That is so funny... I go in tomorrow and I have been cleaning, cleaning and cleaning.

You got this!!! Today is my last day of liquids with my pre-op stomach. Keep your eye on the prize. Nothing tastes as good as being healthy is going to feel!!!!

Yeah!!! You go girl. How exciting!!!!

Congrats on your date. You will be fabulous 50!!! I am on Oct. 7th. I have over a 100 pounds to lose.

On my 6 month I just could not gain 1 pound. Started 6 month Jan. 2014. Ended July 2014. But it keeps going because then I went to surgeon consult (July 2014) and could not gain even 1 pound until pre op appt. (Sept. 23rd). Now as long as I stick to pre op liquid diet ( have now for 12 days) no way to gain weight. (Have lost over 15). I have one more weigh in on the day of surgery. Surgery Oct. 7th.

Yes. All with water. Prayers are going up for you. You will do great.

Charlene what state are you in?

Also I have not been hungry except sometimes when I first wake up. I drink lots of water. Don't get me wrong... to bite it into a piece of pizza sounds good but I've learned that's only head hunger not real hungry. Lol.

1 scoop is 30 grams of protein. I am on a 1000 calorie diet but sometimes only get in 800 which is 4-5 shakes a day.

Joy... Chicken broth has saved me when I am getting that head hunger. ????

Mine is Oct. 7th also. What state are you in?

Congrats!!!!

Yeah!!! I love prayers. Mine is 10/7.

I heard it does not. Someone told me don't bother buying it. But just one opinion. ????

You got this Tina.

I like The body fortress whey protein also. You can get it at Walmart. I am on pretty much the same thing. Sugarfree Popsicles sugarfree Jell-O and chicken broth. I can only have water to drink with Crystal light. I like to make my smoothies with Crystal light in them. There is a powdered peanut butter that I use because I like chocolate and peanut butter. Also if you want just a premade protein drink Premier protein is awesome. It has 30 g of protein and 5 g of carbs. You can get those at Costco and I also get them at super one. I don't know if you have a super one. I make almost all my own smoothies and with ice because I like that shake texture. The muscle milk sugar-free Vanilla is also awesome in a premade protein drink.i carry a small cooler everywhere I go.

I have lost over 15 pounds in 10 days on my pre surgery liquid diet. And have not been hungry.

Great idea with the stats. I am going to do that too!!

Glad to hear it is getting better. ????

Good luck AuriP. Woo hoo!!!!

Right back at ya!!! Thanks.

Some surgeons require it... Some don't. Some are all liquid. Some allow 1 meal high in protein with liquids???? Some only clear liquid day before surgery.

Congrats!!! How exciting. I am Oct. 7th.

Welcome to October surgery peeps!!! I am Oct. 7th. WA.

Sorry to hear that. It's definitely not easy... But keep reminding yourself it's for the better and you are strong. I have been pretty fortunate that I have not been hungry. Just head hungry but the chicken broth seems to curb that.
