I am just spending the day with family and doing some housework. Went to the grocery store last night and stocked up on stuff I would need when I get home. Tomorrow we are having a family day Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I go from being super excited to scared of what could go wrong. Everyone keeps telling me it will be fine. But my mom who I would say is my best friend doesn't really approve of my surgery so I can't talk to her cause she will just tell me if I'm scared not to have the surgery. It's at night when I get more scared of the surgery and complications when I am putting my son to bed. All I keep thinking is I have to be here for him. If something goes wrong will he even remember me. He just turned 2. He is the main reason I want the surgery so I can get healthy so hopefully I can be around longer for him.

I am having surgery Monday also and have a 2 year old boy to take care of who well exceeds the weight limit I am allowed lifting. So hopefully things go smoothly after surgery. He has been pretty clingy the past couple of weeks only wanting me so this will be interesting. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am on a 14 day pre op diet and have lost 13 pounds so far from it. I have 6 days left. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I know it sucks but just follow your diet. I am also on my pre op diet just finished my 4th day. I am allowed 4 Protein shakes, a lean cuisine meal under 300 calories. I am also allowed to snack on non starchy veggies. It does eventually start to get better. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Has anyone used carnation Breakfast high Protein? I am using Premier Protein but was wondering if the carnation breakfast would be OK to switch it up with sometimes. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That is a good way to look at it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I also started my pre op diet today. I go for my pre op testing on Thursday. I am hoping these 2 weeks fly by. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My seminar was last year. I have been working towards this for 14 months. I had to have a six month diet and then paper work was lost and other test needed done and they took forever to get scheduled. I am just glad I am at this point and have my surgery scheduled Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm may 16th too!! I am from Ohio and will be having my surgery done at Osu. I start my liver shrink diet Monday. I am allowed 4 protien shakes, a lean cuisine meal, a small piece of fruit or a small salad with no dressing. This should be interesting Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My nut listed off a few suggestions but said I could you any Protein shake really. They said a lot of people use the Premier Protein but I can't find the powder at the store Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What kind of Protein shakes is everyone using? I start my liver shrink diet Monday so I am looking for ones to try Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It took me almost 3 weeks to get approved Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I think it just depends on your surgeon. I have to be on a liver shrink diet for 2 weeks. But I have an aunt who never had to do the liver shrink diet. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
