How exciting! Mine is on 12/28. We’re gonna rock this!

3 days for me too! So nervous!

Try Muscle Milk powder, they have numerous flavor and two scoops equals to 32g of Protein. I was on Isopure but the taste was horrible.

I’m only on day 2 and I cheated on day one. I feel like my head is going to explode and I may gnaw someone’s arm off.

I just got my surgery date - it is December 27. Would love to have some December support buddies to get through this together and help eachother.

I'm really excited to share that I got approved! Yay!
I'm also on day 4 of my pre-op diet (protein shakes and raw vegetables). It's been pretty rough. I feel like my emotions are literally all over the place-which scares me.
How is everyone else handling any emotional struggles around the prep?

This is my first time on here, how do we stay connected and find this conversation?

Two for me. Once I got used to the Protein Shakes, I have to start on clear liquids! Ugh! I’m dying down here. I picked up a Isopure clear Protein Drink at GNC. It’s so gross, but it has Protein. Maybe I’ll get another one. My tummy is growling. 😫 I’m at my mom’s house, so she can take care of me, too!

3 days away here! My liquid diet it's brutal too. Slowly but surely getting my house put together. Thank God, my mom is coming to take care of me.

I’m two days away, too! Clear liquid diet for me! No fun!

I just tell people it is for health reasons... didn’t know I was so unhealthy till they started poking around... my snoring was sleep apnea, my blood sugars were rising and I have Barrett’s Esophagus from reflux I didn’t realize that I had. .... as I tick off the problems that a 65 lb loss has fixed, folks tend to understand a lot better, although they still say that I didn’t look heavy enough! At 46, I want to live my life healthy and happy!

I go in tomorrow morning super early. Of course I can't sleep tonight. So nervous. Good luck to everyone!

Ok soooo....my big day is tomorrow. I've been on a week liquid diet and taking my supplements BUT....I cheated. Drinking 5 shakes a day wasn't the hardest part. The shakes kept my head from hurting and me feeling faint from not eating. One thing I learned was I won't die from not stuffing my face. I had 1 taco on day 3 & 2 chicken wraps on day 5. Has anyone been denied surgery for not following the liquid diet?

I only had to do 2 days before so maybe it will be okay.. I think they know life happens and we do the best we can.. good luck!!

I'm on day 6 of my liquid diet. I survived my office holiday party but cheated on the 3rd and 5th day. I ate a taco supreme from taco bell and then 2 chicken wraps from McDonald's. I had convinced myself the liquid diet was hard but it really wasn't. I just keep thinking about afterwards. And to be honest, I didn't get the comfort from the taco or wraps. They actually tasted funny. The liquid diet is uncomfortable and scary but you can do it.

I teach 4th grade, and there’s always food around. chips, candy, you name it. And I LOVE food. If I can stick to the pre-op liquid diet, anybody can. I’d punch somebody for a taco today, but I know one day, I’ll get to have another delicious taco! Looking forward to it!

Yep, they're all different. Would be really interesting to know who makes this crap up, and why they so often disagree.

I am right there with you completely , exact same story minus the chip.

Anyone else want to dropkick their spouse this week? Between the liquid diet and my period, I am one big pile of cranky. My husband said the wrong thing to me tonight, and first I nearly killed him, but then I burst out crying. Ugh. I’m a mess. And I ate a couple of tortilla chips tonight. 🙁

What kind of broth? I use this stuff called "Better than Bullion" that's pretty tasty. I put a lot of Water in it, too, so it's not too salty.
