Newbie - Surgery Scheduled For October

[jeriberi 7]

I officially scheduled my surgery date after 2 yrs of considering the surgery. I have never been so sure of my decision. This site is wonderful and so informative. Thank you everyone for sharing your stories and for all the information!

glad you are going to have your WLS after 2 years going back and forth

the sleeve is a terrific tool that will help you lose weight, and as long as you do everything correctly, you - and me will maintain our weight loss and feel better forever, and ever.

everybody on the board is wonderful - helpful, informative - you need to ask all your questions, and you'll get the answers you were looking for - sometimes it might be "go see your dr."

once again official welcome to sleeveland

good luck

When's your date in October? I just scheduled mine today and I'm 10/31. A little nervous about having it on Halloween, but there you go!

I'm scheduled for the 29th. I'm curious are you on a pre-op diet? My first month I had to supplement a meal with Protein shake. I'm guessing this week it will be two a day. Not sure about 4 wks before but I'll know this week. Don't worry about Halloween, but I get it. lol we will do great!

My pre-op diet doesn't start until 2 weeks prior to surgery. It is:

Protein shake for Breakfast

Protein Shake and small piece of fruit for lunch

Lean dinner- sandwich with lean meat, 1 cup vegetables
