Any November Sleevers for 2014 need surgery buddys?

[camden1928 10]

Scheduled for November 10th, was originally scheduled for October 8th but Dr had a conference to go to and doesnt like to do surgery if he is not around after for calls etc. I guess thats a good thing!

I have bcbs-fep so only need three month prep instead of 6, no required weight loss but have lost a few pounds, just focusing on keep those few off and not eating everything insite over the next month.

Changing my way of thinking that this is not yet another diet has been the hardest for me so far.

I have to have some other gastro procedures done at the same time as a result of some gallbladder issues so no-ones knows about the sleeve part just the gastro surgery which also has liquids, soft foods two weeks out after etc.

My personal choice, I know others share what they are comfortable with and that is what I am comfortable with for now, might change after the fact.

Happy sleeving everyone

That is a good question! I just got a copy of the diet. Idk really what to do with the info, though. For instance it says SF carnation. Does it have to be carnation?

I start my pre op diet November 4. Surgery November 11. I'm getting all my Protein supplements and Vitamins together now.

I had my final nutritional appt today. My surgery is on the 3rd and I started my preop this past Sat. I bought all my Protein Shakes and Vitamins from Vitamin Shoppe.< /p>

I'm a bit new here, and have surgery scheduled Nov 3, I haven't had my pre-op appointments yet. What does it mean when you guys say that you've 'started your pre-op'?

I start my pre-op diet 14 days before surgery, so October 30th will be my last day of food. I haven't gotten my Protein Shakes yet but will probably do that this weekend ???? when we say "started our pre-op" that means we've gone to a pre-op appointment and the diet we're talking about is the all Fluid diet which should have been prescribed by your surgeon!

My doc didn't say anything about Vitamins. What are u taking?

My date is set for Nov 5th. Start my pre op diet on 10/22.. I been replacing Breakfast with a Protein Shake to have an idea what to expect. The thought of going cold turkey off food and just fluids has me going crazy

[wife4life 4]

I'm on day 5 of preop with just my Protein Shakes. I am doing it for exactly one whole month. It's tough but 10lbs down in 5 days so far.

@@wife4life good for you.. I'm so nervous about the pre op diet. My nutritionist said if I have to eat then let it be veggies. I know I'm going to end up doing that lol.
