Hey guys quick update. Surgery date June 7. 5 7 HW: 280 Pre-op W: 264 SW: 250 CW: 240 GW: 170 How are you guys doing?

I am craving chewing, soooo tired of liquids. Not really hungry to be honest, but really looking forward to the soft phase and be able to eat scrambled eggs.

I am day 5 as well, after I was able to get free from gas pain I stopped all medications. Pain is not too bad, it is worst when getting in and out of bed. Because of the gas pain I started to walk more frequently and as long as I needed. I am not feeling tired or lack of energy. I liked premier protein before when I used to drink the whole thing at once, sipping on it is horrible. My problem is that everything that is sugar free has a horrible after taste. I am also looking forward cottage cheese and eggs. I was just reviewing my phase 2 diet and I just found out that cottage cheese is allowed. Guess who is going to Publix tomorrow do some shopping.

Sleeved 2 days ago, struggling with gas pain.

Hello guys, had my surgery yesterday, the pain is real. Lots of pain, whatever blockers they object in my back did not work. Surgery went fine and besides pain I am all good.

June 7 here, tomorrow is my pre-op consult and tests. Pre-op diet is not as bad as I thought. Definitely food smell is the worst!!!

Hey guys, tomorrow is my pre-op consult. What should I expect? They only told me that would take several hours, and I would need some one with me.

Today is Day 5 on real pre op diet, has been a difficult day. Today is my day off, and I felt tiredness and hunger for the first time after starting the diet. Can’t wait to get back to work and keep my mind occupied.

I guess so, I hope he gets a good rest. 😃

The surgeon canceled all surgeries for that day.

My surgery got pushed to June 7 instead of 4th. I know is only 3 days but got a bit bummed out.

Look at that, one more for June 4th. How many people so far in her for June 4th?

Thank you, I believe that practice is key, I think studies show that it takes around 21 days of frequent behavior to create a habit. Might as well try to apply that to eating habits.

I started yesterday, well I kinda started last week but not as serious because was a bonus week I decided to do. On my pre op diet I am allowed 1 lean meal per day. A small salad with 3oz of lean protein, which makes so much easier. I tried to do only liquids last week and was much difficult. It feels good I am loosing weight and I feel more energized. The energized part I will attribute to a psychological effect... hahhaha

I used to take those diet pill with caffeine, but I stopped about a month ago. I stopped coffee last week, and I did go through the withdrawals. Just with the liquid diet some caffeine would help to get things going.

Hey guys, do you guys know how long before the surgery we are supposed to stop having caffeine?

I also told everyone, June 4th here we go!!!

I am June 4th as well, Orlando Fl.

I got mine on Amazon. I could not find anywhere.

I have heard from several people that gas-x strips are good for post op. I still need to clear with my doctor.

I am right there with you on June 4th.

Same here but only one week, but I am already doing it just in case.

Oh yes, but I know what I want and nothing will hold me back, not even myself. Hahaha

Have your doctors prescribed 1 or two weeks of liquid diet pre op?
