I was given my date at ssf the day met with surgeon. It was about a month after that meeting. Went fast!

[Michelle. 7]

It was really fast....I got my surgery scheduled the day I met with the surgeon as well...I lost 8.4lbs from Orientation to my surgeon meeting. He actually offered me August 6, so it could have been a lot faster for me, but my son is in summer camp and I had already scheduled a week to stay home with him...he then offered me the 17th. but that's the first day of school :-( and I want to be the one to drop him off for his first day as a 1st grader.

so August 24! can't wait I am a little nervous mostly about the pain, and the loose skin.....but staying positive! :-)

Hope you get your surgery date soon!

Dod he say how much weight he wanted you to lose?

[Michelle. 7]

He said he was pleased on how much I had lost thus far and it looked like we were ready to schedule.

I don't have a fatty liver so that might be why?

I started the pre op diet two days after I went to orientation

Thanks michelle, i appreciate the information. Are u still on the pre-op diet then?

[Michelle. 7]

Yes still on it. I am drinking the 64 oz Water as well. I have to start practicing chewing 30 times and the sipping the water

[net0girl 13]

Do u have ideas for preop meals? Its zriving me nuts i have no imagination!

[Michelle. 7]

I really don't. I am still trying to find chewable vitamins I like and trying to find a tasty Protein Shake. Do you know of any tasty Protein Drink?

[net0girl 13]

Michelle i Tried a Pure Protein drink today so good

It has 35 g protein . I bought it in a can form at Walgreens

What flavor did you try? I have tried the vanilla and the chocolate and I really did not like it. Bought cans at trader joes.

So far powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate and vanilla are okay.
