WOW! You look amazing!!! How much have you lost?

Good luck!! I'm scheduled for surgery on July 30th.

These are very good and I love that their made with stevia.

WOW!! 41 pounds that's great!!! Keep up the good work. Great job.

I love ham and turkey wrapped in lettuce with cheese. Very yummy. ????

Most fruits are high in carbs. Maybe try cutting back on the fruit and add more veggies and protein. Also check the carbs and sugar in your yogurt.

Process has been fairly easy. I started my pre-op diet last week. He required 1 week of 2 shakes, 2 crisp Snacks and 1 lean and green meal. On Wednesday I'll start 5 liquid shakes until the day before my surgery on July 30th. Good luck!!!

I agree with @@Kindle and @@Babbs . Run from the bread and processed food. My doctor's plan doesn't allow fruit except for berries occasionally with Protein. My body doesn't process the carbs and sugar from the fruit. He told me an apple is equivalent to a small ice cream Sunday. Now I understand why I was gaining weight when I was having a fruit smoothie for breakfast everyday. Take one day out of the week to meal plan so that you aren't tempted to make an unhealthy choices. Good luck!!! You can do this.

I use My Fitness Pal also but it doesn't like my low calorie intake since I started my pre-op diet. ???? wish there was a food and weight tracker just for bariactric patients.

Very informative!!! Thanks for sharing!!

Will be sleeved and gallbladder removed on July 30th. I was wondering about the down time. Thanks for asking! I still have not figured out how to start a topic ????????

I have BCBS of NC and the process has been really easy.

I did start me liver reduction diet. I think I'm going to look in to finding a protein shake with more protein than the one that I am currently using because I'm finding myself still being hungry throughout the day. How long does your surgeon require for you to be on the liver reduction diet? I'm on day 6 of 14! He's requiring 2 weeks. I officially start Wednesday but decided to go ahead and start today. I cut coffee out 3 weeks ago ???????????? and started cutting back so that it wouldn't be a huge a adjustment. ????

@@LittleMissCopular My doctor is Dr. Jon Bruce. ????

Wilson on July 30th - surgery is in Raleigh.

I had my first appointment on 4/22 and my surgery is scheduled for July 30th. I was approved in early June but due to other commitments I can't have surgery until July 30th. I have BCBS of NC.

My surgery is scheduled for July 31st. My letter from the surgeon said I would be out of work for 2 1/2 weeks but I'm also having my gallbladder removed the same day. I have to bring my own Isopure Protein drink for the first two days. I'm taking Chapstick, gown, robe, a good book and a pillow for the ride home. Have you started the liver reduction diet? What WLS? Good luck with your surgery!!! Sorry I re-read your post. I'm also having sleeve surgery.

My surgery is scheduled for 7/31 but seems like my NUT told me no berries for 6 months because of the seeds.

Yes! It's approaching fast! Good luck and please keep in touch. When do you start your liquid diet?

Thanks for sharing. My surgery is scheduled for July 30th and they will also remove my gallbladder.

My surgery date is July 30th ????

Bariatric Advantage is my required by my doctor. I start my pre-op diet on the 14 and surgery on the 30th.

Scheduled for July 30th!!! Can't wait. ????
