My birthday!

Good luck ?

My surgery date is November 12th. I am ready to finish what I have started. My biggest thing is the first month of puree foods. A week after my surgery my daughter has a soccer tournament in south ga, but I should be able to figure it all out just find places that have soup for my dinner and add my protein.

Lots of good protein powders on this list that satisfy the requirements the nutritionist gave me.

*20-30 grams of protein per serving

*<15 grams of carbs per serving

* <200 calories per serving

I've started a multivitamin and collagen + biotin pills today and have tried to increase my water intake. I'll begin exercising tomorrow. I'm very motivated to not only lose weight but to be healthy and strong!

I am Nov. 11 and getting very exciited..

I'm scheduled for Nov 6th! My preop appt is next week. Soon to be starting the liquid diet for two weeks! I'm excited and nervous all at the same time.

You're one week before I am. I am very excited, not too nervous. I think I more nervous about the 14 day liquid diet that I am the surgery. ? Were you able to make your 10% weight loss goal?

Mine starts on the 28th and it is pure liquid. I plan on living on the premier protein shake, sugar free jello, & chicken broth!! Sounds yummy right! ? I am actually looking forward to this journey!

Hi, fellow November sleevers... Was just wondering what all of your pre-op diets look like. Mine is 10 days, and thankfully has some food... Not nearly enough but some is better than none, I guess. I start on the 24th, I think, and have told those who know what I'm doing (I'm keeping it somewhat on the down low for various reasons) that I may not be the most pleasant person to be around.

I will be on a 14 day liquid diet. My surgery date is Nov 11. I think I have waited for this day my whole adult life and am so excited.

I'm not familiar with the 10% weightless goal.

My purpose was to not lose any weight before my insurance approved my surgery. I was too close to the cut off BMI of 35 . Any weight loss would result in a denial. Type 2 diabetes and fatty liver helped my cause. It's what's mainly driving my desire to get the sleeve. I weighted in at 213 just barely reaching the 35 BMI for my height! I wore my heaviest clothes and shoes! ?

Were you required to lose 10%? Is that set by the surgeon or insurance? I know it's not the same for everyone. My nutritionist said that I will be required to do the 2 weeks of liquid, but allowed one low carb meal a day. Fortunately, since the insurance already approved the surgery I don't have to worry about losing. Yay!
