@@Camacho 933 Are you required to do a certain type of shake? If so - try adding some sugar free flavorings, PB2, cocoa powder, instant coffee, etc. to your shakes to change up the flavors a little. If you can pick your own shake - try some different kinds or some Isopure (like fruit juice). I'm supposed to have 5 Bariatric Fusion shakes a day but have only been doing 3 the last few days (just don't feel like having something sweet that often). I've been making my own broth and thankfully I'm allowed celery (that's been dinner the last 3 days). Can you have sugar free popsicles or sugar free Jello? Hang in there!!! I figure if we can get through this - post-op should be easier.

Day 2 of pre-op liquids almost over - 12 more to go! This is not easy but I'm happy to say I'm sticking with it 100%.

You can do this

They did mine were lemon and discussing. Once I was up I'd rinse my mouth w Water careful to not swallow. Throat was still dry but it helped some

Hi, I'm Shante and my original surgery date was 10/5/16 but it was cancelled the day before and rescheduled for 10/19/16 due to insurance issues.. I was so disappointed and I have to do the pre-op diet all over again!!! Just looking for some additional support.

My surgery is rescheduled for 10/19
