Calling all October sleevers!!

[LillieDuFran 127]

I've dropped 10 lbs in 3 days on pre op. Tried going to Mass this am, but had to leave. Major tummy issues. Could be the antibiotic I'm on. Today is last day of that, so hoping to be back to normal. Otherwise doing well.

Doing some prep of post op foods, etc.

Prayers for us all. Boy are there a lot of food commercials!

Misachiever, I have good home & friend support, but I am here for anyone who needs support. You are very brave.

Oct 5th! Day 4 of my liver reduction diet. Any advice?

[LillieDuFran 127]

I am on day 4 as well. Just stay the course. Get that liver ready so you have a great surgical experience.

Yes. Try to focus on anything else but what you are eating.

I'm trying! But it is hard! Gonna try chicken broth today.

Also Oct 5th. I'm day 5 of my pre-op diet and it is hard. Only allowed to use Bariatric Advantage shakes. I can blend in certain ingredients (skim milk, frozen fruit, etc) but that's it. I've done Optifast before and found the shakes and Soups to be pretty good so it was tolerable. These are pretty terrible. But I'm losing weight and I definitely don't want to have to reschedule the surgery so I'm pushing through

How long is your pre-op?

1 day... to start after breakfast.... though honestly I think I'll do a modified version of the pre-op diet everyone is doing for a week or so just to get in the mood!

I am also using the Bariatrics shakes but I cant use milk at all.

Most Optifast products are 21% to 24% sugar(s). Typical Nestles ... load us up with something our bodies are best off without.
