My doctor had me start changing my diet after I saw him in August. I don't have to do any special diet before. I changed my eating habits actually on my own before I saw my surgeon. I've been following clean eating and I've been free from soft drinks for 4 whole months and do not ever plan on going back to them. I've lost 22 pounds so far. I'm excited about getting sleeved. I find it most encouraging hear of everyone else's stories and achievements. I thank you for sharing!

You look great! I can really see the difference. Keep up the great work! I cannot wait until my surgery date of 11/1.

I'm on 11/1. Cannot wait. I'm soooooooo ready.

Congrats!

Awe...don't feel bad. Just keep trying. Maybe you can add one of the Torani flavors to it such as caramel, hazalnut, or vanilla. Some say they have tried that which make it better for them. Plus they are sugar free.

I'm Nov 1st too! My pre-op diet consist of eating lean meats and veggies. Lost a few pounds too. Cut out drinking soft drinks going on 4 months. Excited but anxious! We are almost to the losers bench. Yay!

Scheduled for 11/1. Excited! ????

Congrats! ????

Congrats! I know you are soooo glad it's getting done this year.

I tried Premier Protein and it taste like drinking a milk shake. It's really good.

That is great! I am so glad to hear that.

You are now on the losers bench. Cannot wait until I get there. How is taking in liquids?

I have bcbs hra plan. I only had 1 nutrition appointment and get cleared by her and I was. I got my date after my surgeons office got my psych eval, sleep dr clearance, md's clearance/recommendation, and history of weight. My surgeons office submitted my paperwork last Monday and it was approved the next day.

Awe man that sucks. I can understand wanting to get it done this year. I hope you can get in and get it scheduled for this year.

I am so glad I don't have to do the liquid diet before. But I've been thinking about doing it for 2 weeks prior to surgery.

Were they all booked up? When I had my appointment I called in July and saw the nutritionist in August. I love Dr P. Very good doctor and his staff is great. My surgery date was changed to 11/1. The surgery will be in Charlotte.

Congrats! I wish you all best. You'll be on the losers bench sooner than you know it.

My surgeon has his patients to start their pre-op diet right away after we see the nutritionist. We eat lean meats, fruits, veggies. We can have oatmeal too. But we don't do any liquid diet. We start our liquids right after surgery.

I wish you all the best too!!! My doctor had me on a pre-op diet since I first saw him. It basically consist of making changes to your diet now such as not drinking soda or sugary drinks, eating lean meats, and taking in at least 64 ounces of water. I had already started doing that already. I've lost 22 pounds so far. I know some people have to do a liquid diet before. My doctor don't require that. He has the other diet to help you adopt healthy habits now.

My surgery got changed to 11/1. I am in Charlotte, NC. I am looking forward to the surgery. I've been feeling very emotion the last day or two. I guess that is normal. I am excited and nervous.

That was awesome!

I plan on doing this over the next few weeks up until my surgery on 11/1. I definitely want a reminder of where I came from. And I plan on taking pictures during my journey as I lose.
