I feel exactly the same as you. It may change on the way to the hospital pre-dawn Monday the 19th but, I doubt it.

I know you'll be fine. Just keep your focus and understand how much easier it makes it for your surgeon to do their tasks. I'm on day 12 of the 2-week liquid diet and find that it is fine for me, although it amazes my wife. A steady pattern of Premier Protein, 8 oz of apple juice, sugar-free Gelatin, sugar-free popsicles, Crystal Light, Green Tea and Decaf coffee. I've found it very helpful to create an input form on Google Docs that automatically populates to a Google Spreadsheet to record all calorie and Protein information. It is simple to set-up and can be used to monitor your progress and intake from beginning throughout the months and years to come.

Congratulations and wishing you every success on your journey.

i'm scheduled for next Monday, September 19, 2016. Just got final clearance from cardiology after a two stage stress test and echo cardiogram. One tip for anyone using Premier Protein, you may want to add a dash of Benefiber (or generic equivalent) to avoid constipation. Something my Bariatric Nurse forgot to tell me when she recommended it for the pre-procedure 2 weeks. I brought up the problem when I called to confirm my understanding of what a "clear liquid" diet for the first week to 10 days following the procedure. I then mentioned the problem with constipation and she responded immediately by asking me if I was taking Premier Protein. After saying yes she recommended the added fiber via Benefiber. FYI, the best price I've found for Premier Protein was on Jet.com. I was able to purchase 18 count packs and after using 1 of my 3 new customer discounts and quantity discount for 5 packs and free shipping I spent an average of less than $21.00 per 18 and they arrived in 2 days. Best to all and may we enjoy a successful journey together!

Same date and started a 2 week liquid only menu today. I have the first part of a 2 part stress test in the morning and by Thursday of this week I should be cleared to go. If any of you scheduled for 9/19 or close to it are looking for a buddy, just shout out. Sent from my SM-P900 using the BariatricPal App
