I feel your pain. I am on for tomorrow too. I am taking my computer to so if we are up for it we can compare notes. Best of luck to you.

strawberry sorbet is great -- I love the soup I mix it first in warm Water and then add hotter slowly and it does not congeal unflavored is great in apple sauce and pudding

Try to get a good nights sleep.....we can catch up on the other side.Remember sip sip sip walk walk walk!! It will all be behind us soon. later suzylou out

I would work with both MD's as you come off your meds. My general opinion is if you get more than 2 MD's on one case assume they are not speaking to each other about you until proven otherwise (sorry--my apologies to any docs in the crowd). The potassium was likely originally prescribed because you were put on a diuretic if you are taking the Potassium but not the diuretic your potassium could get too high. That would not cause your low energy level though.

Welcome ....sorry no help on the ins question but there is a wealth of knowledge in this group. I get sleeved on 3/1, good luck.

2bslimkim-- Enjoy your posts. We are similar in size and your surgery is one day before mine I am 3/1 in St. Louis. It is interesting to see how different all the preop instructions are. Mine said I did not have to do liquid before OR a bowel prep. I opted to self impose both as I don't want anything lingering around in there for days.....sorry tmi.....I don't think the broth will hurt you. Keep in touch---cant wait until they give us our adult beverages back----when they do let's have a virtual cocktail!! also the citrate of mag was not bad did it yesterday

low potassium can cause leg cramps......I would let your dr know they might want to check your levels--I have not had surgery yet so I dont know if they routinely check it before hand.....not sure if the pickle juice has Potassium in it or not.......it might

Have you tried the cheeze chips there is recipe on eggface you just melt chese on parchment paper and dry out. WaaLaaa low carb chip. Whole Foods also has some made from Parmasan but they are pricey. Also, I saw on a YouTube post that someone recommended these toddler chese treats that were low carb and were like cheetoes.

wow!! great results for 6 months. I have surgery on 3/1 and hope I can report similar results in September when six months will be behind me. Can you tell me what your post op plan was like and how you achieved your results??

I am scheduled for March 1. No pre-op diet was required but I am trying to stay with soups liquids and protein shakes. I was on the HMR diet required by our insurance for 3 months preop but my MD does not require a specific pre op for his sleeves.

I am new to group too. Surgery date 3/1. Busy getting everything ready.
