I am also on the 10th and I am getting nervous and anxious at the same time. I start my liquid 2 week diet, I have a bunch of appointments on Tuesday and a few more on the 4th. I wish a had a magic 8 ball that could tell me how i will look in about 1 year. I have to say that I am looking forward to looking sexy on my birthday in the summer!!! Right now I am about 250 and I am 5 ft 3- I pigged out for the past week so I may be more but I had to eat as much as I wanted to before my journey begins! To be honest , I would be happy around 180 but I am sure I will be smaller than that. I did the Protein sparing diet last year and I went from 240 to 164 in about 6 months -that was a bit too small for me but I had a lot of energy and I felt good going to shop in normal stores.

Oh girl I hear you! I wish I had some psychic reassurance telling me everything is going to work out fine. I have only a 5 day liquid diet which is good!! Just bought all of my Vitamins and Soups and stuff for my liquid & post op diet. Here we go, right?

[diamondkized 70]

You can have Soups preop?? I was stuck with shakes, crystal light packets, sugar free popsicles, Water and something else. I have to double check with the nutritionist because I could have sworn it said mcnuggets were on there too lol

Lmao! Yeah I can have LF cream soups and potato Soup that's been puréed & strained. I think the difference is I am on a full liquid diet pre op- yours sounds like a clear liquid diet, or what we will be on for the first couple of days post op. but you should be able to have broth- it's yummier, and makes you feel more like your having real food compared to that stuff. Also- if you can have all of that you definitely can have SF Jello, it's basically gelatinized crystal light. Once it gets warm in your body it turns to liquid.

[diamondkized 70]

Wow. My paper reads that i can have the damn Jello and sugar free popsicles no broth or anything like that. Only these shakes for 800 calories a day

I'm the 10th as well.

Started preop yesterday. Have to do 5 Bariatric Advantage shakes a day. I can also have all the SF Popsicles and Jello I want. Any Clear Liquids SF of course and broths. I'm so nervous and excited to do this.

How r u guys doing??

[ShrinkyDinkMe22 376]

I'm doing really well. First week was rough but doing much better this week. When are you getting sleeved?

[Ladylaurarose 8]

Got sleeved on the 10th. Doing really well now too! Hard week though.

[ShrinkyDinkMe22 376]

Yeah it was hard mentally. I thought I would be ok not eating. Having a rough time with that.

Amen. pizza is my weakness. I'd like to purée some of that and eat it! Lol. Not so healthy though. I can't wait to get to puréed cuz things will taste so much better but I am really taking it slow because sometimes just full liquids if they are the slightest bit too thick get stuck & does that EVER hurt! Ouch!
