Going to sleep thinking today was easier than yesterday. Praying I don't dream of food/have nightmares of failing again tonight. This is such a mind game! Lol.

Pre-op diet day 3: here we go.

I finished day 9 of my 10 day pre-op diet. Tomorrow is the last day before my surgery!!! I'm so excited and yet it seams unreal. This has been a 7 month journey for me and the surgery always seems so far in the future. Even with it being a little over 1 day away it seems so far. Tomorrow I am going to finish laundry, pack my hospital overnight bag, make sure the house is 100% in shape and get ready for the big day!

Hi Everyone! I am scheduled for July 10! I am self paying, so this process is going super fast for me.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

My surgery date is July 11th too. I see a few have posted about pre-op liquid diet. My doctor put me on a 1200 calorie diet. Why the difference?

liquid diet is mainly Protein Shakes and some add in fresh veggies. I am on something similar to you. I can eat up to 1100 calories on a high protein/low carb diet. Each surgeon is different so follow what yours recommends.

Im on day two. This is pretty tough. But I know we can do it. I was dreaming about eating a cheeseburger that had pineapple in it. Yuck!! Lol. I don't even like pineapple. No idea where that came from. Good luck:)
