As I just posted above my sugery date is the same as yours. Good luck and do check in with me. My name is Maggie.

Hi Everyone,

Today is day (2) of my pre-op diet. I have only liquids ( 1000 calories a day) and 60 to 70 grams of protein, for the next two weeks. My surgery date is June 7th.

How do I feel....Commited to this process, but tired, horrible headaches ( probably detoxing from sugars, carbs, etc), and my stomach is upset. I went to the gym today, despite how I felt, and walked 3 miles, and worked out with weights. Trying to take it easy on myself...

Is anyone else on the pre-op diet yet? If so, when you experience burning in your stomach, what do you do? What has been your experience so far?  I find I cannot tolerate any of the fruit juice due to the acid... Jello, Trader Joes low fat soup, Protein Drinks and sugar free popsicles are my main stay....

Wishing everyone much love.  Looking forward to this journey with all of you.

My pre op liquid diet starts Tuesday, May 31. It is clear liquids and protein drinks of 70 grams a day. I do get to have sf Popsicles and sf jello. I am shopping for it this weekend. I figure that 2 weeks will be the hardest for me, but I can do it. I am excited.

Thankfully, I dont have a long pre op diet. Just the 2 days before all clear liquids and sugar free jello. Cant wait to get this show on the road. Only 5 weeks left!

 I guess I can see the benefits of Optifast or other meal replacements--it completely takes out the guesswork of what and how much.  

Has anyone started getting ketone breath?  I hate it, but I know it is a sign that pre diet is working ;)
