Ok guys so this past week was hell. I received a call from my surgeons office on Fridays saying that my PCP hadn't cleared me for surgery because my blood/iron levels were low. Needless to say I was livid!!! So I spoke with my PCP and she told me it would be better to wait several weeks to build back up reserves....several weeks!!! I told her I still wanted it done in June and that I would do what I needed to, to get my levels up, so I started taking my Iron pills twice a day along with eating red meat, liver veggies, raisins, and algae. Just had my blood drawn today wish me luck....tentative new date is June 11th Hello to all the June sleevers and please come back here and keep us posted on your journey!

Every surgeon doesn't require it...ur lucky!!

Squats, lunges

If you're starving eat a piece of meat or boiled egg or some string cheese I've had to do that and it won't hurt your weight loss

I would limit the veggies maybe and eat only protein maybe...veges have carbs (some less than others) the shakes only is a killer!!! But go ahead and give it a try..we are going to have to eat that way after surgery anyway

Wasn't bearable for me until around day 7

I'm sure it's frustrating...what type of a preop diet are you doing? I would try cutting carbs down to 20-40gms per day to speed up wait loss...I'm personally on the Protein shakes only and Im only eating about 20gm carbs a day.

I'm about 2 weeks into my preop diet (I started early) and all I've been craving is salty things I think to counteract the sweet of the shakes. I've been drinking a lot of broth which is surprisingly satisfying to curb my salt craving. Lost 12lbs in 2 weeks so I'm pretty happy

You're close to me I'm having mine at El Camino hospital in Mountain View with Dr Feng!!

Has anyone started their preop diet? What are your feelings? Experiences? How are you surviving it?

Congrats ms yoyo!!

Meant June sisters lol

Woohoo!!!! We will be June sleevers after all!!!

Chicken broth never tasted sooo good!!! This preop diet is kicking my butt....only 13 more days

I am a beast at work!!! This preop diet is killing me I'm super irritable and cranky

Congrats Karen we should all keep in touch as we progress on this journey

So i started my preop diet, surgeon wanted me to start early coz I've gained weight...so been drinking protein shakes all day and I'm so sick of it already (this is day 4) so to switch it up a little I'm having spicy kimchi broth for dinner yumm!! It really hit the spot!

Hey was initially going to have my surgery done with dr cirangle....but decided to change to Dr Feng of PAMF....should be an interesting watch
