I've been busy getting my ducks in a row, how about you? I decided to pay someone to clean my house Monday. It's so dirty I think it will make me feel so much better coming home to a clean house.

That's what I was thinking too. I think blending would be too hard. My nutritionist said only do half servings at first so it doesn't get thick over time. Is it getting any better? I'm worried about nausea. Pain I can handle. I used to cure nausea with food, carby food. 2 1/2 days to go.

Blending or just shaking?

How are you mixing them?

In my 3 hour pre op class this is what I was told. Clear liquids for a day or two after, each person will have unique orders. After clear liquids then Bariatric protein. If you are on the Bariatric protein you will be getting the vitamins you need. Store bought protein powders don't have the vitamins. You don't need to worry about vitamins until you go to phase 1 foods, mushiies in about 2 weeks.

Rough day. Dr apt at 10:30, pre op class 12-3, hospital registration after then back to dr to pick up script they didn't give me, oh then to some specialty pharmacy to find they don't have meds in stock. All this and I was really hungry, woozy and downright cranky. I'm trying to find someone to deep clean my house. I love that idea and I'm saving so much money nit eating right now. I'm down about 8 pounds. I'm going to wait a week after surgery to weight myself. I don't want to see a gain which will occur from swelling, fluids,etc.

Hopefully they are giving you zopram I'm not worry about pain but I really dislike nausea. My normal mojo is to fix nausea with food. That can't happen for obvious reasons. Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry about that. I guess it didn't work. New on this one. MommaCEO (amy) 6/10/14 I have a bunch of pre op work to do today.

Unfortunate we have at least 2 weeks post op with shakes. For me that is over a month of shakes only.

Honestly I've been on liquids since last Tuesday and I've cheated a bit. I've been eating deli turkey. If you need to chew I like crushed ice in my protein and I tolerate jello. No more cheating today. 6 more days. I have to do my chest X-ray and EKG today, Thursday is dr apt and 3 hour pre op class. Busy week. I do t know if I have to do clear liquids right before. I've read some people do, I'm down about 8 pounds. Has anyone made a rewards list. My first five down I bought some shoes. Luckily they were on sale and Target.

Where is everybody. It's been silent here for days. Everyone suffering on liquids ????

Can't wait to hear how it goes this week for all you early June. I have one more week to go.

My inspiration jar. $5 in for each pound lost. All my weights are listed on the sides for tracking purposes.

I did have a yummy shake. I made tea from loose leaf and mixed with vanilla protein and milk. Yummy. I did buy gum to help and I might suck it up and buy sf jello and Popsicles. Today was hard. Every smell was killing me. I was super sensitive and I had a 5 year old party to go to with music and screaming. Plus it smelled fake sickly fruity. I'll ask about the juice but I think it will be no.

I am suffering from bitterness. I've read all over the for us that each pre-op diet is WAY different. Why do I get the luck of being stuck with the DR who wants 14 days liquids, no food. Also I take back everything I said about no bathroom issues, I was way wrong. I think I'm going to make a calendar and cross out days to see how far I've gotten.

Every dr. Is different. Way different. Mine does liquids only to also prep you for the liquid phase after. It's 14 days before and after. Which is crazy in my humble opinion.

You might be able to do fruits and veggies. My dr is protein only with mil 14 days pre op

Please. I know some great tasting sweetener free protein brands. Have you decided which protein to use. The issue is the Bariatric meal replacements have extra vitamins where the sweetener free proteins dont. I have to take a multi but after taking a pill might be an issue.

It was weird. Day 1-3 were fine but yesterday sucked. I even got in a tiff with hubby since I felt so crappy. I'm down 5 pounds I'm looking forward to new clothes in a normal store. It's been too long. Irritated with surgeons office. They were supposed to send the paperwork for pre op stuff last week, called wed, they didn't send it. Still don't have it.

All liquids. No food. 4 Protein shakes with milk or Water daily. If needed I can add broth or sugar free Jello or Popsicles. I don't eat sugar free stuff. I stopped eating artificial sweeteners 8 years ago. 12 days to go

Day 4 is going rough. Missing food, sick of shakes. Looking for alternatives. I made noodle Soup and strained the noodles. Helped. Family went to dinner and I skipped. Not strong enough today, too weak.

Surprisingly no bathroom issues either. I am still regular too. Always have been. We will see how the next days pan out. I've lost about 4 pounds in 3 days. So far not too bad. I skipped on a social outing last night. Didn't feel strong enough to resist baskets of tortillas chips and salsa.

The dill pickle trick was fantastic. For me so far the trick is lots of crushed ice in my Protein shakes. Hubby found an experimental produce that goes thru your throat and is reversible. He was thinking I should look into it. Dude, I'm committed to this. Let's not second guess at the 11th hour
