Day 13 Preop Liquid Diet

Today is day 13 of my pre-op liquid diet. It's my last day of the protein drink. Tomorrow all clear liquids! I've lost 12 pounds. My husband has been so supportive and followed the protein diet as well, (with a few beers) and he's down 15 pounds.

I feel fortunate that the liquid diet has gone extremely well. I added ice to most of my protein drinks and they got thick enough to curb my hunger. I mixed the flavors and mostly enjoyed the chocolate/banana combo. I'm feeling strangely calm and looking forward to my trip to the dark side on Monday with Doctor Greenbaum. lol

You go Girl! Cheers to your hubby.

Congrats on your determination and success............IMO the pre-op is one of the hardest parts! Sounds like you have a great partner!

Best wishes on an uneventful surgery & hospital stay!

Great going, best of luck on your surgery. The support of your spouse is great I can't imagine going through this without it.I hope it all goes smoothly for you.

Good Luck with Surgery and I hope you have an un-eventful recovery.

Sounds like your ready to fly. My surgeon kept on telling me one of the best indicators for post op weight loss was the pre-op diet. Your well on your way. Have a speedy recovery. 

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the fantastic support I get from this group.

Very excited for you--today must have been your surgery day! I had mine last Monday!

I have finally found someone who has Dr Greenbaum.. please tell me your experience with him i am scheduled on june 10th if the insurance ever approves me..

Hope all is well..
