Jinx. Mine is 12/4 too. Super excited and a bit impatient.

Pretty worried about the 2 weeks liquid diet prior to surgery. I guess it’s good practice? And ideas on food/drinks to have? Any good tips?

Hi KimmyKaye!!

I look forward to following your journey!

How are you feeling about it? x

Hi NeedtoLoseWeight

Yay! Same date as me!

I don't have a liquid diet prior to surgery mine is 2weeks of 1000 calories a day.

I'm apprehensive about the post op 4 week liquid diet though!. Has your surgeon team given you an idea of what you can have liquid wise that will still fill you up?

Oh yay. Can’t wait!
No they haven’t but I’ve got an appointment with dietitian next week and hopefully get an idea. I have bought some protein shakes and meal replacements to help with liquid diet.

Hello everyone, I just got told today my duodenal switch surgery is April 5th. I finally got my surgery date. It may be a while. But it will be here before I know it. My high protein low carb diet starts March 22nd. Can't wait to get started. Can't wait to get to know all of you.

I dislike having to get my ducks in a row yet before surgery. Setting up my time off with HR, doing the last minute stuff that needs to be done. Otherwise, very excited to start a new chapter in my life. I've been overweight since birth, quite seriously. I was 2 ounces shy of 12 pounds. To be honest, I don't hold out much hope of never being overweight, but getting out of obese and morbidly obese categories thrills me. Don't get me wrong, I am in this 100% and plan to do my very best. Just hard to imagine me not being "me" if that makes sense?

Hoping and praying to FINALLY get my surgery date for April. A lot of push back since COVID struck up again. Fingers crossed.

Congratulations to those who have a date!!! Looking forward to all your journeys!

My first post… my gastric sleeve date is April 8 and I’m really nervous. I also have Crohns and I’m worried I will have issues with the 3 weeks of slim time.
anyone have good recipes for slim time?

So happy to have found you all!

I'll be praying for you that you get yours done in April. Where are you from and what surgery are you getting done for your weight loss? Congrats on getting this far pre-op!

Nice to meet you, SleeveApril82022. My surgery date is April 5th. My sister has Crohn's and didn't know if she could have the surgery or not. I asked one of the other surgeons in my weight loss clinic if she was cleared to have surgery with Crohn's, and he said it shouldn't be a problem. But, finally hearing from someone who has it too, I can now tell my sister she is good to go on getting the surgery. Have you asked your dietitian about what to eat during slim time?
