I can’t quote from my phone, but my diet is the same. 2 shakes and a sensible dinner with 4/6oz of meat. Can also have a third shake if needed at night but haven’t done that yet. Also having one serving of dairy a day, and I gave up caffeine 😩.
I definitely am not as tired today on day 4 as I was on day 1!

I have finished my Preop nutrition classes and psych evaluation. I have also finished all of my Preop weight-ins and received my referral letter for surgery. Just waiting to have my EGD on August 23rd and get my surgery date. My insurance didn’t require a 6 month weight-in! Thank Goodness! I’m so ready! Waiting on my surgery date! But I’m already experiencing backlash from friends!

Hi everyone! First time posting! My surgery will be July 10th! So excited and nervous. My biggest fear is that it won't work. I've dieted all my life and while I can always lose weight, I always gain it back and I think I've messed up my metabolism so bad. I can survive on nothing, so I'm scared the surgery won't help that much. I know it probably sounds irrational, but that's my biggest fear, aside from dying of course and leaving my children with my ex....

Think positive! My surgeon was saying this has such a high success rate so as long as you do what they tell you everything will be great! Our nurse had the sleeve and lost 90lbs. She said even if I slip up and eat Cookies I am limited to how many I can eat not like before so it keeps everything in line. You will do great!

Congratulations to you two as well! Excited to see how everyone does. I had my surgeon visit Friday and my nutritionist appointment this Monday. I start my 2 week liver shrinking diet Monday. Being bad this weekend. If anyone has a Sams Club near them they have the Premiere Protein on sale for 3 or 4 dollars less each pack.

I'm glad I found the July group!!! I looked and only saw June, but someone mentioned the July group on another thread and I found yall! I'm getting my sleeve done on July 23rd. I could of done it sooner July 2nd, but we booked and paid for a cabana over the Water mid July so I didn't wanna be in pain or not up for travelling. So I pushed my surgery out. At the time I was in a meh mood for the surgery. I wasn't excited for it, but I wasn't not unhappy about it. I kept thinking about everything I was going to be missing. But after coming back to Bpal and reading everyone's stories and realizing that its not forever and that eventually I'll be able to eat things like steak again. ( I love steak lol)… I started to get excited about the surgery and started getting ready for it!

Sam's club is the place for Premier Protein drinks right now, until July 14th. I think I will have 2 shakes a day and a sensible 500 - 600 calorie meal, but I will run this by my Dr on Thursday. Eating 1500 calories a day is a daunting task for me right now do to my body drama. I'm also on hormone therapy as a result and don't want to start gaining weight as a result during the pre-op phase. I want to be surgery ready, once the body drama is settled and treated. I've been on this journey since last September and decided in April to get the vsg...in the Kaiser process now and looking to have surgery in the beginning of 2020...this body drama wasn't in the plans and neither were my crazy labs...

      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.
