I am about to begin my new journey in a few short weeks. My surgery date is scheduled for Jan 31st. I start my pre-op diet on Jan 12th. I want to know what products/food I should stock up on to help me succeed in these first few weeks. Thanks!

Hi Kelly,
Good luck on your new venture. I just had my surgery on Jan. 7th. I am feeling good. Really excited about my new journey. Week one is down. All I could have this week was lots of Water, broth, sugar-freeJello and sugar-free popsicles. I thought it would be hard, but it really wasn't. Now on week two... I have the same options but I've added a Protein drink. I use Medifast because it's so high in Protein whcih is my goal for this week.
I didn't experience a lot of soreness so I don't know if I just came through it well, or if this is the norm. I am really excited about my future. I hope the next few weeks fly by so that I can experience my first fill. I've lot 7 lbs. in the first week and I think that is good. Let's see how next week goes.
If you need a friend to chat with, just contact me. I also am from NC.
