Hi Sandy...We have the same dates!! I'm May 15th also...and I am SO exctied..I agree about the diet...The first couple of days I thought I was going to start to death!!  ...but it is all worth it...I wish you the best and keep us updated..Amy

I'm four days out from surgery and doing fine - back on clear liquids for a week now..but really no appetite - it's hard just getting in the protein drinks.   But pre-op on liquids - having pre-mixed Campbell's Soup at Hand cream soups really helped me. Just heat and drink, cream of chicken, cream of celery, cream of tomato.  I only had to do clear liquids the day before surgery (but check your surgeons instructions).  Plus I went to a juice bar that makes smoothies once a day,  located in my local grocery store and they made me a strawberry smoothie with a shot of whey protein - tasted great and made me feel like I was having something good.  The lady that worked there had also had gastric bypass with the same surgeon...small world!  Hope this helps.
