Topic: RE: PreOp Diet
Hi everyone,
I started my pre op diet today, and I have to say, it has been better than I expected. HOWEVER it is still the first day, and watching my family eat food is a bummer! I need to get used to it though. They are being as courteous as possible. Good luck everyone! I'm having lap VSG on the 15th.

Wishing you all the best on your Surgery... 
Thanks for the encouragment for the liquid diet, I am not looking to forward to it... I will take the 10 lb weight loss though..
Let's catch back up in a couple weeks to see how each other is doing.
Truly,
Dawn

I have surgery on Monday (7th) and am on day 9 of a 9 day high protein liquid diet with a clear liquid diet set for tomorrow. For mine the only difference between the 2 is that I could have meal replacement shakes. I found that sugar free popcicles are great because you can bite them, and some broth from some soups from the local chinese buffet place was a nice treat. A quart is only 3 bucks and depending on the soup I could get at least 2 cups of broth while my wife would get the rest of the contents. Good luck on the pre-op diet, at least for me it was not as bad as I was expecting.. and I lost around 10 pounds.
Good luck to both of us !!!!

Well wishing you the best of the luck on the pre-op diet. I haven't told too many people so I can't really ask for forgiveness without having to tell people. I hope the liquid diet goes by like a flash and surgery date will be here. I am SO ready too..... Best of Luck! And be sure to let us know how you are doing after surgery. Truly, Dawn

I know the feeling of total fear, I start my pre-op diet this Sat., I have already asked for forgivness from my co-workers for what I am sure will be a long next 10 days. I am scheduled for my surgery for the 14th, I am so nervous yet so ready!
Topic: RE: May 8th for me
I understand! I'm ready to move on and hopefully have a fresh and better outlook! I'm hoping I have energy out the wazoo!

I'm scared of both! I have to do 7 days of Optifast (5 drinks/2 bars a day) then the day before surgery, a clear liquid diet with mag citrate drink x 2. Not sure how I'm going to do on the liquid or mostly liquid diet. I've been doing two protein shakes a day with protein bar or fruit/yogurt as snack, but by the time dinner comes around, I am ravenous and then do not make good choices. Hopefully the first couple days will go by quickly, as I have read that later on, it isn't as hard (once you've past the starving stage LOL)!
I've had two c-sections which I wasn't under, but would have preferred to be! I had my upper endo a few weeks ago and although I was a bit nervous, found out it was nothing - I'd do it again, it was so easy. Yes, I am having Lap RNY. Best of luck to you as well! I'll add you as a friend, if you don't care!
