Yes so true I am usually not a salted Caramel fan. Someone gave me a fairlife salted Caramel and it was pretty good nothing I want to drink daily because it is so sweet but good. I just finished my first chocolate fairlife and yes by far the best Chocolate Protein Shake I have tasted so far. Most have funny after taste and thick and chalky not fair life. That will be the only kind I get for the rest of this venture . I also bought vanilla but I haven’t tried it. Waiting for it to chill in fridge. I will have this afternoon.

We really are surgery twins! I am just outside of Atlanta and am scheduled for surgery 2/3. (That is assuming Anthem and Northside can figure out their differences by then.). I finished my requirements in November. I am in day 8 of a liquid diet and and down to 303. My highest weight was 330 this summer; 316 when I saw the surgeon in October; and 312 at the start of the liquid diet. Good luck to you!

That is so awesome ! I wonder if we have the same body type too lol More in the hips for me. Good luck to you too!

How are all my 2/3 surgery date buddies doing on their pre-op diets? It's been tough but doable so far. Today was the hardest. Watching football and not having pizza and all the junk food that I used to eat while watching football. Tried to treat my Fairlife Nutrition Plan shakes as dessert since it's sweeter than most anything else that I eat. Also struggling with low energy even though I am comfortably meeting all my Protein and Water goals.

I am scheduled for 2/3, too. I have only had two days that I felt over the liquid diet. Today was one of those days. Those shakes were hard to get down, and my energy was super low. But after 11 days of this and only a few more to go before surgery, there was no way I was going to cheat. Are you on a clear liquid diet Wednesday?

Hey all! I'm also scheduled for Feb 3rd and I'm getting the sleeve here in the Los Angeles area. I started this process back in August, and now that I'm weeks away, it's a little overwhelming. I'm mostly really excited, so I'll focus on that emotion as much as possible.

I’m getting my sleeve done on the 24th also in Los Angeles. I’m so excited. I’ve been working on getting approved for almost a year now. 🎉

I am Clear Liquids only on Wednesday. Hospital gave my this high carb pre-op Ensure to drink to the morning of my surgery. Sounds like carb loading to help kickstart healing process right after surgery.

I am scheduled for 2/3. Today was difficult. Weekends are less busy and I am around all the food. Only a few more days before we join the losers bench! I am on clear liquids on Wednesday. I work Mon, Tues, and Wed so I should be plenty distracted and do fine.

I am very low energy today.

Excitement builds as we get closer.

Hi there! My sleeve is scheduled on February 17th in TJ. I've finally be able to start this life change (joined and lurked BariatricPal since 2015!) so super excited to meet everyone!

[1969gemini 4]

My surgery is also on the 17ht! I’ve ordered my Vitamins, sugar free ice pops and Protein Shakes. I start my 2 week liquid/ modification site in the 2nd.

I’m an 5 days post op and I am feeling so much better. Wish I could eat but I am still on clear liquids until my next appointment

Fellow 2/3 here

I've been on low carb but not all liquids for 2 weeks, wasn't too bad, wasn't awesome though! Tomorrow I switch to liquid only for the days before surgery, so that'll be fun 😬

I had to go get covid tested today and that came back negative, I'm so relieved because I was super worried I'd be positive randomly. Did a bunch of other pre-op stuff today too, paperwork and consent forms all that jazz. It's finally feeling real, I'm so scare-cited!

I'm on day 2, and I'm annoyed. LOL. I have a Migraine, and I'm tired, ugh. when you think of it - its a 4 week diet, because 2 weeks afterward!
