Mine is on the 29th also. I was just told a couple of days of clear but to work diligently to lose some prior to surgery. I'm excited about this journey.

Y'all sure are quiet!! I am so excited I can't shut up LOL!

Clear Liquids only tomorrow, then nothing after midnight... I don't even have to be there until 1 pm Monday, so I'm gonna be cranky and hungry all day

Surgery is supposed to be at 3 pm. I would've liked it to be earlier, but I will take it!

I am already packing my over night bag!!! Cannot wait 9 am Monday for me

BTW - does anyone know of an app I can get on my phone that will help me track my food/protein, Water, etc.?

I use Baritastic. It let me set goals for carbs, Protein, etc. and shows a handy summary so I know how close I am to my goal. I like it!

Well I just got a call from my surgeon and since I am on oxygen the chief of Surgery called my surgeon and canceled it. This sucks. 36 hours before surgery and all prepped and ready to go and Blam canceled!!!

I'm scheduled for the 29th as well and I'm so excited! I don't know how I only just found this page today but I'm so glad I did. My pre-op diet was a bit of a struggle but now that I'm down to the last couple days there's no way I'm going to let anything stop me from staying on track. (I was a binge eater so it was really hard to only eat what was allowed. SUPER crabby and hungry on days 1-3. My insurance wouldn't cover my surgery so I'm having it done in Mexico so I'm really anxious about losing enough weight beforehand/shrinking my liver enough. I would be devastated to get all the way there and then not be able to have the procedure done.

Out of curiosity, how much weight has everyone lost so far? I'm only down 9lbs. My pre-op diet allowed for 3 Protein shakes and a lean and green meal daily and I fully took advantage of it lol. I also cheated a little on Christmas but only liquids yesterday, today and tomorrow so I'm hoping to lose a few more in Water weight. Two more days everyone!!!!

Is Gatorade considered a "clear liquid"?

[MamyBeth 27]

I'm not sure about Gatorade. The diet guidelines from my dr listed "sugar free sports drinks", but generally speaking, Gatorade is acceptable on a clear liquid diet. I personally haven't had any just because of that "sugar free" business on my paperwork.

Mine requires 4-5 Protein Shakes + clear liquids for 2 weeks (I would've loved some lean Protein and greens!!!), and I've lost about 13 lbs! That alone is pretty exciting LOL!

Good luck with your trip and your surgery @@hdd55146!!

My pre-op was I Protein Shake Meal Replacement with lean Protein and steamed veggies. But I have restricted my eating to practice for post-op. I have lost 10 lbs and tomorrow I'm two days from sleeping. Liquids only. I'm as ready as I can be.
