I know its a few months away but I thought I would start a thread for Nov 2020! My date is 11/9! Looking forward to starting my new journey, hoping Covid doesn't screw stuff up!

Thank you so much! I needed to hear this.

I feel calmer today, and I feel ready!

2 days left! I can not wait to start my new life !

Yay! You got this! ?

Have my sleeve done November 10. Kind of struggling with this 2 week diet before.

The caramel ones I find kind of cloyingly sweet, but if you put them in ice and add two shots of espresso they are very good. Kind of caramel macchiatoesque. Or at least that’s what I tell myself.

Preop is Monday, so that is the last hurdle for me. I am worried something might come up on the bloodwork, or I have some crazy asymptomatic case of Covid, etc etc.

I tried a cookies and cream Premier Protein today. I won't be buying those again. They had a taste I couldn't quite put my finger on, but I didn't enjoy. I may give the other 3 to my son. Later on, I'm going to try the strawberry creme kind...

It’s a hard diet. It gets better after the first few days. It’s still not fun but it does get at least manageable.

so far I'm doing pretty well on my pre-op diet...5 days in and am losing about a pound a day, although I know that losing weight isn't the point. hoping alot of the weight loss is my liver shrinkage After the first day it was much more manageable.

I am so hoping that as well! I have a scale that measures a whole bunch of things, and I am happy my visceral fat percentage is going down... I am more concerned about that than subcutaneous or body fat percentages. Awesome for the pound a day, though!

Hi all.

I'm wondering if there is anyone else on a pre-op diet (or who has already gone through that process) who already (prior to the diet) was not drinking pop or soda, things like that, ate mostly "balanced meals" and who is still working out or physically active? Thanks in advance ?

Me too!! I'm scheduled for November 10th. ?

The cookies and cream shake is just gross, IMO. The best flavors are just plain chocolate, vanilla, caramel if you add espresso, and the pumpkin spice is actually ok.

Yesterday I was informed I could have v8 on my diet and it was about the most exciting news ever. My surgeon requires a 4 week post op liquid diet as well so I was amusing myself counting out weeks and realizing it might be Christmas before I actually get to chew something again.

Can I join this topic? I'm so excited haha I am getting sips surgery, but I am also getting a sleeve which is part of the surgery

my favorite protein shakes are koia

I don’t mind the premier cookies and cream, but I cut all of my premier shakes with an equal amt of skim fairlife milk. It tastes better to me and my stomach doesn’t protest as much... and I’m still pre surgery. I wonder what after will bring.
