Any other November sleevers out there?

[bissara 18]

Hi, New to this. I have done all my pre op appointments and I've been approved for Surgery and my surgery is Next Friday Nov 9. Im on a 2 week post op diet first week 2 shakes a day and a high Protein dinner. I did pretty good the first week; slipped one day. I am on my second week and only liquids but I had baked chicken breast and green Beans for lunch. I have lost 12 pounds so far. My question is will this hurt my surgery? Should I tell the doctor? Do you all think it will be okay?

11/14 for me! The shakes are tough - doing Isopure. It's not even the actual shake, it's the thought of what I could be eating instead.

I'm scheduled for Nov. 21st. I'm not going to lie. I'm a lot anxious about post-opt.

I've read too many posts about complications and difficulties. Honestly, it sounds horrifying.

I live in Austin, Texas. Are there any support groups here?

Thanks.

I'm also Austin area, having mine on the 18th. Start my pre-op diet today (low carb - so not that bad).

Hello LivetoTravel,

You live in Austin correct? Would love to exchange contact information if you are comfortable. Not sure how to do it in a private manner.

Hope you enjoyed the vacation. I have the operation on 15th but have gone for bypass as I feel I need extra limitations to keep me in line.

liquid diet was tough first 2 days but is fine now. Really does take off the pounds !

I am 3 days post op.

The day before I was nervous and stressed ! ! One the way to the hospital I asked my husband if we could just run away !!!

For me surgery was fast and not alot of pain. . . Mostly sore belly and GAS !

NOwhere near the pain I had expected in my mind !

You can do this !

Last night was the first time I was able to drink a whole protien shake.

I've heard pew talk about being hungry

Ive not had that at all. . .
