Hello and welcome! I am with you on looking in the mirror, narrow seats and clothes not fitting. I also hope to soon enjoy posing for pictures again instead of trying to avoid being in them

Oh Im like a ninja when the camera comes out, leaping for the shadows for fear I get captured. We got this feeling a bit nervous about it all today but sifting through all the messages gives me confidence. Wish it it was Nov 30th already.

Hi All, Is "November Sleevers" an actual group to join up to? Or, is it simply a post?

My goals are a speedy recovery....hoping to feel good (with exception of incision pain) by 1-week post-op. Also hoping for no serious short or long-term complications.

It's better than 80% likely that these goals come to be....if I follow the program 100%.

If the above all goes well....it's guaranteed I will lose a great deal of weight and be much healthier.

Hello and welcome!

Hi paddyski! No, I unfortunately can't have veggies. I would give anything to have something with a crunch and ice is not cutting it Oh well now I have something else to look forward to after the surgery-crunch!

yes I have two days where it is just Clear Liquids and shakes, but the 1st 12 days include 4 shakes and veggies no corn potatoes or peas and 1 fruit a day I haven't gone to hog wild but I had a pretty serious headache this morning I think. I just had to order more shakes and I got my Vitamins ordered so I feel better about that still have to get the Calcium but I think that is it. Crazy how everyone's diets are so different, even in my pre op class there were people on a 7 day diet and that was pretty different from the plan I am on... how was you big class did you have that yet? I felt like mine was pretty informative I was glad they gave us the presentation by email after. But I felt reassured that this is what I need to do, it helped to ease a bit of my anxiety.

I went to the class and it was informative about the pre-op diet and what to expect at the hospital and the process of healing after surgery. Yesterday I had to go to the hospital for pre-admission bloodwork and another EKG (mine was done over 6 months ago so I needed to get another one). The whole hospital smell got my stomach in knots and made it even more real. Time seems to be going slow and fast at the same time for me

That is brutal but awesome about the 9lbs... you have another class? I only have the one before surgery but there is a support group meeting on November 20th I am eyeing... not sure how I will be feeling etc, but might not hurt to go to one...

Hi everyone and Welcome.

My surgery is November 7th. I am on a low calorie and very low fat (less than 30 g). I am able to pick 4 milk, 2 vegetable, 2 fruit, 2 starch and 4 meat servings each day. I have pre-op test October 30th. What Protein Shakes have you tried that is good? And what Vitamins have you tried that is good also?
