Pre-op visit with surgeon today, then surgery on 11/4.

Not nervous (yet!?!?!) but excited to be past it. I have faith in my surgical team, they are the best in the area, deal with high risk surgeries (me) all the time and I know all will be well.

Good luck to all of us in November!!!

I tried a bunch of differant powders but the one I liked best was the Unjury because it tasted pretty good and it contains the whey protien isolate that my Doctor's office says is better protien (and I don't want to lose my hair) I also got the vanilla flavor because someone said you could mix in Crystal light orange and it would taste like the popcycle - they were right so i"m going to try it with other CL flavors.

Also I found Silk unsweetened almond miik and added to the Choc Unjury and that was good to and it saved a ton of carbs (my liver will thank me during surgery)

Also they recommend Powerade Zero because it has all the electrolights and fewer carbs that Gatorade. It is also a good choice for when you are on Clear Liquids.< /p>

I'm Nov 6th and have been on the protien shakes since last Tues. I go to clear liquids on Monday. FREAKING OUT already but looking forward to a new and healthy ME.

Good luck to all that are going before me - let us know how ir goes

I have 10 days of pre op liquid diet so I haven't started yet, but am very excited to do so!!! I have another dr visit tomorrow the Friday starts my liquid diet! It's just around the corner! Definitely going to eat some homemade bread for Halloween though :)

Eat it while you can! I am not missing regular food at all on this detox. The food choices I have to select from are amazing and I'm not hungry at all.

November Sleevers it's almost our time to shine. To think by this time on Friday I will be sleeved and so will a few others to which I wish all the best and my prayers are with you. Then the rest of you will be right behind us. To think we will start a new chapter in our lives is pretty is exciting and I looking forward to hearing about all of your small and large victories. I hope we all keep it touch and remain support for each other. Good luck to all of you.

Woo hooo!! November is ours! (doing happy dance) :D

This is my 3rd day! It gets a little easier. Hang in there!

I agree, it's not so bad today (I'm on day 5 of 14). Had the Roasted Butternut w/ dried Cherries chicken Quinoa bowl from First Watch, for lunch. Nice meal!

November 12th here in NY too! so excited! anyone know when do they do the final blood work etc? they havent called me to do it yet and i dont know what time im supposed to arrive at hospital yet. surgery will be at 9 am

Congrats!!

I did my pre-op blood work, ekg, ultrasound of gall bladder, and xray 3 weeks ago. Not sure how each doctor requires it. The insurance company just said I had to get the surgery done within 31 days of having labs/tests done.

      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.
