That is awesome! I have been wondering about that.

Well, that sure makes sense. I'm gonna call him about that. Thank you.

It's a great little town in the mountains, next time you are here you should visit!

Good Luck! You will be fine, but I bet you don't get an ounce of sleep tonight! (I know I won't) Please keep us updated! Don't forget chapstick.

Congratulations! I am on day 4 of my pre-op diet, and I could eat my arm. The first 3 were fine, but today.... I am starving. Does it get easier?

My doc isn't having me do the cleanse. Just for my own info, what are the reasons for this cleanse. I don't want to poop on the table or anything...

Welcome! I'm also on the 14th and ready to chew my arm off today! The first 3 days were fine. Today, I am starving!!! I'm from Utah.

I have Bariatric Fusion. Tropical flavor. You take 4xday, and they taste pretty darn good. I paid $25 for a 1 month supply. My doc suggested these because they also have Iron in them. I didn't like the orange flavor.

It's strange how pre-op diets differ so much. I am "very low calorie" for 2 weeks. 2 shakes, 2 ff greek yogurts and 1 small meal per day up until the day of surgery. Maybe they tailor the diet to how much you weigh, or if you have diabetes, or? I just find it interesting.

I would rather be in pain than have nausea. Great question- I can't stand throwing up either. I will remember to say something the day of surgery!

Seriously? I want to leave early, but that doesn't seem right. My doctor said I could go as long as my heart rate stayed normal and they knew I was peeing and uncomfortable (not in extreme pain), I could go.

I am also on a similar pre-op diet for a 14th date of surgery. What kind of shakes are you drinking? I have found great success with the Premier shakes from Costco. They have 30 grams of protein and are very low in carbs. What about excercise? Water? Fiber? Sometimes, when I have lowered my fiber -ex. in a high protein diet I can't "go" to save my life, and need a bit of help if you know what I mean... One thing that is different with my diet, is that I get 2 servings of fat free greek yogurt in between my shakes. I am loosing about 1/2 lb per day. Hope this helps!

On the last leg of the beginning of my new life! I start my pre-op tomorrow. 2 Shakes, 1 snack (high protein), and 1 very small high protein meal with small serving of cooked vege. I almost want to go liquid all the way to maximize my weightloss. I am so ready!!!

I am so glad to hear that! I went through the same thing! I had my pre-op this morning and am going in on 2/14. So excited!

I had my pre-op today and quizzed both my Dr and his asst about the smell, acne, etc. He said he hadn't had that complaint, only hormone changes with diabetic patients, of which I don't have any sign of. I'm just going to follow everything to a "t" and hope for the best!

Just had my pre-op, and I will have to stay only 2 nights as long as there are no complications. He didn't anticipate any, but I guess you never know!

I just have them while I'm in the hospital.

It will go super fast! This is the 3rd time my date has changed since October, due to insurance issue, and then a herniated disc in my back. I am now on the 2 week count down and nothing is stopping me!

I guess Capt'n Crunch is totally out of the question...lol

My problem is cooking dinner for everyone. I think they will have to fend for themselves for awhile, as I have decided to go on a walk at that time!

Good Luck! If you are anything like me, you won't be sleeping much tonight. On the 14th, I will join you on the loser's bench!

me too! Mine is very similar! Starting tomorrow! Good luck!

I am pre-op, and I'm drinking it all the way up to surgery. I only drink a very large cup in the morning, but when I have quit before, I only had a headache for 1-2 days. I figure for surgery day, I won't know whats going on and the day after, probably not much better. I love plain black coffee. I hope someday I will be able to enjoy it again, most likely a smaller cup!

Good Luck! I am starting my pre-op diet tomorrow and go in on the 14th. Rock on February!
