And it's a start!

Good morning!

I am scheduled to have a sleeve gastrectomy by Dr. B at the Dumont Hospital in Moncton on Tuesday July 12 2016.  I just started the preop Slim Time diet this morning.  I am wondering if any of you had tips and tricks for this upcoming adventure I am about to start? I am so excited but anxious at the same time!!

Extracts or no added sugar (no carbs) Jello crystals would give you some variety, with the vanilla especially. Congratulations, what an exciting time. You'll have a week in in no time and before you know it, your day will be here.

Thanks for the tips, I am six days in the pre op liquids and I am now tolerating everything.  I can't stomach vanilla at all even with extracts or Crystal Light.  I even tried to make popsicles to see if it helped, but it made it worse.  Did you get nauseated the first days, because I did and it got me worried.?

Weird it said I deleted my previous message. I added ice and blended to make a milk shake consistency. Also I added crystal light to the vanilla to change the flavour. 

I mixed my vanilla and chocolate together. I could not drink the vanilla by itself. Good luck on your surgery!

You're probably already at the hospital but just a quick note to let you know I was thinking of you, your big day is finally here! The first couple of days are ..... slow going..... but know it's the best decision you've made.

Let us know how you're doing when you get a chance. You won't need it but good luck!
