to create a slurry and then add that to hot water to prevent clumping.

Hello, Fellow November Sleevers. My surgery is set for November 3rd. Already on the Pre-Op diet as the hospital I am having surgery at wants my BMI below 55 before surgery. The first couple of days of the diet were a little tough, but I adjusted quickly and I've lost over 10 lbs in the first week (my scale). Going for my first weigh-in this morning.

My surgery is to be done by Dr. John Coon at Parkview Hospital in Riverside, CA.

Getting pretty excited about this!!!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
