I got a surgery date.....

I recieved a phone call today and my surgery date has been scheduled for August 8th.....SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!

So I need to be on a clear liquid diet for a week...I was hoping to get some ideas from you all as to what you used during this time....

I thought that I heard wrong about the clear liquid diet but when the time gets closer, I will know more...It just seems that protein drinks should be included but they are not "clear"...What did you guys do during your pre-op liquid phase....

Thanks....

Congratulations!!!!        I can't wait to be where you are right now! Prayers are with you, keep us posted.

Thanks, it does go by pretty quick....the longest wait for me was getting the surgery date....it took about one week ( in know, not long but seemed liked eternity).

Can't help with the clear liquid/protein thing because I only had to do 1 day of it. But, I'm so happy to hear you got your date. Be sure to keep us posted as the time draws near. You're going to love love love your sleeve.  

CONGRATS to you........... It will be here before you know it.  I only had to do 1 day of the liquid diet and just had water and broth.  Each surgeon is different as to how many days and what they expect.  Good luck to you.........and keep us posted.

CONGRATULATIONS! 

It will be here before you know it.  I am 4 years out now and it is the best time I have ever done for myself.  I had to do 10 days of clear liquids and if I remember right, it was chicken broth, water, tea....anything you could see through.  Each surgeon's program is different so they will let you know for sure what you need to do to get ready for your big day!

Thanks everyone...I found out that I meet with the dietician and RN to discuss my pre-op and post op eating schedule....I will know more then....I am thinking that I have protein shakes worked into the diet some where....I will definitely keep you posted and I hope that the sleeve treats me as well as it has treated everyone else....

Congrats!  You are on your way to something great.  I only had one day of liquids, so I can't help you there.  I just wanted to wish you the best of luck.
