Hello everyone! I'm 32, 2 kiddos, military spouse, and will be sleeved on October 3. I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow and I'm super excited, but super nervous at the same time. Hubby doesn't want me to get this done, but still stands by me (I'm blessed to have such an awesome guy). My surgeon is Dr. Harnisch at BAMC at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. I'm ready to commit to this 2 week pre-op diet without hurting anyone. :blink: I hope to hear about everyones success stories as hopefully my future posts will be successful as well. Good luck everyone. :D

Awesome! Welcome! We're sleeve-twins. I'm the 15th as well, but with Dr Heider at Lake Norman. I'll be recovering close to you - in Belmont!

I drove past Rock Hill last week on my way to/from Charleston for a 5-day cruise on Carnival's Fantasy. Didn't realize there was a Groucho's in RH until I started looking for one to stop at for lunch (ended up stopping at the one in Blythewood). Got so excited there was one is one in RH & thought I could go with Dad next time I was in Belmont - until I realized I don't have any time left before my surgery. 2 weeks of Optifast starts Sept 30 & I won't be back in CLT before then!! (anyway, sorry to ramble. Welcome!)

@skinnyminnie2be try increasing your Water consumption also if you're working out with weights this will cause you to gain muscle weight.... I would stick to walking for exercise until after surgery

My NUT told me not to work out during this time. I am not sure how many calories I am getting. I have 2 cups of Soup liquid after being cooked, blendedn and strained for lunch and dinner. I have two glucerna's a day and juice all natural squeezed twice a day. The rest is liquids, I drink Water. I am allowed 1 yogurt or ice cream low fat or sugar free.< /p>

Hi everyone!

I'm new here. I just got my surgery date on Monday and I'm having my sleeve done October 10th. I'm 25, married, no kids (none planned) and I'm very excited to begin this journey but also extremely nervous. My mom just had gastric bypass 2 1/2 months ago and so we're sort of going through this journey together. I'm 250 right now and hope to lose 110-120 pounds. I only have to do one day of liquid diet and they'd like me to lose 5-10 pounds before the surgery date. Good luck everyone!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
