I think if you use alittle warm Water first with the powder it gets blended better. Then add some ice, cold water I'm not allowed the fruit in it yet myself. I start my pre-op diet on the 5th, have a ton of appointments on the 6th, surgery on the 19th. I'm getting more nervous as it gets closer. I joined a closed fb group called - Sept going down. For anyone having WLS in Sept. Check into it. Sent from my SM-N915V using the BariatricPal App

I found it too but can't get on it. It's a closed group. Not many people on it. Sent from my SM-N915V using the BariatricPal App

I'm September 19th as well. I live in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Someone did start a fb group for September surgeries already but I didn't write the link down. My liquid diet starts on the 5th. Sent from my SM-N915V using the BariatricPal App

I have the jitters also. My surgery is the 19th. It's not something to take lightly. It's major surgery. But I guess the risks of being overweight at this point are higher than the risks of surgery. Also it's really not a good idea to go out and eat everything you think you'll be missing out on after. I know it's tempting though. Sent from my SM-N915V using the BariatricPal App

I have surgery on the 19th of September. I was told that for the first 3 - 4 weeks after surgery to mostly concentrate on getting my Protein in (shakes) and staying hydrated. Can have sugar free Jello, pudding, sugar-free frozen Popsicles, applesauce. Sent from my SM-N915V using the BariatricPal App

Hello. My surgery is September 19th. Also gastric bypass. I start my pre-op diet on the 5th. My surgeon allows for 2 Protein shakes daily, 1 lean cuisine or similar food, 2 Snacks per day (string cheese, Greek yogurt). Sent from my SM-N915V using the BariatricPal App

I'm September 19th! Gastric bypass. I have a 2 wks liquid diet starting on September 5th. Sent from my SM-N915V using the BariatricPal App

I forgot to add that I was given my date finally! September 19th. On September 5th I'll start my 2 wks liver shrinking diet! Sent from my SM-N915V using the BariatricPal App

I have 13 grandchildren and I also want to be in better shape physically to be able to enjoy my time with them. Our surgeries will be pretty close together! Sent from my SM-N915V using the BariatricPal App

I start my 2 wks pre surgery diet Sept 5th. I've cut out all sweets (my big downfall has always been my sweet tooth!) and am down to very little caffeine already. I would normally have alot of coffee with sugar & cream in the mornings. Now I have a cup with splenda & cream and then a cup black. Also was a huge diet pepsi drinker and am trying to just drink Water. At the most I'm having 1 can of soda a day now. Ik the 2 wks thing will be difficult but I'll stick to it. I saw my surgeon yesterday and he patiently answered all my questions. He seems very nice. My surgery is Sept 19th. I have been working on this all summer and am both scared and excited.

Same day as me! I'm having gastric bypass surgery that day. Sent from my SM-N915V using the BariatricPal App

I haven't had my surgery yet (Sept 19th) but I was told not to worry about eatting for 3-4 wks after surgery. Just stay hydrated with Water and drink the Protein shakes. Sent from my SM-N915V using the BariatricPal App

Aren't you on a 2-wk pre-surgery diet? You seem to be drinking way too much Protein and you said you were going to add more fruits & vegetables? I'm going to be starting my 2 wks liver shrinking diet soon and was told 2 shakes per day with 1 lean cuisine for supper. Just curious? Sent from my SM-N915V using the BariatricPal App
