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!

Any fellow Nov sleevers care to share their pre-op diet? My surgeon just told me to lose 10 lbs before surgery, however in the paperwork it says 10-14 days clear liquid diet with foods, drinks and sample menus. I’ve got an upcoming appointment with the dietician where I’m sure I’ll get clarity. I was just wondering what everyone else was doing, or if you even knew.

I don't start mine until the 23rd, and the dietician told me to not start earlier (noooo problem! LOL) The paperwork is in the other room, but from what I remember, it's low carb, low calorie. Some foods, but not much. I'm glad it isn't liquids only, like a lot of folks'. I dunno how you all survive on that (afterward, sure... Before? [emoji15])

Booked for November tenth!!! I’m excited for things to finally happen!

Add me to the list for Nov 2nd! I'm so nervous and very excited to have this done before my birthday on the 18th!

Haven't started yet but it will be a 2 week liquid diet. Just liquids. I plan on reaching out to inquire about 1 small meal or some lean Protein.

So I actually can have these little protein bars, jello and a small banana. This should be interesting.

I'm on for 10/27!

I’m scheduled for Nov 6!! So excited and a little nervous ? I’m going to Mexico. What are you all doing to get ready now?

I switched to decaf, I’m consciously trying to chew things thoroughly (not as easy as it seems), and I have increased my walking distance and times. I had over 11,000 steps Saturday, but then felt I needed a day of rest Today I did just under 6000 steps in an hour walk, and will probably go out again later, or maybe ride my bike to get some more activity. I don’t get my pre-op diet until next week.

I've been trying to cut out all caffeine, which has been a struggle. I'm trying to get motivated to walk more and exercise. I've also started incorporating shakes at least one meal a day and drinking more water. I've noticed it the last week I'm beginning to mourn the things I won't be able to eat!! That hasn't been fun.

I hear ya! I am a serious Diet Coke addict. I’m trying to slow down now before I have to go cold turkey!
