I have the Twisted Cherry flavor and ad one scoop to 32 ounces of water and sip on it through out the day. I mix it up in my water bottle the night before, just shaking it and leave it in the fridge overnight. A gentle shake in the morning and it's ready to go and no froth.

Hello all, My surgery (originally Sept 10) got postponed for week due to a delay on my insurance approval. I was on hour 36 of my 48 hour pre-op clear liquid diet when I heard and boy was I pissed! I've recomposed myself, spoke to the insurance company this morning and I've finally been approved! The anticipation was getting to me. Top that off with getting bit by my dog this past weekend (total fluke) and freaking out that I wouldn't be able to have surgery because of that (got put on antibiotics 'just in case'). After all of that, I'm scheduled for this Friday, Sept. 17. Starting clear liquids this morning. I'll be sure to check in when I'm post op. Thanks for being so supportive. It's so nice to know what others have experienced so I can know what to expect.

It's starting to feel real! Last week was last meeting with the dietician and my pre-op class. Surgery on Friday! This weekend I found myself eating more than I have been, a mental 'last hurrah' I guess. I felt pretty gross after all that food. I'm going for a nice dinner tonight and then shopping tonight to stock up on clear liquids/jello/etc. I start my 2 day pre-op clear liquid diet tomorrow. I will be on a week of clear liquids post-op, then 2 weeks full liquid, then on to puree. I finally told my mother about the surgery on Sunday and she was supportive (huge relief!). I'm getting nervous but all the support here is helping lots.

Jendubbd - I'm scheduled for Sept 10th with Dr. Leslie! I found it fairly difficult to get in contact with his care coordinator, left many messages that were not returned. I hope you have better luck with her. I'm still a half pound short of my presurgery weight loss and have until Sept 1st to drop it. Starting protein shakes tomorrow to make sure nothing creeps back.

Add me to the list! I have a date of Sept. 10th. I started the process in March and have been going to my monthly dietary appointments and had the last one on August 4th. I was still 0.5 lbs short of my manditory 10 lb weight loss and now I'm all worried that they will delay or reschedule me over half a pound! My weight fluctuates up to 4 pounds depending on the day of the month so I'm trying to be hyper vigilant about what I eat and exercising daily until my pre-op meeting/class/final weigh in on Sept. 1st. This is exciting and nerve wracking. I'm so glad to know I won't be the only one going in on the 10th.
