I'm scheduled for gastric sleeve on August 25th. Today is the first day of my 2week pre op diet. I still have to go to Boot Camp (a meeting to go over things and ask final questions with a nurse) then my last visit with the Dr. And take a test???? Very last thing will be a final blood test and get my time for surgery. I am so excited to get on with the rest of my life. I am 64, start weight 241 and 5'2". Oh and 24 hours before surgery a liquid diet. I'm glad I found this app. Michele

My gastric sleeve surgery is scheduled for August 25th. I begin my pre-op diet tomorrow which is a high protein low carb diet. I can't drink during a meal or 30 minutes after. No ban on coffee, only carbonated drinks. My liquid diet is for 24 hours before surgery. After reading some of the other posts I think I have it easy. Anyone know why this is? I'm 64 yo, and weigh 240lb at 5'2. I can't wait to meet the new me. I am so happy I found this app. Michele

I only have to do 24 hours of liquid diet. I wonder why. My surgery is scheduled for August 25th. I have to do a low carb, low calorie, high protein diet for two weeks. Michele

I took those pills that kept you from absorbing the fat. (Forget the name, they eventually became over-the-counter). Anyway hair loss was a side effect of those too. My hair is already thin so I stopped dying it and it's short I'll probably have to go bald. Lol. I think it has to so with the protein. Michele

I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. The nutritionist said to think of it as a modified Atkins. My surgery is scheduled for August 25th. I am excited to meet the new me. I hope your journey gets a little easier. Good luck. Michele
