my surgery is Monday also. I'm starting to freak out.

I was dealing with some horrible things literally the night before my psych eval (and several months worth before then). I just didn't share. And was approved. The psych eval can and will cause a denial if it is determined you are unable to go through the process.

Let me tell you, I was so dismayed at the thought of these shakes. I'm on day five of my pre-op diet and I can hands down give a seal of approval to bariatric advantage high protein meal replacement shake in vanilla AND in cookies and cream. I make mine with a lot of ice water and *drum roll* cocoa powder. Omg, the stuff actually tastes good. The cocoa powder is approved by my nutritionist, just make sure you get cocoa powder not nestles hot cocoa mix or Ovaltine or something like that. Play around with it and you too will be a believer! 9 more days!!! (Oh and these are the meal replacement ones, there are all different types of course)

Great news!!

Lol. Yes, that was my fear also. Hopefully the scale will have moved in the other direction and you will be clear. ????

Hi Princess, I'm on my preop and gained weight. But the few days before I had all type of last meal crap. That I didn't even really want. But my psyche almost convinced me I needed. Smh. But anyway the morning of day three of preop I had gained 3lbs. But I was actually following the preop diet it was just the crap had finally metabolized itself into weight gain. Any who I'm on day five now and I've lost those three pounds I gained in two days and think it will continue through next week. Could this be what happened to you?

Ooh, good question. Haven't asked my dr. that one. Will ask on next visit, waiting for answers here as well.

My nut doesn't take calories into account. (I thought 'That is crazy!') Only protein, carbs and fat. I read that you eat fruit everyday? How much fruit? In my our class we learned that's a big source of carbs that will kick you out of ketosis or fat burning. We were told to eat berries if we really wanted fruit. Other foods to steer away from were root veggies like potato and carrots, corn is a no no, as is onion. Its all about the makeup of the food. I'd love to share the whole list with you if interested.

Hi Curvy. I was just about to write this exact post. I start my pre op diet on Monday also. I have chugged down almost an entire two liter Pepsi today. It has to be my nerves!
