Newbie here surgery date 11/5

[MissMeka86 3]

Hi, my name is Meka. I was searching for a forum and came across this site. I am scheduled for surgery on Nov. 5th. I am so excited!!!! I'm currently on my pre op diet which consist of 2 Protein Shakes a day and a sensible dinner. It has been somewhat tough but not as bad as I thought. I can't wait to see the lbs start to come off. My pre op weight was 303. Looking to reach a goal of 175-180. Are there any other Nov. Sleevers???

Hey Meka,

My name is Judy and my surgery is also November 5. I am also having a hard time with the pre op diet but my diet consist of a fat free diet and the day before my surgery I'll be only on liquids

Hi Judy! That's awesome we have the same date. How excited are you. I was told I could snack on almonds and Greek yogurt. For the most part it's been pretty easy to deal with.

I am really excited for it. I have been snacking on Greek yogurt also and I do a Protein Shake for Breakfast which I am having a hard time getting used to the shakes

What shakes are you drinking. I am on the Total Lean Shakes from GNC But The Nutritionist Wants me to switch to pure Protein my last week of the diet

Right now I am using one called fitmiss

I have not heard of that one. I will look into it. I'm from Las Vegas. How long have you been considering the surgery. It's been about a year for me. I started with lap band but as I looked more into it the sleeve seemed like a better option for me.

I am from Conroe, Texas. I started thinking about surgery since January and also I was going to do the lap band when I went to my surgeon in February he talked about all the surgery and I decide that the sleeve was better for me.

This is so exciting so glad that I found this site. I keep thinking of how much weight I'm going to lose. But sometimes I think of some of the food I won't be able to eat. I'm a big fan of wingstop and giving that up wasn't too easy but so far I'm doing great.

[jperez89 4]

I know how you feel I am excited about loosing the weight but I know it will be hard giving up some of the foods I love

[MissMeka86 3]

I just saying to myself those foods are exactly why you are here lol

Hi????

I'm scheduled for November 5th in alma, Mi. Dr. Cojoe is doing my surgery out of Mid Michigan. I'm on the two liquid a day, fish, veggies, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello & lots of Water.

My biggest struggle has been giving up my coke. But I'm on my third week and doing fairly well. The flavored waters & ice tea help.

Congratulations to all of you & best wishes on your new journey!????????????
