Two weeks to surgery starting liquid only

I am on a liquid only diet with 4 protein shakes and 64 oz of sugar free liquids and chicken broth. But I am determined to succeed and i know i can do it. That we can all do it. Good luck on your surgery I can't wait to talk with you after your surgery in a few days. Good luck!!!!

 30 lbs is awesome....I told my husband who doesn't want the surgery that the optifast would be a good option for a 30 to 60 days with medical supervision...

Iorindac,

You and I are having our surgery the same day. I am so happy for you, I feel lucky my doctor does not feel a liquid diet is nesessary. I am just on a low card high protein diet. I am doing 70gm of protein and less then 40gram of carbs. Of course I have been doing this for the last several months and lost a total of 50lb.  I am going to have one last day to eat I am going to have several slices of pizza 9 days before surgery and the Dr. gave me the OK for that. I have cut done on alot of other things no sugar no coffee and decaf tea. I hope you all do great and my thoughts and prayers go out to you..

I am scheduled for the same day. I am so excited! And tomorrow I begin my preop diet, a little anxious about that. I am doing this for my husband and kids. I have weighed as much as 285 and I feel it wearing on my body.

Like I said, I am anxious about what tomorrow begins but I look forward to a whole new life!!!

Congrats! I am not only doing this for myself but for my daughter who is my joy and my life. as far as tomorrow drink plenty of fluids and the sf jello and popsiciles helps out alot. I am on my second day i started early because i felt that if i can do it over the weekend then the week will be a piece of cake.. Since we are scheduled the same date we can be each others motivators for the next two weeks.

Well we are all just right here together.  Mine is the day after yours on the 21st.  Good luck!
