I started my pre-op diet today, which consists of light protein shakes, 2 cups of vegetables, 2 tbsp. fat free dressing, sugar free jello, gum, and popsicles, low sodium broth, and coffee or tea with skim milk and Splenda. I feel like this is a lot more strict than others' diets. I've heard of many being able to eat lean meats and fish and fruit. Any idea why this is?

I start my liquid diet Friday and I'm so nervous I'm going to be miserable! Any good tips to get me through it?

Thank you both! I'm more excited now than nervous, and I will stop watching youtube (for my sanity!).

Hi everyone! I'm new here but not new to being obese. I've been overweight since I was a child and I am excited, and a little nervous, to begin this new chapter of my life. My surgery date is 1/22 and my pre-op diet starts 1/8. I've freaked myself out a little after watching too many YouTube videos but I'm still sure I want to do this. Are there any other January banders out there?
