Lioness815 44 Posted June 20, 2018 It’s really hard in these last days of the countdown to avoid the urge to splurge on junk or sweets or comfort food that I won’t get to have during my journey. :-/ 2 Frustr8 and martha :) reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My surgery is on the 23rd as well. It actually falls 5 days after my 22nd birthday so I'm super stoked for my late birthday present. My birthday dinner will actually be my "last meal" before starting liquids so that'll be interesting. I plan to treat myself (to a healthy and filling meal lol). Good luck in the next month everyone! 2 Frustr8 and KristinOlivia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faith73 11 Posted June 21, 2018 Hello, i just found out that I’m scheduled for July 3, 2018. I have my pre-op appointment on Friday. I was excited at first and now I’m feeling ambivalent. 1 1 Frustr8 and Michelleintheoc1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freshface 4 Posted June 21, 2018 July 9th in MO. I’ve been having food funerals the last week. Also enjoying a last bourbon or two before getting to the real enjoyment -life! Doc has instructed pure, clear liquid diet for 7 days pre-op. I’m starting restriction (low carb) 2 weeks out. 4 martha :), Frustr8, Love2Travel816 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kcoley 17 Posted June 21, 2018 53??? I'm 68 and for some reason not worried about age. Having a band revision but this time doing surgery for health and not vanity. We older peeps will do fine👍 2 charob and Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shrinking_wildflower 51 Posted June 21, 2018 Well day 1 of pre op diet was easy! I thought I had to have liquid only but the dietitian told me I'm fine to have tofu and low starch veggies instead yay! I can't drink the vlcd shakes as they are dairy based and I'm vegan.Had my pre op appointments yesterday and all is good to go ahead. Bit shocked to hear I have to pay another $500 to the anaesthetist! How is everyone else doing?Sent from my SM-N950F using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frustr8 7,886 Posted June 21, 2018 ShrinkingWildflower have you checked out Vega? Also I like personally Svelte, you get a lower Protein count but it is soy-based and really tastes good. 1 shrinking_wildflower reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shrinking_wildflower 51 Posted June 21, 2018 ShrinkingWildflower have you checked out Vega? Also I like personally Svelte, you get a lower Protein count but it is soy-based and really tastes good.I found Vega only the other day. They don't sell it here but I've ordered some from iherb. I'm hoping to use it post surgery. No svelte here either.Sent from my SM-N950F using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
