BelB 0 Posted January 31, 2015 Hi All New to this site been stalking you all for awhile. I just got approval with a surgery date of Feb 16th according to the Health insurance. Waiting to hear from the Doctors office today. I would assume I will have to start the pre op soon. I have to admit I ate my last brownie this weekend. It felt so silly. Same here! Just got my approval yest and scheduled for the 16th!! I'm so nervous/excited!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevilAngela13 14 Posted February 6, 2015 I too have my surgery on February 16. I am currently doing my 2 week liquid diet. I am nervous too. Wishing you all luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JWheel1989 21 Posted February 9, 2015 How is everyone? Personally I'm finding the pre-surgery diet hard. It's a low fat diet and I am craving chocolate soooo bad. I'm fine with everything else as I was used to not eating bread, Pasta, rice etc but my biggest weakness is chocolate. I can mentally remind myself why I'm on the diet, and I generally feel good about everything else, it's just this one food! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcclayne 36 Posted February 9, 2015 Have you tried the muscle milk knockout chocolate pro series 32 G Protein shake. It's pretty thick, chocolate and I think tastes good. $7.98 at Walmart for 4 of them. They're helping me a lot right now at 12 days post op Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're helping me a lot right now at 12 days post op Thank you for the suggestion I might see if I can find them online. Sadly though my pre-surgery diet only allows for a very small portion of milk, approx 300 ml. I'm really excited for my surgery next Tuesday, I just wish I was doing better at the diet.

mcclayne 36 Posted February 12, 2015 Muscle "milk" misleading. Read about it, it contains no milk, just milk Proteins. Dr.'s have different guidelines and diets of course, but generally not to different, because surgeries the same. At least ask, you'd probably like it. Good luck!

chickabo 6 Posted February 12, 2015 My sleeve is Feb 16th. I was totally excited up to about 2 days ago. And now I'm super nervous. Not sure if I ordered enough Protein broth and powder. Nervous how long I'm going to be down. I have a 3 year old. Doc gave me 3 weeks off work. My manager thinks I might need more time to adjust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chickabo 6 Posted February 12, 2015 Mmmmm I missed chocolate so bad that I bought some dark chocolate chips and count out 10 to eat to satisfy my chocolate craving. Don't miss anything else I'm on my pre-diet. Also. My Protein Shakes are chocolate. I have rockin' refuel my fav and also nectar and Bariatric Advantage.

mcclayne 36 Posted February 12, 2015 You can get your surgery canceled for that. You don't know me and I don't mean to lecture but if you can't stay away from that you'll get sick later. I only took a week off completely part-time 2nd week am only 15 days post op and I feel pretty good. Mental readiness is the most important part. If you need to talk let me know, maybe I can help you feel better about a few things now that I've just experienced it. I was terrified, but it's not as bad as you think. It's been more exciting! ????already feeling changes that will only get better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
