Any other November sleevers out there?

I have my pre-op at the hospital today (around 10:30). Surgery next Friday (11/18). So far on my pre-op diet (low carb) I've lost 3lbs.

Congrats! I hate this liquid diet. I'm turning into a crybaby! I can see that I will probably be rather emotional after surgery. Ugh

How are you handling Thanksgiving if your on liquids and surgery is after the holiday? I'll be on my 2 week liquid 500 cal a day diet. Surgery is Nov 29th

Perhaps some Tomato Soup if that is allowed per your doctor recommended diet? Some of those are low in calories, but I don't know about sugar/carbs/fat. Definitely check with your nutritionist. I'm sure they hear that question a lot.

I'm sorry you're on a liquid diet. At least after surgery you get full faster so maybe it won't be so hard, but before surgery nothing has changed so I can't imagine how hard that is.

She and I have the same Dr. It's Protein shakes, h2o, broth, Jello and popsicles.

Okay. Mine is similar, but not exact.

I use adobo seasoning with pepper from the my Latin market to add flavor to my broth, which I love. Others have said they made broth with carrots, celery, seasoning, then strained it to add more flavor. I also found a Thai seasoned chicken stock (nutritional information fit guidelines of what I could have) at my local Wegman's. I'd probably be okay with that and Protein Shakes. Maybe have a caramel flavored one (premiere Protein is what I use) for "dessert".

My surgery was Nov 4th. I'm a week post op. I got the preop jitters the morning of my surgery. My surgeon went over the complications of the surgery with my husband and I, and he said he's never seen or heard of anything happening in surgery. It's how well YOU follow directions post op. You'll be fine :) just follow your post op diet, walk around every hour, and keep hydrated and you'll be on the right track.

Don't be scared.

I was. But it was not anywhere as bad as I thought it would be.

I had the sleeve. Took less than 45 min.

Even with all my health issues I went home the next day.

To me the worst thing is the GAS.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
