I noticed this morning a 3lbs loss so I think the iv fluids starting to come off it can only be downhill from here!

Good for you !! I am overall doing pretty well too and like you say, everything I am sipping, is thin and room temp. I think what we learn is that we are all so different but have a common factor Keep up the good work. Do you know when we start to see the scale move? I would really like that !!!

Yay im so excited. I got the call from surgeon today after 1 week I am approved I see surgeon Monday 3/17/14 to schedule. I have a ton of feelings right now. Nervous, anxious, excited...

Add me to the group! My surgery is April 7 and I'm on day 3 of two-week Clear Liquids. Excited but a bit scared as well.
I realized today that from this point on my relationship with food has changed. I'll never eat the same way again. Exciting but scary too!

I am April 7th and on 3 week pre-diet.
Breakfast: Protein Shake
Lunch: salad with 6oz lean Protein
Dinner: protein shake
Snacks: pear or apple
64oz Water
I have been losing almost .5 pound a day on this but its only been 6 days so far and I cant imagine being on liquid only.

The pre op diet does vary with surgeon but I did hear it is to shrink the liver to get to the stomach. Mine is 7 days of Protein Drinks and Clear Liquids the day before surgery. I'm sure there is not just one way to shrink the liver.

I think it really depends on the bariatric surgeon/hosp/patient/type of procedure. My Dr put me on 12 days preop and another person I over heard was 3days and some none..the reason for preop is to ensure your liver is small enough for the surgeon to get to the stomach. I was told if they open you laprascopic and your liver is not small enough you will have to have an open procedure which is cutting down your stomach. The facility im using is a center for excellence facility. I actually am doing extra days preop just to make sure! Lol my nutritionist also went over all diets we will be on how to eat and I was practicing alot of the habits for last 6 months.
