MyNewLife28 9 Posted May 11, 2015 I am having mine done on the 19th as well! I am now on a 1200 calorie 2 week diet. The weekend was quite tough following it but I am back on track now! Good Luck to you! I hear ya! Same for me. Now I'm dealing with my pre-period wanting to eat everything in sight... Ugh! We will get there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm new to this app but there is a post call may sleevers where are you and there is a couple of people on there that started a secret Facebook group. Lessofjess is one of the ladies and if you message her your Email and surgery date she will invite you. Pre-op is killer. I keep counting the days down... It's soooo hard.

deflateme 2 Posted May 12, 2015 Hey everyone I'm scheduled for 28th May, excited to follow your progress as you are ahead of me on the journey. Started pre-op yesterday. I have 3 shakes a day, (optifast) and 2 cups of low carb veges. I made up a pot of Soup with can of tomatoes, celery, mushrooms, stock, carrots, brocolli. Kept it chunky so feels like Im eating a casserole. So far havent felt too hungry. Ive sent a request to Jess on FB asking to join the May group. Yay! How exciting!

Sleevelady 2 Posted May 13, 2015 I'm scheduled for May 19 too. I've been following my pre-op diet exactly for 7 days. 4 Protein Shakes, 1 Protein Soup, one Protein Bar and one banana per day. It's about 900 calories. All Bariatrics Advantage products. I'm surprised that I'm really not that hungry although my insides are very gurgely! No Advil, Alieve etc starting tomorrow.

Sleevelady 2 Posted May 13, 2015 I'm planning on going back to work one week after surgery. I have a job where I sit at a desk and go to meetings. Is one week off realistic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyNewLife28 9 Posted May 14, 2015 I dunno if one week is realistic. I think if you don't move much but I think maybe you'd want to give yourself a week and a half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
