I too am having surgery August 9th close enough for a buddy lol. On my pre op...handling it pretty well...not gonna lie tummy gets it's rumbling moments cuz it's hungry lol

I'm getting my sleeve done at st Josephs hospital in Chicago

I'm the 9th also!!

I've been prepping a year..have the same date[emoji4]

That's my date as well sleeve sister [emoji4]

bone broth, homemade chicken broth, sf jello, protein shakes, protein drinks water water water tea. thats about it

I have the same surgery date...started my pre op Monday

Quest is really good I use it with unsweetened almond milk

Obesity action coalition has grants for people in need...also check wlsa website they help as well

I have a protein shake in the morning, water, protein drink (water based) , water, sf gum, sf jello, water, protein shake, sf jello. thats just at work lol. at home homemade chicken broth, sf pudding made with unsweetened almond milk (as my protein shakes are made of as well). and a protein shake before bed. i have a bad habit of waking up and going to the fridge around 2-3 am so i just grab a mini jello. I dont feel too hungry but i notice where my bad habits come in. boredom, tv, those are kind of snacking times. The only issue I am having really is my sugars....I am diabetic and i pretty much stopped taking my insulin because my sugars plummeted so low i got in a danger zone once. I dont want to go there again. gum helps alot lol

mine is exactly in 2 weeks aug 9th. im on the 3rd day of strictly liquids and down 12pounds. i dont have too much support but the ones i do are all for it. i guess they see how unhappy and constantly sick i am. its exciting to get a fresh start

So is mine I got bumped from July 26 to August 9th [emoji4]

I have the same problem I don't get too many responses

IM AUGUST 9TH RIGHT BEHIND YOU BOTH LOL BUDDIES NEEDED

IM ON MY 2ND DAY AS WELL... I CANT WAIT TO GET IT DONE. I FEEL LIKE IM GONNA FLOAT AWAY WITH ALL THESE LIQUIDS.

i didnt think we were allowed popcorn?

im aug 9 also. just started my pre op diet yesterday

Do you consider it the same if someone had the lap band removed in 2010 and is now going for the sleeve?

My surgery date is August 9th at St Joseph's in Chicago with Dr Lutfi. Today is the first day of my pre op liquid diet. Im really hoping i can do this. Originally my date was July 26 but they had to change the date. I was a lot more confident before but now im a nervous wreck. I just turned 50 single mom of 4 and grandma of 2. only one left in the house.

I take 1000 mg twice daily and for diabetes.....jello on a daily basis will also help and watch ur nails grow as well

I've been taking metformin for over 10 years and no hair loss...on the contrary I have hair down to my waist lol you are lacking something in your diet. Try biotin or pre natal vitamins...you don't have to be prego to take them...you will notice a difference...

Mine is that date too [emoji4]

We are gonna be sleeve sisters [emoji4]

Just focus on the end result....u are getting a do over...to become a healthier u...pray for God to bless the surgeons hands while he is operating on u...and for nurses to be patient and in tune to ur needs [emoji120]

I got bumped to August 9th I start my pre op Monday...good luck to u blessings
