  1. Great suggestions. Thank you all so much. I'm getting sick of Jello
  2. Started my pre op liquid diet yesterday and i tried the broth. Unfortunately I felt like vomiting. Is there anything I can do to help with this? Thanks in advance. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Lala
  3. I purchased the slim fast 321 shakes and I noticed that they make two kinds. One is low carb and the other isn't. I purchased the wrong one. Question is, would it make a difference while doing my pre-op diet? I'm worried now. I didn't know please help me out
  4. I love this!! WTG! I am on day 1 and Im trying to figure out ways to stay ahead of my hunger. This is a very nice plan. Good for you hon!

    Day 1 has arrived and is almost at an end. I've wondered for weeks what this day would feel like. Now that its here, many emotions. I guess Im just so focused on not trying to think about it, that I, of course, think about it. I've felt hungry once but Im constantly trying to figure out ways to make fulfilling shakes that it's keeping my mind occupied. Dinner will be here soon, hopefully I can handle preparing it and being around while my family eats. Trying to remain prayerful and Im hoping that these days go by quickly. Keeping busy is my main focus while trying not to lose my mind.
  6. Hi!!
  7. I'm not excited. I almost cried at the thought of it. But I think if I make my own protein shakes and make them good and thick it'll fill me up for a while. But I tell you this, in not going to want to see a sf jello after this.
  8. I start mines tomorrow. Feel like crying. But it's for a good cause. Good luck
  9. Thank you all I was in the store and I was actually about to cry. I don't know why but I was. I'll probably be on here more than I usually do, venting and being a cry baby about so bare with my LBT family.
  10. I definitely plan to share The gas pains scare me also Just get some gas x or something that will work for you. looking forward to your updates. the day will be here before you know it
  11. very good idea. I wonder if I can get away with that. Every idea helps. Keep sharing
  12. yes. A total of 4 weeks of liquids for me... all that you stated.
  13. Im glad you posted this topic because I was wondering myself. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and I have to do it for two weeks. Good luck ladies
  14. It seems this day has crept up on me. One day Im thinking, wow May 1st is a few weeks away and now here i am today thinking, Ok! tomorrow is the very beginning. Im hoping and praying that I do well on this liquid diet. Im not sure what to think at this moment. Im just trying to keep a positive mindset. I want this and I want it to be right. I dont want to fail. My biggest problem right now is finding a Protein shake that will help me feel full and that will taste great. Im headed to the store this evening to pick up my items. Im excited and nervous at the same time. this feels weird. I havent been this emotional since I gave birth to my two children. Keep me in prayer.And to all the May bandsters, good luck with everything. I'll be posting in my blog. The support is needed greatly. Please stop by. Thanks for allowing me to vent. Lala
