yay! that is my surgery date! Congrats!

I'm on the 18th too! And yes, the pre-op diet sucks, but just imagine what it is leading to....Since getting my surgery date and then strting the shakes, I've dropped 13 pounds, and I can feel the difference in energy and the way I walk just from that! Imagine how fun life will be once we drop some serious weight! You can do this!

I am the 11th of June (monday)and had to do my pre-op for ten days. I haven't had too bad a time on the pre-op. I have used chicken broth a lot with Unjury chicken soup during protien drink times. Unjury tastes good - haven't tried the chocolate or vanilla I got yet. Chike strawberry protein powder was good in V8 diet splash which I am allowed. Good luck with the diet. Staying extra hydrated seems to help me. I lost 14# so far.

OMG. June 18th is right around the corner!! Good luck with everything. You can do it!!! Stay strong. We all have faith in you!!!!

Gosh I am sooo happy for you! I learn when my surgery date is on Monday at the consultation. I'm not going through insurance so it will be SOON!

I feel your pain!! The Mio in my water has helped a BUNCH and I am aloud a cup of spinach a day that I savor because I can chew!

I am now 5 week post op. I would recommend sticking to the pre op diet as best as you can. I followed all of docs rules and it really helped me heal after surgery. I lost 20 pounds before surgery by following diet and working out. After the surgery I was feeling pretty good about three days later. Doc said it was because I prepared my body for the change. It got my body and mind set. Good luck and congratulations. The surgery has changed my life.

I'm June 19th. Nervous as anything but also so excited for this new start. I feel so lucky that I only have to do the pre-op liquid diet for 5 days. So I start mine next thursday. Be strong, you can do it. I'll be thinking about you!
