Old self- Yes it is a typ of Protein Powder you can buy. I have tried some of the nectar ones and I really like the Oreo cookie with unsweetened chocolate almond milk.

Hi' date=' I will be sleeved on September 18th. I am really excited and scared and every other emotion that goes with it. My surgery is less than two weeks from my initial appointment with the doctor on September 5th. I really have to move fast to fill all the requirements. Night of initial appointment had to start 2 week diet. A few days later went for gallbladder tests and upper GI test, Thursday go for pre-op class and register at hospital with more bloodwork. Then the following Wednesday morning is surgery. I am from a small town in Louisiana[/quote']

Wow that's crazy fast!! My first appt was June 10th and that doesn't include the seminar I had to attend in may and I have the same date as you!! Good luck fellow 9/18!!!

I've been just about exclusively using the Syntrax Nectars. They are really good! I usually mix with crystal light but they are good alone. Use a Blender Bottle though I do find they clump if you don't have the ball. Enjoy!!

I know that Crystal light counts towards our liquid. Does anyone know if skim milk/soymilk/Almond milk also counts towards our liquid requirement?

Milk counts towards your Protein and liquid requirements. It's a two for one deal!

Welcome to the other side!! I think it takes time for its worth to sink in but it will be what you make of it. Glad you are okay.

I am reading everyone's threads right now and getting so excited! I have one more week until surgery. Even though some of you have had trouble - everyone made the jump to bettering themselves! I cannot wait to join you. Best of luck to everyone getting sleeved this week!

I guess I can jump in here. My surgery is on the 25th, so I have two weeks to go! I finished all my pre-op testing yesterday and started the pre-op diet today. I am mostly excited, but would be lying if I said I had zero nerves.

Congrats to all who have made it to the other side so far this month! I will be there soon!

Today Im been sleeved for a week. I cant believe how easy this has been. I was really sick for the 10 months before my surgery so I was already used to smaller meals. Of course they were still bigger then what I can do now. Where is what my doc wants me to get in every day, 2 Protein Shakes, 64oz water/sf drink, 3 1/4c meals and of course 30 min of walking. Plus 2 Flintstones, 2 Iron, and my normal pills. After the 4th day I have been able to get everything in. I have also been able to sleep on my side since day 3.

Im just amazed how my body had bounced back from a major surgery. I thank God for that.

Good luck to those who have upcoming surgeries. And for the post-op people thank you for sharing your experience with the rest of us. It really makes a difference.

I'm on the 25th too. I started my diet on Monday and prior to that I lost 10 pounds by watching my portion sizes. My Doctor is Dr. Jessee at Palms of Pasadena in Tampa. Where are you at?
