I'm meeting my nurse and dietician today and my doc next week. My clinic doesn't tell you about the next diet stage until this appointment so you don't get food overload - so I'm very excited. I was 114kg when I began the pre-op diet, I was 109kg for surgery and I'm 104kg today. I use Bodiez Protein Water to get my protein in. The Kiwi and the Berry flavour are 30g each. The bottles are 500ml, so one of these a day helps with protein and water, and they're quite nice (considering I don't like cordial I didn't think I'd like flavoured water). I've also been buying some of the Woolworths soups from the dairy case. The chicken or lamb type ones are low in fat but high in protein, and I just blitz/blender them for a few secs until they become a complete liquid. Hope all is going well for everyone xoxo

I'm in Australia and my surgery date was 26th October too. Today I begin clear fluids. Still feeling a bit bloated and gassy though. I'm due to be discharged tomorrow. I'm really glad this is what I decided to do. The pre-op was so thorough, and I'm keen to begin a new life. Good luck all!
