charchar 7 Posted September 19, 2012 Hello my date is oct 11th and just wondering how many day off will I need for this because I haven't told anyone at work about it or my family in fact Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frenchi 1 Posted September 19, 2012 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. I hope to hear about everyones success stories as hopefully my future posts will be successful as well. Good luck everyone. 1 Banned member reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weight right now is 215lbs. Start my 2 week liquid diet October 1st. I reside in Rock Hill, South Carolina and will be having the surgery at Presbyterian Main in Charlotte, NC with Dr. Voellinger. [/quote'] 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!) 1 kmoore reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buckeye_girl40 203 Posted September 19, 2012 @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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveandRNYchica 1,155 Posted September 19, 2012 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> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ecannizz 5 Posted September 19, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
