First time posting, I finally got my approval call and letter. Surgery is scheduled for May 4, 2017, I am excited and of course nervous as ever Surgery is 64 days away

Chew chew chew though.. never really practiced that. What's there to 'chew chew chew' in scrambled eggs? (I do that for kale though). I've been able to follow the 'no drinking while eating' instructions, mostly because I eat my proteins with vegetable stew.. [emoji3]

I am feeling the same right now. I am scheduled for tomorrow morning. I believe this feeling is completely normal. I can't wait to share my experience with you all.

Drinking during meals is my big one too. I've done my best to stop. While it hasn't been 30 mins before/after, it's been usually at least 15.

My md and nut discourage juicing. They explained it to me to get enough juice for a serving you'd have to put in 5 or more pieces of fruit. You can't eat those 5 pieces of fruit but because you are juicing them you can drink them. Therefore drinking the calories, sugar and everything else involved with those fruits. I'm sure I didn't explain it as well as they did for me but I hope that makes sense.

Lol! Transformation

I've gotten everything completed and just did my sleep study the 22nd and have surgery date for March 28th.

@alli.wakefield my story is almost the exact same as yours. I got my bad in the same year and everything. I had the revision to the sleeve done on December 27,2016. I feel like it was the best decision I could have made. I had severe reflux with the band, but not with the sleeve. I can eat healthier foods, that got stuck with the band. My weight at surgery was 332 and I am at 297 as of today. I have lost 35lbs in a little under 2 months. I truly couldn't be happier with my decision. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

My nutritionist gave me a very detailed list of what I can eat the two weeks pre op. It consists basically of five meals a day and you pick something from each column until you have had your five meals. Two columns are basically shakes one column is specific Protein bar and I ther column is 4 oz lean protein and veggies . The list is very specific on brand and quantity allowed . The same with post op up till day 50 only specific foods for each stage ie liquid, soft food mushy foods etc . Only eat what is listed nothing else
