Hi March Buddies! Just got a call from the hospital and my surgery is scheduled for 4:30 PM!?!? Hopefully as it gets closer, they move it up. Getting ready to start the Protein Shakes on Friday. Hope everyone is doing well 😊

Every surgery I’ve had the surgical department called the day before with the arrival time and additional details. If surgery is on a Monday, they call on Friday. They might change it, seems like really late in the day. Good luck!

I just received the date of my sleeve to RNY revision. I will go in on Monday 3/11 and am very excited and hopeful for this surgery. Anyone else get a March date?

Claricey, I'm also on 3/11! Excited!

Starting my liquid diet today! 5 optiplex premade shakes, 160 cal each. Water, crystal light and sugar free Jello. That’s all I’m allowed. Surgery March 5!

I'm one day ahead of you--surgery on March 4 and started liquid diet on Monday. It is going surprisingly well so far. I haven't really felt hungry and I'm not having caffeine or sugar withdrawal headaches. There was an unpleasant moment yesterday when our offie had a pizza party--and it looked SO good!

We have almost identical stats!! We definitely need to stick together on this journey! Are you on a 2 week pre-op diet as well?? I'm buying all my Protein this week and making sure I purchase the correct Vitamins. Getting SO excited!

Recidivist, my headache started last night at the end of
Day one and has continued this morning. Yesterday I didn’t get too hungry but today at work is hard. I was dreaming of broccoli last night lol.

I'll start pre-op diet on Sunday, but I'm pretty close to that already. My doc has 2 Protein Shakes and 1 lean Protein meal for the 1st week and just shakes for the second week. I have protein shakes ready to go, I'm on specific pre-op Vitamins now and will get my list of post-op vitamins on Tuesday. I had a meeting with the program coordinator this morning and I've lost 15 lbs in the last month so things are looking good!

I'm pretty sure I gained weight in the last few weeks before the liquid diet with all the farewells to my favorite foods. (Haven't checked my weight in weeks.) If I'm lucky I'll be down a few pounds by surgery day.

I figure the longer I am without my trigger foods the easier it will be to avoid them. I hope I'm right!

Beach, I think you are absolutely right, and I wouldn't recommend anyone follow my example. I do intend to be super-compliant after surgery, however.

Recidivist, you’re not alone...I’ve had a few goodbye parties but I’m ready to be done and start shakes on Friday.
