Hello i am new here

Bigger, smaller picture...LOVE that :)

Hi! I have been on here for a couple weeks now and the sage advice from these wonderful folks who are going through the same thing has been sooo very helpful to me. I'm in East Central Florida and scheduled for surgery on May 2. I have learned so much from just reading the posts. Good luck to you!

My surgery is may 5th. I am going crazy on the pre op diet. I am lightheaded and hungry. Trying to find some will power to get through the next 20 daus.

BB- May 5th will be here, before you know it!!! Hang on there!!!!

Thanks

With my surgeon its 14 days. I start Tuesday. He slowly works you into it by first one hake a day for 2 weeks, then 2 shakes a day for 2 weeks, then 3 shakes a day and nothing but clear no calorie liquids in between. From what I understand after 3 days or so your body gets sort of used to it and it starts getting easier to tolerate. Best of luck to you! Hang in there!

Today is a much better day. I think my body was just in shock from full solids to just liquid. I'm up now having 6 calorie jello as I'm hungry. I am so drained in the days but its going to get better 18 days to go. Let me know what shake you are on and if you like it. I'm om SlimTime and it really doesn't taste bad.

I don't have the list the doctor gave me with me today. I will send it tomorrow. So far, the only shakes I have been drinking are Premier Protein. That is what they recommend because it has 30 grams of Protein. They don't taste too bad. Hard to find them in flavors other than chocolate and vanilla. I have also tried the banana and caramel flavors. I found the strawberry this weekend and have yet to try that. I really like the banana. You can also buy them in bulk for less at the wholesale stores like Costco and BJ's (only come in vanilla and chocolate). They are also available on Amazon.

Forgot the durn list again! I will try to remember to bring it tomorrow (if I don't eat it!). Started the liquid diet today @$%@#%&^*^(&(&.

I am going mad on the pre op diet i don't want to drink it so I've been sleeping which is horrible. I cheated lastnight the repercussion were horrible. DON'T CHEAT! Make sure you consume whatever you are allowed .....
