Y’all I am currently working on my last pre op appointment and this is a lot to take in! Wonder why some doctors said premier protein shakes and mine said absolutely not… they did sort of explain that premier is blended protein and won’t fully absorb, but why are doctors so different ??

Surely no one would be that awful. I believe no one on our group would be that disrespectful. So far everyone here is extremely helpful!

Welcome welcome welcome! The more the merrier!

See the thing with my baby child is she is quite literally a mini me. She loves all the same things as me and hates all the same things🤦‍♀️

So for those already on the pre op diet how are you getting around wanting to nibble while you cook for your family? I am a single mom and if I don’t cook my child will starve to death but I always nibble while cooking!

I am still on the fence with mine. I am not sure if I want steak or pasta!

There are about 4 of us September 12 people now! What is everyone planning for a last meal? And those of you who have already started what did you eat for the last meal???

So the groups word is nervited lol. We are collectively nervous and excited! My last pre-op appointment is 8/23 and surgery 9/12

Welcome to the group!

Y’all on here talking about adding tickers and such and I can’t even get a profile picture to stay🤣

You are my surgery twin! We got this girl

I am thinking I may stay mostly liquid cause blending just doesn’t sound good at all. I have texture issues anyways and I feel that would just wreck those issues and ruin food all together!

My last pre op is on the 23rd! I find out what my liquid diet days will consist of and y’all I am nervous! A friend at work and I have started eating better at work and as I said before I can’t loose much weight or I will be knocked out… So far I have lost nearly 5 pounds and have been watching very closely to make sure I just maintain that. I am telling y’all if I get this close to my surgery date and get knocked out for a pound or two cause I started eating cleaner at work I am going to be so upset!!!!

I think we are all just trying to baby step our way through this! As my final pre op appointment gets closer I am getting more anxious and definitely frustrated with myself for not doing better but right now I can only do so much because if I do too much I will be below the requirements set by my insurance. I feel like I am just stuck with no forward movement as far as goals…

Maybe you could thin it down.

Well guys I made it through the night kitchen intact. Decided to have a small snack and call it a day! It’s a new day and welcome all our new September peeps!!! I am so happy all of you are going to fight this with us! Good luck in your journey-our journey and keep us posted on problems, goals and all things good bad and ugly!!!!

Let me just say that days like today are so hard!! I think I have been hit by so much from every side today and kind of all back to back! I have been trying to keep up a decent diet yall but today I am not sure if I should eat everything in sight or nothing at all!!! How do y’all get through these days???

I have not written in mine yet either I will start when I start the pre op diet. That’s when I figure it is definitely gonna happen. 😂 I am like you and scared to jinx it.

When does your diet start? I have not heard of limited calories either😳

I am not sure yet. They will tell me on Aug 23rd. I am hoping for a week tops lol.

I have one daughter away at college that is super supportive of this and the one still at home with me is not happy about it. Lol. She says I can’t be pretty and skinny that just isn’t fair. Meanwhile she definitely got all the good genes Ms. 5”11 all leg blonde bombshell 🙄. My dad is excited for me but no one is going to do the full diet with me except you guys!!

I have been on Pinterest looking for good soup recipes! And my work buddy swears she is going to only eat soup with me🤣

Mlewis87 we definitely need to help each other through weak points of the liquid diet! I know it is going to be rough!
