My surgery is June 9th with pre op on June 2 and 5. I start my liquid diet may 27th. Between now and then, I'm going to start out with one Protein Shake as a Meal Replacement, increase my Water intake and increase my walking. I would live to get 2 miles in each day. My plan is to do this for one week, then switch to two Protein Shakes and one well planned meal. There will be Snacks, almonds, yogurt, etc.. In my mind if I do a "pre op" before the actual pre op, it may be less difficult

I'm June 9th as well. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. 3 Protein Shakes a day. 6-8 glasses if Water. I can add crystal light ( sugar free) or sugar free kool laid for taste. I can also have sugar free Jello, broth or Popsicles. The main thing is at least 60 gr of Protein. Low sugar and low fat and lots of water. I'm ready for this! for the last week, I have enjoyed some of my favorite meals as I am saying good bye for now. One day when I can eat these foods again, I will have the control to do this in moderation. I'm very lucky... I have a great support system. My husband is going to have a sleeve done as well. He is not scheduled yet. He's going to drink protein shakes for supper with me to be supportive. I know we can all get through this! Surgery is just two weeks away.

My husband is also going to have a sleeve done. I will do mine first and hopefully he will be approved for July. It makes it so much easier when the people you are closest to are supportive and in my case going through the same thing. We haven't told our teenage kids yet. I plan to tell them the weekend before. They are both wrapping up the school year and have finals looming, so I decided to wait till tests are done. So that means the weekend before my surgery. I believe they will be supportive and caring when they realize how major this surgery is. But for now.., I'm heading to the Carolina coast for a work function and lots of fun in this beautiful springtime sun....anyone want to tag along:)

I'm June 9th. From what I've read in these forums the first couple weeks should be the worst. I can't wait. I start my pre op diet on 5/27
