Anyone out there in the progress of getting approved and getting a date? I'm aiming for a January date but would not be surprised if it ends up February. Anyone else out there?

I am new to the group. My surgery is scheduled for January 24th. My pre-op diet is no more than 40 carbs per day which includes quite a few meats, cheeses and vegetables. I have tried to count the carbs throughout the day but have failed on occasion to account for some things. I have been doing low carb for longer than the two weeks but still... my failures and overages make me worry.

Just make these last days count and I’m sure you’ll be fine. My pre-op diet is only 10 days but it’s a liquid only diet. Protein shakes, broth, etc.

Thanks, I heard Premier shakes were good , I’m going to get some tomorrow & try it !

My date is for Feb 9th.

My sleeve will be late March, would have been at the beginning of March but we will be on a 2 week vacation, then have to do my 2 week liquid diet. Im super excited, super nervous. These months are going so fast, I started this process the end of November.

I finally got my approval!! Now I need a date and the pulmonologist clearance which he won't give before my next appt on the 23rd.

I’m scheduled for January 30th! Getting closer [emoji16] good luck everyone

Yes!! Let’s help each other thru this ! I would def like to keep in touch as we go thru the diff phases. I went to see my surgeon today and we went over my pre-op bloodwork etc ... happy to say everything is fine [emoji4] I go Friday for an educational class and then I’m ready for surgery day I am sticking to a low carb/high protein diet for the next couple of weeks ( I’m going to have one “last supper”) and then I need to do a liquid diet 3 days prior to the surgery (which is the Super Bowl [emoji20]) But that’s ok ! I’m excited to get started ! Do you need to do any special diet prior to the surgery ? What protein shakes will you be using ?

It’s getting real isn’t it! I bought some Premier Protein (at Sam’s 25% off) on Friday to give them a try. Not bad. I don’t have to do any special diet however i am watching what I eat but allowing myself treats when I come across something I won’t be able to have later.

My surgery is scheduled Jan. 4th! Almost there! On my liquid diet and it sucks! 4 shakes a day and water that’s it! I’m going crazy!!

How are you doing now, almost 2 weeks out

Hmm Washington's birthday bet you won't feel like chopping cherry trees down for a few days, but still a good day to start a new way of life.
