OK....this may sound like a real "big gul" but my preop diet starts Friday....so does that mean to live life (eat) 2 the fullest?!?!?! ...IJS lol

Good Luck Kelew!! My 2wk diet starts Friday out of all days..right before the wkd!!...keep us posted on how it goes

My preop is 2 protein shakes a day 1 meal of 4oz meat, 1cup veggies, 1cup of fruit w/out skin, n no more than 2 snacks ( sf jello/popsicle) a day

Ok fellow sleevers, I need assistance please... I need to start taking vitamins pre not post op....are there any suggestions on which ones 2 buy???

Hello my Fellow Afro American Sleevers!! I sleep, eat, and drink having this sleeve done!!!! Omg!! Well I've gone thru all the necc steps and have approval, my Surgery date is 10/10 and I start my 2wk pre op 09/26/14...im excited and freaking out at the same time, but all in all im ready for this change. My current fear is skin sagging and butt deflating. I have a large body frame so me being my current weight im still in a size 18 so I just hope and pray that ill just deflate the excess and keep my curvy figure LOL!! I do wish you all the best on your journey to a better you!!

I bought Body Fortress today at Walmart for 16.98

October 10 , Houston TX

I bought chocolate I'll probably invest in chocolate pb also

I should b reading Nutrition Labels 4 Dummies. .lol... I read n it's 30g per scoop, silly me...Now I just hope the taste is tolerable. ..I also purchased Premiere shakes which I was told are good

Ok now I'm thinking I should take it back Bcuz it has 60g protein per scoop 2.5g fat 7g carbs I don't wanna over do it

Has anyone used this for pre n post op diet have any suggestions?

Hi Marilyn, Most everyone has to have a EGD done when having the sleeve. I had mine done on 08/06/14 and it was very very simple. You go, they give you an IV, roll you back to a room where you see this big screen like TV, the anesthesiologist then says they are about to give you meds and it may burn a lil...30secs after saying that I was out like a light and was awaken by the nurse about 15mins later in recovery...lol you wont remember or feel a thing. Its for them to see if you have any pre existing problems like H. Pylori, hiatal hernia, etc...I ended up having gastritis but that wont hinder surgery.
