Hi! I just got scheduled for October 20th!

[kimlynn1980 14]

that's really cool laylay!! what part of sc are you in? my brother and nephew are around Spartanburg, and I used to live in Horry County with my family from 1995-1997, I start my liquids on 10/17, all liquids for 10 days...then pretty much the same for first 2 weeks post op

I'm scheduled for 10/26 down here in Texas. I'm definitely feeling a mixture of things...but I'm mostly excited to start this next chapter in my life!! I spent my childhood, teens, 20's and half my 30's being overweight-super morbidly obese. This ends later this month! I'm finally taking control! I want to set a better example for my daughter!!

I got my surgery date today. My surgery is the 26 also! I'm in SC. I'm happy n nervous all at the same time! Start the pre-op diet on the 12th. 2 shakes n one meal a day!!

My surgery date in Oct 12 - 8 days away in Mountain View, CA at El Camino Hospital. I'm actually very content and excited to get this portion of the journey over. I have been on a liquid diet for a week so far, I have found Premiere Protein shakes, you can get them at costco - $24.99 for 18.

I find that I am not sleeping as well right now. Partially nerves/anxiousness and hunger.

My doctor does not require a two week liquid diet. However, he outlines what to do if you want to do it. I think I'm going to aim for 1,400 calories this week. Then the week of the 12th due 3 shakes and a small Protein dinner. I'm required to do liquids only Sunday the 18th.

You're so lucky. I am on all liquids, then Clear Liquids two days before hand (which is nice since it falls on a Saturday and Sunday). Three shakes and meal is completely doable! Best of luck! Make sure to check out my blog and share.

My MD recommends weight and inches Meal Replacement shakes. However, it's really expensive. 7 shakes Is $20. What shakes are good for pre op meal replacement?

My doctor highly recommends Premiere Protein which can be purchased at costco - 18 shakes for $24.99 + tax. I know Sam's Club also sells them. You doctor wants you on low-carb and low fat, high Protein. The rule of thumb is always

- under 220 grams of protein

- single digit carb (9g and under)

- double digit protein (10g or more)

Your shakes should have 25-40g of protein.

I have two that I really like - check them out on my blog (you can also buy them at Costco).

Mine is Oct 19th in TX. Start the 2 weeks pre-op diet tomorrow - mainly Protein and veggies - very few carbs. Then 2 days prior - liquids. I am like everyone else nervous / excited to start this journey to a new me.

Headaches are from limiting carbs. It gets a little better. sleep sucks for me too. Surgery is a week from tomorrow.
