Well I am two days from having my surgery (GS) and I am nervous, excited etc... I am so tired of chicken, beef broth, I don't do vegetable broth don't like the taste, are there any others out there that I don't know about. Oh yea, I also get Won Ton soup without the won ton and Pho. Was wondering about bone broth. Has anyone tried it? Any and all suggestions are helpful. Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! Moonlitrose25 I just got some Ramen thinking the same thing

Yea I feel you on this pre op road! I have wanted to cheat but I tell myself that if I cheat now I will cheat post op and I don't want the problems that come with that. It was suggested to me to write a goodbye letter to my favorite foods (which is plenty) but my biggest down fall is Crackling and Boudian balls. So sometime between now and the 14th I will be writing that letter. Good luck and WE can do this!!

Hello all! I just started my pre op diet 5 days ago. Today was the first time I have gone grocery shopping for my family. I HATED IT!!! It is just me and hubby and he eats all the cookies, cakes, chips (what I call the 3 C's) he wants to without gaining an ounce! We were in the store and for some reason I saw all these new kind of chips (one of my vices) that I would have normally tried. I got so angry that I almost started to cry! I worked through it but man this may be harder than I thought. While I was still eating (the right foods) I didn't have any problem with going to the supermarket. IJDK! I really didin't like that feeling! Be safe and love yourself! :)

Are you talking about the protein shakes? If so, I have not seen any unflavored one's but the one's that I am using for my 2 week pre op are flavored Strawberry shortcake and Cinommin bun. The are made by Bariatric Fusion and they are pretty good, I mix them with unsweetened Almond milk.

May 14 here! On my 4th day of protein shakes. Did anyone have issues with the runs while on the 2 week pre op fast?

Hello,Djay from TX here. I am still waiting on my date and getting more nervous by the day. I am hoping that I get a late March mid April date. Where is everybody of this group? Chat with ya'll soon

Hello, I am on my last 2 visits with the nutrionist and I am starting to wonder if I can do the pre op 2 week protein shake prep. I am so nervous. I have already lost 40lbs. just by doing what the nutritionist has suggested. So now I am second guessing myself. Has anyone else felt this way close to surgery? Thanks Djay

Thanks ProjectMe for the encourgaing words. I know I am all in my head trying to talk myself out of this when I know it is the best for me. The other hard thing I am finding is to take smaller bites of my food. Some days I do really well and others I can actually "see" myself taking bigger bites. So much to learn but I know I can do this. CowgirlJane, I have tried so many times to lose weight on my own and always wind up gainning it all back and then some. So yeah, I'm ready for the permanent.
