March Sleevers Where are You

[jenniferg 7]

I get my surgery done tomorrow morning. I'm beginning to get very nervous. It does not help that the weather is supposed to get really bad tonight into the morning and it might be a difficult commute! I'm so nervous

My day is March 19... less then two Weeks!!! Day 4 of liquid preop diet and this is hard. I drink a different Protein Shake a day to see which one I like the best. So far its muscle milk chocolate and vanilla (mixed with 2 oz. of Decaf coffee ...hope this one is ok!!!

Also how long is everyone taking off from work. I'm taking off Tues until Monday, less then a week but all I do is sit at a desk ALL DAY!!!

hi Ashley- I feel for you. I can eat low carb low fat preop (doing it now) and because I'm a fatty I'm having a hard time not doubling up those meals...BUT, I'm doing it and you can too....Drink Water till your floating. How about a Protein Shake they are thicker? It's only three days, you can do it girl!! Keep us updated

Hello shannflo- I have the same date as you and preop dieting too (not liquids though) I used Isopure low carb Dutch chocolate w/ skim milk after my lapband (I had the band 7 yrs till it slipped) that's what I'm thinking of using postoperative too. Let us know what Protein shake you end up liking. I'm more into finding a protein shake that's like drinking chocolate milk.

I'm a stay at home mom/ wife but I've been reading people taking off at least a week but would have been happier if they did 2 weeks.
