Hey, Dawnie Doo! August 8th is right around the corner! I'm excited for you and will be checking for your updates. The liquid diet sounds a little tough to me even though I drink most of my calories majority of the time anyway, but I guess milkshakes are a total different ballgame. LOL Have you found a good brand of Protein mix you like? I was online reading and the Syntrax Nectar sounds good since they offer more than chocolate and vanilla. Have you tried them or know anyone who has? I'm going to Vitamin Shoppe since I saw they carry it and hopefully they have sample sizes. I just know after drinking so many I will need some variety.

I find that Isopure from Vitamin Shoppe is good. I'm using Bariatric Advantage tho. Actually I have both. My doc recommended a different class of shakes for pre-op...I'm gonna use Boost Shakes.

Any one post about how they felt in detail the days post op? I just wish I knew more about that.

Preop for me was three tests

1. Chest x-rays

2. Blood draw

3. Urine specimen

If you haven't had an EDG or stress test then they may also be required.

I start my pre-op diet Wednesday July 27th. I've been doing Atkins shakes or high Protein Slim Fast with one small solid meal for a couple weeks now to help ease in and also because I have a dairy allergy. So I wanted to make sure my body would tolerate that amount of dairy. So far so good!

Thanks! My surgeon said it will be an all day event for me so I guess I will have the EGD, EKG, and all of the other tests done that day. I'm guessing they will call a few days before and give me the full rundown of what will take place but it's good to know before hand what to expect.

Mines not too strict. Basically stay under 30g of carbs a day. No fats or fried foods and at least 90g of lean Protein. The only day I'm on clear liquids is the day before surgery. It's not terrible, I'm struggling mentally thinking about all the bad stuff I can't and won't be able to have. It's for the best, hang in there!
