November 8th for me. My surgeon only requires a low carb diet that I started last Wednesday. Now that the day is getting closer, I am so incredibly nervous and overwhelmed. I know I want to do this, just so terrified of the unknown. I hope this is normal!

I'm scheduled for November 28th!

Tomorrow’s the day...

Nov 21st (UK) two weeks to go - I’m actually really nervous now.

I just had mine Nov 1st, just 6 days post op!!! Recovering ☺

Awww thank you I will give them a try.

Thank you so much definitely thinking about my liver.... I don’t want any complications anything to make it easier for the surgeon! You are awesome and you are going to do awesome!! Can’t wait to hear you on the other side!! Yay [emoji3]

Ok but I don’t know if I can add any milk because I’m doing the clear liquid and Protein diet... I’m going to ask on Wednesday when I go to sign for surgery!!! Yes thank you so much one day at a time! [emoji3]

Hey guys can I say struggles...... lol I started my preop diet today. I thought I could’ve done 3 weeks but of course I failed but I’m not this time around. I’m just starting my first drink of the day Protein Isopure and I don’t like it and it won’t go down.... how am I going I do this???? I’m going to costco to get Premier Protein shakes because everyone well most people seem to love those so hopefully I will too. Surgery 11/20 I don’t care how I make it but I’m going to make it! Good luck to all sleevers who are having surgery this week! I’ll be praying for everything to go great for you guys!!

@Maryvsg87 - I don't have too much advice because I don't start till next week but have you considered nectar for variety? I've tried a few from the variety pack (https://www.google.com/search?q=nectar+protein+sample+pack&oq=nectar+protien+&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l5.4783j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) and they are really good. Premier are great too.
Your positive attitude is awesome! Good luck to you today

I can’t do the shakes at all. It isn’t just the taste, but they make me queazy. My doctor approve for me to do these instead - see GENEPRO flavorless protein and Bariatric Choice Liquid Protein (I like the berry flavor). Amazon delivers them fast if you are a prime member
Or you can pay a little extra for delivery.

The Premier Protein shakes are good. I am on my last day of them then Clear Liquids all day tomorrow and surgery Wednesday the 8th. The hardest part is the first 2-3 days after that it get easier. At the moment i have no urge for regular food.

Good luck to all of you I still don't have a date yet.

I find the shakes to be too thick for my pallet so I added about 4 ounces of unsweetened original or vanilla almond milk to mine too thin it up and make it easier to get down.

You can do this! I know it seems difficult. But just get through today. Keep hydrated. Drink your Water. Each day is a new day. So just keep doing one day at a time.

Good luck!

You can do this! It's truly the definition of mind over matter. When I was just a few days into my liquid only diet, I thought about the reason we have to do it. My Dr. wants my liver as small as possible so it's easier to get to the stomach. I definitely want to make his life easier when he's operating on me! This thought process really helped me through. I'm 11 days in and I can say it gets easier! Just take it one day at a time oh and get the caramel Premier Protein Shakes - they're heaven!
