7:30am EST it's showtime. Dropped 20lbs during this hellish liquid diet and I'm sitting at 298 right now. I wanna get down to 220 or lower which sounds right since I'm 6'3!
To everyone that's gone before me I hope you all show me the right path because I plan on helping those who come after me. Pretty pumped up right now just wanted to post so I can update you all in the following days! Wish me luck.


Your user name gives the impression you may be from the Philadelphia area. I'm about 30 minutes south of Philly .... Dr Williams is doing my surgery at the University of Penn ... where was yours done and by who?

Good on you getting the stuff early. It will make things much less stressful. I got released from the hospital today and am doing better, they gave me liquid pain meds which are helping a lot when I need it. I'm suprised at my weight loss already. Started the liquid diet at 317 and today I'm 294 with no appetite thank god lol

I'm getting sleeved July 12. Anxious. In that mode where everything has to be done. Vitamins purchased. Post op food in. Bills paid. Enough dog food in to keep the best friend happy. And must finish all that gardening! The head rattles.

Appreciate it all! Glad to see the support. Picked up my Vitamins tonight. Flinstones, B12, and ordered some calcium citrate meltables from Amazon. I'm supposed to get Vitamin D but I could only find like D3 and other D's but no straight Vitamin D. Other than that I should be good right guys?




Nurse here. Get the D3

Thanks a lot! Yeah things are going fine, still on my liquid diet until Thursday but I been slowly heading back to the gym getting cardio in, haven't ran yet because I'm scared what the bouncing will do for my incisions. I just want to start lifting weights already lol

I went from 317 when I started liquid diet and today I am 287.6 but I've been here for about 4-5 days now so I think I'm experiencing my first mini stall. Makes sense right? 2 weeks pre op and 1 week post op = 3 week dreaded stall right?

      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.
