Start or enjoy!

Hi. My surgery is also October 5. So far I've just been testing out different Protein Drinks and focusing on things like eating cleaner. I'm still enjoying a favorite food occasionally, but no "last meal" binges. I want to stay out of that mentality since it is a slippery slope for me.

I cut out carbonation and caffeine. That was not as hard as I thought it would be. I've started drinking more Water.

My doctor only requires a pre-op diet for BMI over 50. My BMI IS 42.6. But I'm planning to do some kind of liquid diet at least for the week prior to surgery. I feel safer that way.

Good luck! I'm brand new here and getting nervously excited, but hopefully we can support each other as we go through it all!

i have a 6 month wait before i even get a date per my insurance ive already cut out soda and juice i am starting to cut out bread. i dont eat Pasta much any more. i still enjoy the occasional chocolate treat and a sip of the hubbys slushee from 7-11. but my surgeon requires a 2 week liquid diet to shrink the liver ill be doing the Atkins shakes for that and probable Premier Protein after surgery or cyntrax because of the fruty flavors they have
