I'm scared too. I am on my pre op diet and have gained 1/2lb. I know that seems silly, but I have been following it to a T. Ugh!!!

@@Cupcake, no, I was told my ins carrier would only remove skin if there was infection

Thank you for explaining, never heard of it and definitely do not want to experience it.

@blondbomb45...I have never been so ready for anything as much as I am for this. I started my pre-op liquid diet Monday, I have some cravings but am sticking to it. Its now only 9 days away, yayyy!!!!

I'm on day 5 of my 14 day pre op liquid diet and I'm craving wings in the worst way, ugh!!!

who is your ins carrier?

I wish my insurance company offered that. Good luck, fingers crossed.

what are foaming episodes?

I know the temptation is hard but you should try and save one of ur shakes and eat with him. It's nice that you have a supportive husband.

I would like to know what it is please.

I was wondering that myself.

hang in there, mine is for two weeks, im on day 4 and I have lost 10.5lbs, so I'm not complaining, lol.

Today is day 3 of my 14 day pre op diet. I have only lost 6lbs, is that normal, shouldnt I be losing more?

I'm currently at 255 and would like to be 220 by memorial day.

My surgery isn't til 4/20, can I still opt in?

My surgeon requires a 14 day pre op liquid diet, 5 to 6 protein shakes a day and I can fill in with water, or broth

Another good protein shake is special k milk chocolate. Its not that sweet and tastes like chocolate milk.

best of luck!!!

oh OK, thank you for the advice

may I ask why you brought ChapStick?

I know every doctor is different, but I have been drinking special k milk chocolate protein shakes. They are actually good.

OK, silly question, but why is everyone packing ChapStick?

@@RammerJammer, thank you! So far so good, down 2 of my 5 protein shakes, feeling good. Full of energy. Good luck to you as well, both during pre op and during your surgery ☺

Same here, didn't think I would like it, but is wasn't bad. Best of luck!!

I just took my before pictures. Start my liquid diet tomorrow. I knew I was big but not that big. Can't wait to do this!!!
