Hi dear! Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I am bigger than most of those posting here, too, I am on my pre-op liquid diet right now for surgery on the 1st of October. Just remember that size is relative to everyone posting here - we just need the community support of those that are in similar positions. I wish you well on your surgery - You are gonna rock it! . You are not alone I'm 387!!! But not much longer:)))

Its great to read all the October posts! Good luck to everyone!!

So far I have

two bottles liquid multivits with minerals' date=' walgreens brand, got a thumbs up from the Nut

I bottle of calcium citrate chewables ( my nut said Calcium gluconate is not absorbed after sleeve)

Abdominal binder

4 bottles of Isopure, my surgeon wants only 20g of Protein a day the first week of clear liquid diet (3 1/2 bottles)

I know it's a little yucky, but if I dilute 1/2 bottle in 36oz of Water with crystal light, its ok

Crystal light boxes

Several cans of Protein Drinks, to start, pure protein, 35 g per 12 oz for week 2 (told only 60g of protein for the second week)

Also have some protein power from Bariatric Advantage

And chicken creamy Soup from same

Maybe I'll buy some Unjury

Nothing much else i figure I'll deal with mushies and soft food weeks when I get there

I am not going to spend too much money on stuff I may not be able to drink

I am having sirgery at 8 am and am expected to be discharged the following night

I am taking 10 days off hopefully
