I am 52, and have spent the last 2 decades going to bed every night hating myself and my lack of grit, willpower, etc with regard to eating and dieting. I cannot express how if feels to be looking at a life changing adventure that will bring a welcomed challenge, and a focus on myself in a positive way, that I have never experienced. I learned of my insurance approval yesterday and am scheduled 9/29. 10 day pre op diet, robotic procedure, 2 nights and 3 days in hospital. Up to 6 weeks off if I can handle it... It is a weight off my shoulders, heh heh, to finally not be so hard on myself. This website has been inspirational.

I officially started my pre-op diet starting at midnight.....So far since I'm working 3rd shift all I have had is a Preimer Protein Shake- chocolate and a bottle of Sparkling Ice.... Does anyone know if the Sparkling Ice Zero Calories drinks allowed in the diet? Its 0 calories, 0 fat, 0 carbs, 0 caffeine, 0 Protein, but has Vitamins and green tea extract.

Janny - I also scheduled for 9/29! Best of luck!

Krystle - is the sparkling ice carbonated? Of so I wouldn't be allowed that on my plan. Otherwise it sounds fine.

I am scheduled for surgery on September 15, I'm nervous and excited. I've been on this journey since February when I started the leg work. My surgeon told me to loose weight before the surgery to make it safer however, I have not been told to do a liquid diet like some of you have. I am starting to try out liquid Protein shakes for post-op; as well as liquid Vitamins. Am looking forward to being part of this group as we start our count down.

You just want to give up the carbonated stuff after surgery (at least according my surgeon and dietitian).

Technically you can have clear sugar free sodas on the clear liquid diet pre-op. My nutritionist gave me a list that included 7up and Sprite. With that being said, remember once surgery happens you will no longer be advised to drink carbonated beverages so be prepared for that.
