How long is your pre liquid diet ? I start mine Sept 22nd. We should keep each other updates after surgery...

We should! I have my pre-op appointment on sept 19th. I'm also starting in the 22nd! I've started testing and trying to find some broths and Protein powder and shakes that I like. So far the only thing I know for sure is that I HATE the GNC lean shakes; they like make me nauseous and the one I love with is Orgain is not going to have enough Protein it only has 21g per 8 oz serving lol!! How about you ??

@@eye1der I'm telling my office I'm having surgery but for either my gallbladder or hiatal hernia, that way I'm not lying and don't have to make up crazy stories about a vacation that didn't really happen but also keep the real reason to myself. I have 1 coworker I told, I trust her to keep it quiet and we are good friends but I'm going to have her help me keep it under wraps. Like back up my "I'm on a diet" story for the next couple of weeks leading up to the procedure so then when I come back a few pounds down its not so shocking.

I'm glad to have found some other October sleevers!!

I finally provided my surgery date to my supervisor. I did state it was medically necessary surgery regarding my digestive track. I have my FMLA forms. I am still keeping the type of surgery to myself. I feel like if I tell them the type of surgery it will get around and i don't want people to pass judgement. Its sad that I feel like I am doing something "bad" and that I will face unwanted ridicule or people staring if I share my what I am doing. I want to keep the joy to myself during such a positive time in my life. I wish I would have thought of hernia or gallbladder or read your post a few hours earlier. Thank you for your post. I am glad I am not alone when i comes to the work world.

I actually found Isopure at the Vitamin Shoppe it's like a Gatorade consistency. It has 40g of protein in one bottle. So I got the grape... It actually taste pretty good. So I added some Water to it to make it last longer and some mio grape drops taste like coolaid. I got icepop molds also I'm going to make my own popsicles out of the protein. I have a bunch of different Soups and yogurt shakes, cottage cheese is allowed on my liquid diet so I'll be using that as well.

I did buy some shakes to change it up a bit. The eas strawberry Protein Shakes are good.

      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.
