I currently live in Charlotte, NC with a very supportive partner and I was hoping there was an LGBT community here! This is only my second post on the site, the other was my introduction. My surgery is scheduled for 9/26/2011 and I am so looking forward to continuing this journey. Look forward to sharing my progress with you all.

How exciting!! Congratulations! I will be joining you on Monday, 9/26, YAYYY! I hope I can be as strong as you!

Hi all, I started my 2 week pre-op diet on yesterday, 9/12. My surgery is scheduled for the 26th, woo hoo!! The thing is, I'm not having any problem with this diet, I haven't been starving, I was even full after lunch yesterday and dinner last night. Wanted to check with those of you that have already been through this to make sure I am doing this right. The calorie goal is 1300/day, with 100grams or less of carbs and 90 to 120 grams of Protein, no sugars. This is what I had yesterday: Breakfast: Protein shake (powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate splendor, with Silk light chocolate) and a sugar free vanilla pudding cup. Lunch: Protein shake (Unjury strawberry sorbet with water), whole cucumber, 4 baby carrots, 1sugar free chocolate pudding Dinner: Protein shake (Unjury vanilla with silk light chocolate milk) 3oz of grilled tilapia and 1 cup of edamame. Snack: Protein shake (body fortress Cookies and cream with lactaid milk) and 1 Sugar Free Chocolate pudding cup Drinking about four or more 16.9 bottles of Water per day, mostly mixed with propel zero. As you can see, I love my pudding cups : )...Does this sound like too much? I thought i would be starving but I'm not so wanted to see what you all thought. Thanks for any input...

oh and 'hidding' means 'heading'....LOL.

Hi immeagain!! Thanks for responding! Your menu looks delicious...I see that you are including squash and zucchini, are those non-starchy vegetables, I wasn't sure? If they are non-starchy, I will definitely be hidding to the grocery store today! Good advice on practicing on my sips and taking tiny bites. Thats gonna be the hardest for me as I always, always gulp everything I drink. Good luck on your surgery, I know you will do great. Can't wait to hear how it goes!

Hello everyone, I've actually been following or reading the tremendously helpful information that is provided in this forum for awhile now. I started my journey towards a healthier me around May of this year. About 2 weeks ago, I received my insurance approval and my surgery date. I am so excited and nervous at the same time that I'm afraid I might blow a gasket before my surgery ! Just wanted to take this moment to thank everyone who contributes to this forum because the information you all provide is invaluable to anyone considering sleeve surgery or any WLS. Looking forward to posting updates on my progress! Until later....
