I'm starting pre-op liquids today, surgery 9/19. I'm actually excited, to be honest, (surgery delayed 5 months over 3 separate BS issues.)

I honestly can't almost believe it's almost here. I'm right there with you!

Your closet looked like mine and I hope you use everything because I certainly did not. I bought so many different Proteins, $$$$$$$$$ and other products recommended that I just didn't use, grrrrr. I only use premiere Protein and GENEPRO powder that I did stick up on.

Yea, I heard alot of ppl say their taste changed after surgery. So I also got some things to add to them just in case. I don't believe in wasting money, my taste buds will just have to find a way to deal with it, lol

@@Aleathia, I'm not totally liquids -- 3 Premier Protein a day, black coffee, 1/2 cup fruit/veggies a day and a trifling amount of carbs. Unlimited Clear Liquids, Jell-O, and fat free broth.

I bought Syntax (sp?) unflavored Protein Powder for afterwards to mix into food. I forget what their active ingredient is, but I heard some people become lactose intolerant after surgery, and this doesn't have that ingredient. I am stocked up on shakes for pre/post op, but didn't go too crazy.

I weighed myself and put a yearly reminder on my phone that this is my starting weight and day 1 of liquids. I hope it's a motivational reminder every year to keep plugging and check my progress. I think I want to journal about this, too, in hopes of really nailing my food triggers/emotional stuff to make lasting changes.

My closet has been organized by descending size since March, when my surgery in June was initially booked. Sooooo freaking excited to purge clothes and streamline to a few stylish basics -- and a thinner face, no double chins, and increased energy -- hell, looking forward to ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

my surgery is on 9/19, I just started my pre-op diet 5 Protein shakes a day. I'm excited and a little nervous, but I can't wait. I still need to take my measurements, but I can't wait to buy new clothes I put a hold on buying any new stuff and I can't wait until I can start buying new smaller ones.

I'm on 2 shakes a day for before and after. For my 1st week, I have to take away something each day. Today is sweets. I work overnight, so I've been sleep, but I'm about to try the broth and egg noodles for the 1st time. By week 2, I have to be on a full liquid diet. I've lost 20 lbs during my 6mon program, can't wait to see how much I lose, this 2wks I'm also excited about the Purge, lol. Clearing my closet later on today. No more holding on to clothes just in case I gain the weight back. My nutritionist was worried about me cause I lack a good support system. I tried Google and wasn't finding anything. So I said they have an app for everything. .....so here I am.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
