My sleeve is set for November 10... One week away. Trying to get all the supplements and groceries now.

I have been concerned about joining a fb group due to the fact I don't want others to see I have joined a group relating to gastric surgery. Does is show up or can people search groups and see who the members are? There are many reasons I have chosen to keep this between only my husband and I... Some of which are probably very similar to many others who are doing the same

I have the exact same concern. Only my husband and best friend know. I have the same surgeon and clinic that one of my friends used for her sleeve. I make sure we don't go at the same time. I saw someone I know in my PET class! She called me out in TARGET! I had to lie and say I was considering lap band but I change my mind which isn't exactly a lie It's crazy hard to keep this private in a smallish town!

Mine is November 10th too!! Good luck!!

How's everyone doing on pre op? Day two for me. I am keeping busy, chewing gum, eating ice chips, but I am hungry. Blah

Our group is secret and no one on FB except the ppl in the group can see it

Hello all,

My sleeve date is November 16th. Today is the first day of my 2 wk liquid diet????

I'm right here with ya. Still battling a headache. How are you doing

I'm okay so far. I've had one cup decafe coffee and now my first protein shake of the day. How many days are you in?

Our dates are the same. My surgery is the 16th. I am on day 3 of the pre op diet.

My pre op diet consists of shake for Breakfast, shake for lunch, and 4oz lean meat and 1/2 cup veggies for dinner. I'm not drinking anything but Water. So far I've finished the last 2 days at about 650 calories, and 100 Oz of water. I'm struggling big time with some funky headache feeling. I haven't cheated though. I am walking 1.5 to 2 miles on my lunch break to keep busy, chewing lots of sugar free gum and chewing ice chips.

I am 38, 250lbs, 5,4", female.

Hang in there! My diet consists of 3-5 Protein shakes a day. broth, sugar free Jello, Popsicles and sugar free apple sauce. 64 oz Water.

I'm 43- 264- 5.7

Sorry also female

Well I'm in the final 48 hour countdown to surgery on Friday. Day 15 of the pre-op liquid diet.

Overall doing pretty good. A little nervous, but not as much as I expected.

I am in the same boat, scheduled for the 11th.. I got my supplements and have all my post op meds already in the house so i don't have to go out later for anything.

i need to go pick up some cases of Water, some additional fruit flavored Protein powders (nectar brandname: Syntrax) is actually pretty good. its no old orchard but it works, kind of taste like sugar free Jello if you sipped it before letting it set in the fridge.. the one I have tried so far is Roadside lemonade

I also found unsalted chicken broth at the store, and yes it taste like unsalted chicken broth.. but it will be used to help fortify any home broth's I make while on full liquids post procedure.

I will pack my overnight bag next monday and put some reminders on the fridge for me for the day of procedure, as I was told to stop taking a few med prior to surgery and take that anti nausea medication 3hr prior to surgery.

so far on this pre-op diet I am down 10lbs with a week to go, so hopefully I can get another 10lbs off its nice to be able to use my home scale again which maxed at 400lbs.. I almost shed a tear (almost) .. but i did pat myself on back and said "that-a-boy"

Best to all...

One week from now my surgery will be over! Getting nervous but excited. Pre-op diet going well I can't say I've been hungry unless it is time to eat again. I've lost 9 lbs so far so hopefully a few more before next Wednesday. Good luck everyone. We are gonna be fabulous and healthier.
