Sorry that was supposed to say lost 30 pounds

Yes!!! I was sleeved on June 30 and I have most 30 pounds...I have started itching like crazy and have the same eczema looking rash on certain spots of my body. I have no clue why. I know sometimes when you gain/loose weight rather fast and your skin stretches or shrinks it can cause your skin to itch. I don't know what to do or put on it?

Tomorrow is the day!! The house is cleaned, all laundry is done, went to the store and stocked up for myself and then the hubby and kids...I'm all packed and ready to go...I think :/ my nerves have been on a roller coaster of emotions today. I have been reading too many posts about leaks today and I'm just trying to stay positive. I wish everyone the best of luck and lots of prayers are sent your ways from Texas. Here's to a better us

Just got my phone call with the time of my surgery on Monday June 30...I'm the last case for the day and my surgery is at 3:45 pm and I have to be there by noon! YIKES that's late!! Getting so nervous :/

what other things do you have through out the day? They want me to have atleast 700 calories and I'm having such a hard time even getting the calories but am doing ok on protein and my water. I have 6 days left this is a struggle

what type of protein drinks are you on and how many calories and grams of protein does your doctor require you to follow on the pre-op?

Does anyone's doctors want you to have a certain calorie intake on the pre-op diet? Mine wants me to have between 700-900 and I'm having such a hard time. I'm doing pretty well with protein intake...I'm just so ready for the next week to fly by!

KQH Wow that's awesome!!!

@@getnhealthyintx did you have to have atleast a certain number of calories to meet? I'm doing fairly well on my protein but my nut says I need atleast 700 calories and that's what's hard for me

Hello everyone! I'm June 30 as well and having surgery in Houston, Texas...good luck to everyone. I'm in day 4 of my 2 week liquid diet and it's rough so far

Hello to all! My surgery is June 30 in Houston and today is my 4th day on my 14 day pre-op liquid diet...I'm already miserable! The sweet shakes are getting to me and I want something different. I tried the Unjury chicken soup and it was ok. My doctors office gave me 2 huge bags of Bariatric Advantage powders. But I like the ready to drink Atkins and Pure Protein much better. I emailed my NUT today and she is concerned that in order to get the amounts I need the Pure Protein is too much. It's 23 grams a can and 120 calories. They are requiring me to get in atleast 700 calories. My protein intake isn't the problem it's getting all the calories as well without having too much protein...any suggestions and anything else besides the sweet shakes? Thanks in advance ????

I'm so tired of all the sweet shakes on the pre-op diet. I'm on day 4 of 14...does anyone else have any suggestions. I tried the Unjury chicken soup and it was ok...

I'm on day 4 of my pre-op diet and I'm so hungry I have actually cheated a couple time with like a piece of lunch meat or cheese. My doctor gave me a 2 week supply of the Bariatric Advantage protein powders and I have to say either the Adkins or the Pure Protein ready to drink shakes are so much easier. Several people have told me the 2 week pre-op diet is one of the hardest parts because after surgery you really don't want to eat...I hope they are right. It's also hard having a husband and 2 kids eat whatever they want and have to sit here and smell it...I just keep telling myself next year at this time will be so worth it. Good Luck to everyone! My surgery is June 30 in Houston

ChristmasJanet thank you so much and best of luck to you as well. I'm on day 4 of the pre-op liquid diet and I keep telling myself this has got to get better lol...I just keep thinking after surgery I won't want to eat so I feel like it will be easier. It's hard having a husband and 2 kids being able to eat what they want. I just smell it all and imagine how good it tastes but how it's not good for me and the hunger will pass after awhile lol

Hello from Texas! I'm new to this and feel so overwhelmed but I have also learned so much from reading everyone's post. My surgery is scheduled for June 30 in Houston and I'm on day 3 of my pre-op liquid diet. I feel like this is going to be the hardest part. Any suggestions or helpful tips to get through the pre-op stage?
