I'm from Romeoville had my surgery at Silver Cross in New Lenox on Ape 17th. Hello my fellow Chicago-ians!

Hi!!

Not really looking forword to it but I know I need to do it and get used to changing my eating habits. What about you?

I'm not excited. I almost cried at the thought of it. But I think if I make my own Protein Shakes and make them good and thick it'll fill me up for a while. But I tell you this, in not going to want to see a sf Jello after this.

Start my pro op diet tomorrow for two weeks' date=' surgery on the 14th. Doing medifast meals and shakes.[/quote']

I start mines also. How are you feeling about it?

Started my pre-op liquid diet and counting down the days until surgery! How is everyone doing on their pre-op diet ? Good luck everyone !

I start mines tomorrow. Feel like crying. But it's for a good cause. Good luck

Thank you all I was in the store and I was actually about to cry. I don't know why but I was. I'll probably be on here more than I usually do, venting and being a cry baby about so bare with my LBT family.

good luck,i wont say its easy cuz its not,lol but ull do fine , Walmart has some pretty tasty Protein shakes and so does GNC.. i went thru that not ery long ago and am back on it now,lol all i know is by the end of it ull be soo sick of em.. again good luck

thanks

GOTCHA. YOUR SURGERY IS THE DAY BEFORE MINE, MAKE SURE YOU SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE! THE GAS PAINS I KEEP HEARING ABOUT, SCARE ME A BIT....

I definitely plan to share The gas pains scare me also Just get some gas x or something that will work for you. looking forward to your updates. the day will be here before you know it

I also use the GNC total Protein. It has 25 g of Protein and only 6 carbs. It taste really good too. I especially like the vanilla bean. I found that the muscle milk light had a bad after taste. My doc says that as long as I can put it in a blender, I can have it. I've been buying campbell Soups and blending them for dinner. It's better than just broth.I like the chicken noodle ones. Good luck!

very good idea. I wonder if I can get away with that. Every idea helps. Keep sharing

I KNOW POST SURGERY: Water, CLEAR broth, sugar free Jello, ECT. THEN GRADUALLY ADDING SUBSTANCE: APPLE SAUCE, MASHED POTATOES

I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT THE PRE-DIET CONSISTED OF... Sheesh! :-D

yes. A total of 4 weeks of liquids for me... all that you stated.

Im glad you posted this topic because I was wondering myself. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and I have to do it for two weeks. Good luck ladies

It seems this day has crept up on me. One day Im thinking, wow May 1st is a few weeks away and now here i am today thinking, Ok! tomorrow is the very beginning. Im hoping and praying that I do well on this liquid diet. Im not sure what to think at this moment. Im just trying to keep a positive mindset. I want this and I want it to be right. I dont want to fail. My biggest problem right now is finding a Protein shake that will help me feel full and that will taste great. Im headed to the store this evening to pick up my items.

Im excited and nervous at the same time. this feels weird. I havent been this emotional since I gave birth to my two children.

Keep me in prayer.And to all the May bandsters, good luck with everything. I'll be posting in my blog. The support is needed greatly. Please stop by. Thanks for allowing me to vent.
