Omg..I am having the same thoughts (my surgery is scheduled for February 11th). I am so conflicted, lots of thinking to do:/

Hi,

It seems to be intensifying as it draws closer. I'm at the point just do it already so I can stop debating it in my head.

I haven't tried them yet but stopped at GNC on my way home from work today. I bought 4 of the Isopure Protein Drinks. They are buy 3 get 1 free so it was a better deal. Total was $16. They are 24 oz so two servings a bottle, 40 grams of protien total, 0 carbs. From what I read/videos, people either love or hate them. The main reason I decided on these was the are like Gatorade instead of a shake which I don't like. Will let you know how they taste :)

I am having surgery February 6th, have been on the 2 week pre-op diet since Wed, and lost 3 lbs! It is not too bad, 1000 cal, low carb...I am looking forward to getting to the other side of the surgery as well.

my preop is the 1st, surgery the 18th, taking 10 days off of work,, then going to have help for 4 days, then off again for 5 days, I don't care what kind of diet they put me on, I do better with rules then free reign LOL going to keep posting my whole experience, I don't have a whole lot of weight to lose, my bmi is 34 but I am short, this for me is preventative medicine, my mother died very young with horrible diabetes and heart issues, not going to let it happen to me. I am very determined and dedicated to this. Mary

Woohoo!! I'm on the 18th as well! Best of luck

I'm feb 6th as well and I started pre op diet on Wednesday as well but only one pound lost but I'm also fighting against the Water weight gain due to my cycle. I hope to see a significant weight loss by next week. Have to at least get to my original consult weight or they won't do the surgery. If you are one puns over the weight that you weighed on your first consult visit the day of surgery they will cancel the surgery so that being said I am on pins and needles

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
