My Surgery Date (Sleeve) is 7th of October. Starting weight is 122.5kg (270lbs) As far as I know, that's the highest I've ever been.

Weight loss since starting pre-op diet: 10.4 kg (22.9 lbs)

Weight loss on Surgery Date: TBD

starting weight 274

hi and welcome, my surgery day is 10/29 and I have my pre-admission appt on Thursday, is that when they gave you instructions on when to start your pre op diet?

Yes that’s when I got mine then I went to my nutrition class to go over what we can and can’t have with the pre op diet

ok then I'm going to prepare myself for that on Thursday, are you ready to start your pre op diet have you bought everything you need?

Yes I went yesterday and got my protein drinks but I didn’t buy a lot of premier protein because the last ones I tried I didn’t like so that way if I don’t like them I can try another brand. I just forgot the broth so I’m going to go today to buy some.

sounds good, i have heard that bone broth is good .

Hi y’all
I talked with my nutritionist this morning for the last time before sleeve surgery 10/21. One more telehealth appointment with surgeon …then appointment 10/14 for anesthesia clearance and then ….anyway starting today pre op diet, if I can get to the store for shakes. I live in SE Florida? Planning what to do? Stay or leave?
How are any of you doing with your pre op diet? Mine is 3 shakes and a little meal for dinner a day. Water! Until the day before surgery.

That's great to hear! I took a 45 minute walk today, but my belly dragging made it uncomfortable so I think I need a tighter t shirt! New NSV today! My watch fits in the 4th hole instead of the third hole! The little things get me through lately.

i had my preadmission class yesterday and they spoke about what we can and can't have as well. they don't do the two-week liquid diet before they just have a green and lean diet basically healthy eating that we must do before the surgery and the liquid diet 2 weeks post op. my date is 10/29 so start the diet Monday. they gave us two shakes one we have to take 12 hours before surgury time and the other 3 hours prior to surgery . the day before surgery we can have a liht breakfast and after 12 noon all liquids .

Hey there! Just had surgery on the 9th.

I had my surgery on the 9th. Hello to everyone

Hi! My surgery was October 1. I am probably the oldest on here. 66. My weight the day of surgery was 279. I need a group of fellow sleeve peeps. I’m not on FB, so I’m looking for alternative forums. Good luck, everybody. Let’s do this!
