My surgery date is Sept 16th. I have pre-op testing tomorrow. I feel very unprepared for this and am hoping to learn a lot at my meeting with the nurse tomorrow. All I've done so far is ordered samples of Unjury.< /p>

The pre op liquid diet does get better. My surgery is scheduled for Sept 12. Tomorrow will be 1 week down of this diet. Day 4 was a bit hard because I was just so ready to chew my food. But the last few days have been really good. I space my Protein out through out the day drink my last one around 530-6pm when cooking dinner for everyone. Then I just drink drink drink Water plain or flavored till I'm about to pop. During the day I've been chewing a lot of gum as well. Hang in there guys it's all worth it in the end.

My surgery is sept 12th too! Ill start my shakes tomorrow.

Sept 9!?de2c So excited' date=' but doesn't seem real! I didn't want my body to freak out about the post-op liquid diet so I went ahead and started drinking shakes for Breakfast this month and will add lunch next month before going to straight liquids![/quote']

Preparation is always good! You go girl!

My surgery is September 9. I noticed several of you mentioned a pre-surgery laxative. Nobody has mentioned one to me.... Is that weird. Seems like it would be necessary.

Update: I had my last round of heart tests today and I have a clearance letter! I am so excited! Bring it on Sept. 10th!!! Thanks for the encouraging posts. Have a great weekend!!!

Congratulations! Your surgery is one day after mine. We will have to keep in touch.

I had to sign a Pre surg agreement that said I would NOT take any laxatives. It's interesting how different things are from surgeon to surgeon.

Day two of my pre op diet is going better than day one. After today only 5 more till my surgery. So close yet so far away!!

Just paid the rest of my balance! Everything is a goooooo.

Also just found out that my friend and I don't check into the Marriott in Tijuana until 3 pm and we get to San Diego a few hours before so we're going to make a mini vacation out of it and go see the zoo. Never been to San Diego so this will be fun!

That is awesome! I am a little jealous!

Hey guys! September 9th in Tijuana, as mentioned before.

Update: I have been following my pre-op diet: Protein Shake AM, Protein shake lunch, light salad with some form of protein (chix, fish, etc) and a protein shake later in the evening if needed. It has been working out quite well, and I have been working out pretty damn hard. 1 hour of cardio a day (most days), but I have also been lifting some weights ---which has most likely slowed my weight loss. Should I stop that? It just feels so good to lift!!! ;D

Anyway, doing well, surgery is THIS MONDAY! I am so friggin nervous, but SO EXCITED!

I am however, a little nervous about post op liquid diet. I have noticed that Isopure is very popular, so I believe I am going to buy some today. What are all of you buying for your post op?

I hope all of you are having a beautiful morning! CHEERS

Just got done with the last required appointment prior to surgery with nutritionist and the new chapter of my healthy life will begin 2 weeks from today! I can not wait to put the past behind me and start fresh!

[ladyomnom 13]

Nickie! Congratulations! I am very excited for you!
