Hi! I hope to join the loser's bench soon...

hopefully on Valentine's' Day.   My surgeon is Dr. George Merriman, Shreveport, LA. 

I have been told to do a 7 day preopt diet that consist of 7 items daily from the Nutrimed products.  Each day I will have 4 protein  bars + 3 of the following:  soup, shakes, pudding, drinks. I will be on clear liquids the last 24 hrs prior to surgery.  So, I really can't complain about my preopt diet.  

In addition,  I don't have to drink that yukky stuff that cleans your intestines out.  YA!  

I am awaiting approval for the surgery.  I will need to have it by Friday, I think, to be able to do my preopt diet.  Unless, Dr. Merriman lets me slide by with less days.  He wants me to lose 8-10 lbs from my highest weight of 247.  I have lost 8 of them on my own, doing the Atkins. 

Yes, I am getting excited!!! 

 

yay! i'm so jealous of your pre-op diet !!!!!!!!!!! i'm doing two weeks of liquids lol but, one week is out of the way now. only 5 more days of protein shakes.

i hope you get approved

I am also jealous of your pre-op diet! I am on liquids already and my surgery is 2/22!  I have already lost about 10 lbs from my highest, 5 of them on the liquids. 

The  hardest thing for me is being around the food I am feeding my family!
