I am traveling 4 weeks after surgery and I am hoping to have my new eating regiment somewhat worked out. I know there will be a lot of trial and error as well as new eating habits. I was also hoping to have lost a little before my big trip! Any advice??

Thanks everyone!!! I will try to start walking more and i have been really pushing myself to drink more water/fluids. i struggle with this!!

I am curious to know what type of pre diet i will be given. I go Next Tues. to find out. I also would love to try to lose 10 -20 lbs. before surgery. Good luck with everything and let me know how your liquids are going when you get started!!

My surgery is June 6 and I start my liquid diet next week. Please Please offer me any suggestions. I have tried to start by drinking a protein shake for breakfast and eating a low calories small lunch, but next comes just liquids. Give me strength!!! Good luck every one!!!

Don't stress it will all work out!! Call first thing in the morning and get the ball rolling with the Dr. You were lucky they went ahead and scheduled your surgery. I had to wait until everything was approved before they would schedule it. Sending lots of positive thoughts and prayers your way!!

Hi, my surgery is in 3 weeks and I have my pre-op visit next week. I am very nervous about the pre-op diet.What are you eating and how many calories are you allowed per day?? I guess I am not sure what optifast is??? Good luck with your surgery and keep up the good work with your pre-op diet. Please give me any suggestions that you have that will help me to be strong and on the right track. Best of luck over the next few day!!!

It is only 3 weeks until surgery. I am excited but also a little nervous. I have been trying to lose a little weight before surgery and it is not going very well. I have my pre-op visit in 1 week. I am hoping they will give me a strict pre-op diet so I can get my body ready and possibly lose a few pounds before I start this journey. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me prepare???
