Just found out yesterday that I'm scheduled for August 12th! I'm now calling my approval letter my 2nd birth certificate, LOL.

I'm on the 12th too I'll be praying for us all!

[Deweydoer 111]

stephwellman, are you freaking out a little about the soft diet before your surgery? I'm hoping I don't screw it up, eating according to a prescribed menu has not been my strong suit.

[stephwellman 131]

Yes I was totally freaking but once your stomach and mind get on the right level with each other you'll do fine I'm on day 11 of a 28 day diet and it's all smooth sailing SO FAR.... At least till Monday when I'm on total liquids for 2 weeks on the plus side I've lost 4 pounds since I've started!

[Deweydoer 111]

Glad to hear that you are being successful! I'm going to meet pre-op with my doctor on 6 August and I have a ton on questions.

I like the Premier Protein they are pretty good! I was getting them from Walmart (4 in a pack $6) but now get them from SAMs Club (12 per box $16.99) I have tried both the powder and the pre made. I take the pre made and a cup of frozen fruit and put it in my bullet blender and its yummy! I hope when I get to my pre op diet I can continue adding the fruit!
