Yes, I liked it. If you google bjbariatrics, you can order sample packs of all the favors.

I am on day 6 of pre-op diet......It is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be...I was miserable the first few days....I am allowed 3 carnation instant with simply smart milk, 1 small serving of fruit a day, 1 yogurt or ff ss pudding, Popsicles, and jello...bought the variety pack of shakes but I only like the chocolate...to top it all off..it is that time of the month and I am backed up (tmi sorry)....anyone else having issues?

I know I saw several people getting sleeved on August 6th like me. I began my pre-op liquid diet today and am getting super excited and nervous!!!

What is your pre-op diet like' date=' did you eat any of your favorite foods last week (I know I had a few meals of my favorites), what do you find most exciting/most scary?[/quote']

You will be just fine! No nerves!

_{I am on day 8 of my preop diet and I am down 12 pounds so far. I have to say that I miss chewing food...hell, I miss tasting food and am looking forward to the time when I can actually do that. I was counting and it looks like I have at least 6 days like this, then three days Clear liquids and then 3-4 more days of the liquid like now before moving on to pureed foods. <sigh>}

_{Still nervous about being in surgery and have already started to worry about leaks and that I will be a slow loser.}

Day 4 of preop diet.. 5lbs down, 6 days till surgery!! I'm nervous, excited, terrified and anxious all at the same time... Lol.. This journey is going to be a roller coaster... Ahh here we go...

Okay, so I've been pretty yucked out today drinking liquids again so call me masochistic but I wanted to see some of hte things I could eat AFTER I come off of liquids and soft foods. I headed over to the recipe forum here on Vertical Sleeve Talk and from there found the emilybites website. Then I found yumminess in the dinner muffin/cupcake section which shows how to create some wonderful savory cupcakes using wonton wrappers (which are low carb) in the place of Pasta and she has such a variety...lasagna, taco, meatloaf, buffalo chicken, french dip, etc. So I am stoked to try some of these when I get to that point.

Just thought I would share.

One week to go and worried about leaks, infections, dehydration, etc. I keep thinking, maybe if you tried one last time to lose weight you would be successful. In reality, I haven't been successful in keeping my weight down for the last 20 years. I'm glad I've told lots of people about having this surgery, because I feel like I might chicken out otherwise. My brain is my worst enemy!

Very curious to hear how those taste. I saw those the other day too.

The lasagne wonton cupcakes are good...I've had them before when I did weight watchers.

Hey guys! I'm an August 6th-er as well. I just received my surgery date yesterday (I think someone had canceled/rescheduled their sleeve) Super excited!

Today was my first day of the liquid diet. It hasn't been as awful as i anticipated. Of course, I'll probably be singing a different tune by Day 3.

Awesome to see so many people getting sleeved on the same day.

[PGee 318]

Loftyleo, welcome! How exciting that it's happening so quickly for you! Welcome to the 8/6 Club!

I'm an August 6 patient, too. I'm so nervous. I'm having such a hard time with this pre-op diet. It's all mental, I know. I'm staying strong and making it through to surgery day! I'm not weighing myself yet, but I'm not sure if I've lost any/much. I have two small sons and a husband. I'm doing this for them as well, but I'm terrified I will have a complication and not be around for them!! Sorry for the rambling!

[PGee 318]

I can't find appropriate clothes to wear to the office this morning......my pants are too big! I've tried putting a belt on them, but the pants just hang from the belt and look silly

I haven't lost much weight, but looks like it's all in my waist....now if my hips would shrink at the same rate, I could go down a size LOL

For TJohnson.....I think we all have our fears.....best wishes to you.
