Dec 10th is my date also!! Best Wishes to everyone!! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!! I am definetly thankful to be starting this new journey of my life in 2 weeks:)

Congrats on the date @@hadderrie8!! It's so exciting!! I feel like i am the only one who does not have a pre op liquid diet before surgery . Not sure what to think of this lol my nutritionist just said to just eat light the week before surgery. I feel the same way the surgery is perfect through the holidays getting the extra days off to recover. What are you drinking for your liquid diet? Are you all prepared for after surgery? I am still trying to find a way to make a protein drink i actually enjoy lol hopefully this is possible:) Would love to be a surgery buddy!

For post op my nutritionist told me i must have 60 g of protein a day. She said good protein drinks have 20g or over of protein and 200 calories or less per serving. She said not to worry about counting calories because she said noway am i going to be getting enough calories. She also said for the clear liquid phase to mix the gatorade g2 with a berry flavored protein powder she said it was delicious but i havent tried it yet.

Thanks I will be checking that site out! I have received a few samples from nutritionist nothing i really liked. I know what you mean i didnt want to buy a big tub and hate it. Went to gnc and they had no samples and wanted me to spend 60 dollars on one tub... um no thank you lol.

@@Shell88 I am in the process of trying to find Protein drinks that i like. Any suggestions? My nutritionist said for clear liquid part to drink gatorade lemon lime g2 mixed with Protein powder. I really dont have a specific pre op diet they just said to eat light starting 7 days before surgery. Seems most people have a specific diet. Do you? Just had my ekg and blood work today and have to go for a pre surgery seminar the 8th and guess im good to go:) @@Angelkeeper4 Congrats on getting the date!! Its so exciting:)

Sending positive thoughts your way! I know what your feeling, as soon as I got the date I was overcome with so many feelings and everyday I just can't stop thinking about everything. I also have same fear that something gonna happen and it's gonna get canceled. I go for ekg today so praying that is all ok.

Dec 10th for me:) Best wishes to all you december sleevers!!
