I go in tomorrow to, I have to be at the hospital at 5 am. I am 80 pounds away from my goal. I typed ticker n the search bar and that took me to a link where I was able to add my ticker.

I'm ready!!

How has your preop diet been so far, I was fine with it until the 2nd week. How are the bariatric advantage shakes?

I'm having my surgery on Monday and planning a trip to Cabo in December. I previously went to Cabo with a friend who was about 6 months post-op. There were plenty of food choices for him. For breakfast he was able to get eggs and bacon from the buffet. The majority of his other meals consisted of shrimp or chicken. On the one occasion he ordered chicken fettuccine he picked out the chicken and only ate a few of the noodles. Drinking wise he stuck mainly to vodka and had several drinks during our trip. Because of all the walking and swimming we did he still managed to loose a few pounds while we were there. Hope you have a great trip!

Congratulations!

My surgery is inpatient. I go in at 5:30 am on Monday. My doctor says most of his patients stay in the hospital about 24 hours. My surgeon didn't order any meds for before surgery. I also ordered some syntax nectar, I have the strawberry kiwi and unflavored protein. I really like the strawberry kiwi!

I am also having my surgery on the 12th. Mine is in Palo Alto, CA. I am 1 week into my pre-op liquid diet.

Congratulations! You look great!

Congratulations! I have my surgery on March 12th and also started my pre-op diet. I'm soo excited to get through these 2 weeks, hopefully it goes fast for both of us.

I keep telling myself skinny by summer too. My surgery is scheduled for March 12th and I want to be able to wear a bathing suit by June.

This sounds great, I would love the recipe.

I start my liquid diet tomorrow, but my surgery isn't for 2 more weeks. Good luck! Hopefully it goes quickly for you.

My first appointment with my surgeon was December 18th. My surgery is scheduled for March 12th. The approval from my insurance only took 3 days. Between my first appointment and now I completed all the pre-op testing, had a psych eval and met with my nutritionist twice. Good luck!

I am having my surgery on March 12th and would love to have someone to talk to through this journey.
