I wouldn't have cabbage. I'd be afraid of the gas. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

You'll do great. I understand the panic attacks. I have a 2 week pre-op diet I started last Thursday. 12 more days to go for me. Let us know how you're doing. If you see me panicking on Wednesday the 8th please remind me what I said. Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

I use my Premiere Protien shake as a creamer in my decaf coffee. On my plan I can count decaf coffee as liquid.

I went to my Primary doc. He gave me a referral to bariatrics. I then got a call from them to come to an orientation class. After that I had appointment with Nutritionist, psychologist and the surgeon. I had to track my food for a week. Stay at 1200 calories and share this with Nutritionist. I saw the psychologist and she required that I attend 6 Mindful Eating classes. In Modesto they are offered once every week.The surgeon required that I lose 10#''s. Once I finished all of that I called the bariatrics department and got a date for a physical and blood work. I was only required to get an EKG. I now see the surgeon on the 31st to finalize what type of surgery I'm having (sleeve). I have my surgery on 2/9 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

How are you doing? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

Had my pre-op physical and ekg today. It was good. I started pre-op diet today. I can't believe we're only two weeks out. I can see the losers bench

Thank you for sharing your journey. You are inspiring.

Try to stay off the scale. I picked up a tip here several months ago that I am going to do. The tip is to remove scale from home for first month. If you're finding that weighing daily is discouraging you don't do it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

I start mine tomorrow the 26th. I'm looking forward to be on the loser's bench. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

I'm February 9th too. 5"3 224.

Hello Everyone, My post- op diet starts Thursday. 800 daily calories no fruit no sugar no starches. High protien low carb. I hadn't read my bariatric folder since September. Last night I reread it. I was shocked to see that for the first 2 weeks I'm only allowed 1 1/2 premier Protein shakes and of course 64 ounces of Water or no calorie drink. I sent my nutritionist an email asking about soups, sf popsicles, sf pudding. Fresno Kaiser does not want us eating any of that Starting 3rd week I move to soft foods. No puree stage. It sure is strange how different bariatric surgery requirements are from surgeon to surgeon. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

I'm on the 9th too! Seems like forever still! Good luck! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Me too

I experienced a rash reaction from surgical tape after having my gallbladder removed. It was about a week after the surgery when it really started to itch. Go see your primary doctor. He/she will be able to help you the best. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

I start mine one Thursday. Mine is 800 calorie a day. No sugar starches low carb high protien for two weeks. Good luck. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

I believe the thread is called January and February sleevers. I am getting my sleeve done on Feb. 9th. I start my pre-op diet on the 26th. I'm excited one minute and nervous the next. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

You look amazing. Congratulations. Keep up the good work Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

Have you tried upping your calorie intake? Are you getting your fluids? Are you eating "good" calories ( high protien low carb)? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

Call your surgeon.

Maybe try asking for a to go container when the waitstaff serves you. That way you could put most of your meal in the container. That might help avoid the attention over not eating

I haven't had my surgery yet. That said. I notice that when I have breakfast within the 1st hour after waking I feel better and I lose weight. Eating breakfast was one of the things my nutritionist wanted me to incorporate into my diet. I now have a Premier Protien shake most days for breakfast. Been doing this since October.

There is a diet version of cranberry juice. Dilute it with water. Is ok on my plan

Congratulations. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App
