@@shamale I'm doing good. Getting nervous. But ready. Don't worry about the anesthesia. Just let them know about getting sick and they can give you something. It will be fine!

@@shamale Me too!! Are you nervous! It hasn't really hit me yet! How's your pre op diet going?

Great ideas!!

@@Maggie Journey I lovr your profile picture. I just bought one! Too stinking cute!

@@kmorri This is awesome! Congrats!! You have a great pre op plan. I had 1 lean protein/veggie meal a day and let me tell you, I couldn't wait to cook my dinner and eat! Good luck! Are you have a food Funeral this weekend?? I went to some of my favorite places to eat before I started mine.

I am with you on the bowel issue! Mine was only for 1 day thankfully Good Luck!

PB2 is powder Peanut Butter. Healthier than regular. I only add a little to my Protein powder when I use it I the blender. Just for flavor. Hi Fab! I don't want to seem stupid, but I'm new to this site and I have no idea what pb2 is. Can you help? Thanks, Cassie What's a mugcake ? @@Stevehud I'm sorry I'm so new , I appreciate your help and time. I'm struggling with the shakes too.. My Nut says I can only have it mixed ONLY with Water ... I'm dying .. Help !! I bought Isopure zero carb in the Cookies and Cream flavor.I also don't know what "mugcake" means. Thanks for helping us newbies!

Woo hoo!

I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk and pb2. Makes vanilla or chocolate taste amazing! Add some ice and put in blender.

I'm doing better than I thought. Being able to have the lean protein and veggies meal has helped so much. I look forward to cooking dinner. Been chewing food really well and not drinking while eating to practice for after surgery. Good luck to you! How are you doing?

Thank you! I have Isopure black tea and New whey protein shots. Those were recommended by my dr.

I got the letter I was waiting for! Approved! I am so excited! I was worried that I did not provide enough documentation for them to do the pre authorization! I am floating on a cloud! I have Amerihealth NJ through Healthcare.gov. My surgeon is Dr Samir Patel at Atlanticare. He and his staff have been amazing! My surgery is set for May 2nd. Any May sleevers out there? I am going to be starting the pre op diet on Monday. It is 2 Protein shakes a day and 1 meal which consists of a protein and vegetables. Then the day before surgery it is clear liquids/proteins. Does anyone have any suggestions for the clear Proteins? And any suggestions for after when I can have the shakes/powders. I know this question has been asked several times already, sorry. I have so many things that I can not wait to be able to do after I reach my goal. Zip lining is number 1 Ok, I have rambled on enough. I hope to hear from the veterans and newbies with all of your suggestions! I have been reading posts on here for a few months and was waiting for approval and a surgery date before I actually joined in! So glad to have this forum for support! Cant wait to be on the losers bench! FabFemale aka Colleen

@taweedeegirl. Yes I am. Are you?

@@Womanvsmirror thank you! I am on a Facebook group but I'm not telling anyone so only in the group that is private. Do you know which they are?

May 2nd is soooo close! Just had my pre admission testing done. Now just counting down the days. Clear liquids day before. Treating myself to a pedicure and getting my nails done French (I have acrylic nails need to be clear color) maybe even get a facial! How's everyone doing? Anyone else having surgery on the 2nd? Am I the first loser of the May group?

Hoping your surgery was a success!

Thanks!! I'm so nervous! Pre op this week. Was hungry and had headache first day. Yesterday was better. Have my pre admissions testing tomorrow. Going to see the surgeon today. He has a 20 question test we have to pass or else no surgery! [emoji15]. Hugs back atcha! [emoji171]

@@lat72 do you have a pre op diet?

@@moni5855 I am doing good. I have 2 protein shakes and 1 meal with lean protein and veggies per day. I was very hungry the first day and had a headache. Actually went to bed early so I wouldn't be tempted to eat. Yesterday was better. I wasn't as hungry and no headache. I am being more mindful of how I chew my food and waiting a half hour before I eat and half hour after I eat to drink water. It is not an easy task since I am used to drinking while eating. How about you? Did you start? What's your plan?
