[InMyNext30Years! 42]

I'm on my 3 day of the 2 week pre-op diet and I'm am so irritable! Straight up mean! I know it will all be worth it on my surgery day JANUARY 28th 2013!!! Yahoooooo! I can't wait!

Oh I know what you are dealing with! Started my pre-op diet Monday too. I don't feel mean per se....that would take energy that I just don't have right now! I've been tired and dragging so far this week. And it will be worth it on January 28!

Hang in there! Think about the weight you will loose Pre-Op:) and the benefit of decreasing the fat around your liver so the surgeon can better do there job. It is definately not easy but you can do it !

My surgery Dec 31st- TWL=38pds

My pre-op diet start on February 1st and my surgery is scheduled for Valentine's Day! My surgeon suggests that I purchase Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacements and bars for those two weeks. Everything I've heard/read about them says they really bite. Can you all share what Protein your surgeon suggested? I would truly appreciate it. I'm trying to test and compare different ones before I commit. Thank you!

I'm having surgery on February 4....but would love to keep in touch! Your diet and grumpiness will be worth your while when January 28 rolls around!

Awesome! My pre-op diet consists of 4-8oz shakes a day. I can also have 6-8 servings of the following Decaf tea, 1/2 raw veggies, 6oz sugar free Jello or pudding, 1c v8, 6oz Greek yogurt sugar free fat free, 1/2 c unsweetened applesauce, 1/2c cream of wheat or oatmeal, I can also substitute a Protein Shake for 3oz of grilled chicken.

From what I have read on here this is an easy diet. Some people only get liquids. I guess every faculty requires different pre-op diets. I wonder why? I find that weird, we are all having the same surgery.

I feel a lot better today than I did yesterday I have to remember to eat/drink every 2-3 hours or so I became very irritable yesterday! Lol oops

Oh as for Protein shakes I have a list that I can choose from

Unjury-I like so far I purchased the sample pack from their website.

Bariatric advantage- I haven't tried there is no sample pack in their website

Gbc performance whey isolate28- didn't try

Genisoy ultra xt- can't find

Isopure- my fav! But more like a juice than a shake comes in a bottle already made got at GNC on sale but 3 get one free

Syntax nectar- going to Vitamin shoppe to buy a sample now!

Jay Robb- my other favorite! I got a sample pack from their website too

Blue bonnet- cant find

Optimum nutrition- didn't try yet

What chewable supplements are you using for after?

[SoCalDixieGal 172]

I get the joy of being on a business trip during one of my 2 liquid diet weeks . . . at a conference with cocktail reception, client dinners, etc. Yeah, that's going to be fun. I have to be charming and nice and all that crap while I sneak off to my room to make a shake. Good times!

[InMyNext30Years! 42]
