My surgery date is November 12th. I am ready to finish what I have started. My biggest thing is the first month of puree foods. A week after my surgery my daughter has a soccer tournament in south ga, but I should be able to figure it all out just find places that have Soup for my dinner and add my Protein.

[VickieRenee 56]

Lots of good Protein powders on this list that satisfy the requirements the nutritionist gave me.

*20-30 grams of protein per serving

*<15 grams of carbs per serving

* <200 calories per serving

I've started a Multivitamin and collagen + Biotin pills today and have tried to increase my Water intake. I'll begin exercising tomorrow. I'm very motivated to not only lose weight but to be healthy and strong!

[kalí̱ ygeía 45]

I'm scheduled for Nov 6th! My preop appt is next week. Soon to be starting the liquid diet for two weeks! I'm excited and nervous all at the same time.

[klmcin2020 7]

You're one week before I am. I am very excited, not too nervous. I think I more nervous about the 14 day liquid diet that I am the surgery. 🤪 Were you able to make your 10% weight loss goal?

Mine starts on the 28th and it is pure liquid. I plan on living on the Premier Protein shake, sugar free Jello, & chicken broth!! Sounds yummy right! 🤪 I am actually looking forward to this journey!

Hi, fellow November sleevers... Was just wondering what all of your pre-op diets look like. Mine is 10 days, and thankfully has some food... Not nearly enough but some is better than none, I guess. I start on the 24th, I think, and have told those who know what I'm doing (I'm keeping it somewhat on the down low for various reasons) that I may not be the most pleasant person to be around.

I will be on a 14 day liquid diet. My surgery date is Nov 11. I think I have waited for this day my whole adult life and am so excited.
