Hey AtlantaRed! You can put me down for December 17th!

[AtlantaRed 651]

Ugh, so I have to do a 2 week liquid preop afterall! BLah

My "liquids" inlcude:

8 oz Gatorade

6 oz light yogurt

SF applesauce

fruit chillers

SF pudding cups

8 oz Protein drink with milk twice a day.

I'm supposed to "eat" every 2 hours something from that list!

"Free beverages" that I can have unlimited throughout the day

Water

Crystal light

Wyler's Light

Diet Snapple

SF Jell-O

broth

coffee and Tea (sugar substitute)

and any calorie free beverage.

They were trying to tell me I had to drive up there (an hour each way) to buy the Bariatric Advantage from them for $70. I emailed the NUT and said Premier Protein was equal in nutritional values, cheaper and 1 mile away. She said that was fine but if I did Premier Protein, to have 3 a day OR I could use the Body Fortress Super Advanced whey Protein from Walmart and only 2 a day.

Fun, fun!!

Join the club. I have to do a 14 day pre-op too and it starts next Monday... and it runs right into Thanksgiving. Oy!

3 oz protein for Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

8 oz of veggies for Breakfast, lunch and dinner.< /p>

Or

a Protein shake for Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Free foods: SF Jello and pudding. Our Free liquids List is pretty much the same.

For Meals, I'm gonna do mostly shakes. Just easier. I've stocked up on my Premier shakes from Sam's. Bought three cases this weekend.

[Mel1071 149]

I have all of my pre-op appointments on 11/25. I wonder if they will change me from a 2 day to a 2 week diet. My BMI is 47 so maybe not.

Have I mentioned lately how I cannot wait to get out of the morbidly obese category? From morbidly obese to obese to overweight to normal. Normal here I come! (probably the only time you will ever hear that from me lol)

[Care1175 58]

For pre-op diet I can have 3 to 5 Protein Shakes a day, only 700-900 calories, 64-96 oz of Water. Idk what the 700-900 calories are suppose to be? Maybe just the Protein shakes. I see surgeon the second day of pre-op diet. I will ask about the 700-900 calories. Do any of you have to drink Miralax the day before the surgery or something to clean you out? I read it on the website. Nothing about it on paperwork. I hope not!!

[AtlantaRed 651]

Depending on the shake, they can be around 150 to 200 cal each. So, I think those are the calories.

No cleaning out for me before surgery, I think just Clear Liquids the day before with nothing after midnight.

[AtlantaRed 651]

Is there anyone on here who is a lot more savvy than me on creating documents/templates?

I am trying to get things in order, just in case, and would like a Word 2007 or Excel 2007 template for account name, account number, username, password, and hint columns.

I'm just not good at that stuff. I looked on microsoft to see if there were any and I didn't see anything already made.

Anyone will to whip me up one?

[overdue 5]

December 17th!

[Care1175 58]

Thanks for the info. It does say Clear Liquids the day before surgery so I am hoping that the website doesn't apply to me!

Question about Vitamins? what is everyone taking after surgery? I have like a million of types to choose from, yet I don't know what will be the best? Any Ideas?

Check your FB messages and let me know if what I sent you works. It is super basic but hopefully it will do what you need!

[MySleeveJourney 9]

Does anyone know how to get on the Facebook group? I know you have to be invited, but do I write Ashlie Marie?

[Cwatters1 7]

Hi all!

I am all set for a sleeve on December 11th in Norfolk, VA. I have done all the tests & labs & am just waiting for my pre-op appts on Nov. 22. I'm very excited and a little nervous. I am 5' 9" and 290 lbs. with a goal weight is 165. Thank you guys for putting yourselves out there for support!

[AtlantaRed 651]

I don't think my NUT told me specifically what to take other than I would need Bariatric Advantage multi for a few weeks after. I have a hard time with Vitamins as they make me sick. I can take the gummies with no problem. I can chew them forever until they liquify so I think I will stick with that. From my PCP, I am already on B12 shots and weekly Vitamin D and Iron. NUT did say I would need Calcium supplement forever.

Hope that helps.
