Well today is day 6 of the liquid diet and I have to say after the first couple of days it hasn't been that bad. My pre op diet was liquid only. I could have strained Cream of whatever soup. I didn't eat one of the SF popsicles until about day 4...WOW! Those are a game changer. I love those things! I have not had any kind of popsicle in over 30 years or more. On Monday I am going to drink water and eat popsicles and Jello, I am over the broth. I am also having the lap band taken out that has been in there for 15 years or so and thankful to get rid of that thing. Anyway less than 48 hours until surgery. I have stocked up on everything I can think of. I got some dry mouth spary as I saw on YouTube a lady that said it was a life saver. Ready to roll and hopefully not be fat much longer. Thanks

Love the name! Wow 2 weeks pre op diet... that stinks! Oh well t least you will lose some weight. Here are a couple of things that helped me. Premier Protein(30 G) shake, add a scoop of unflavored whey protein (18G) and a scoop of multi collagen protein (9 G) a half tub of Triple Zero yogart (8G) some crushed ice and blend. You have a 65 gram protein shake right there that is dang tasty! Also the SF popsicles re awesome. I will eat 3 or 4 night. I love them. I probably have not eaten a popsicle in 30 years...they really do the trick! Good luck!

I am ready to move on to the next phase of mu life beginning Tuesday morning! Thanks for the kind words!

Good luck! Same date and time for me as well!

Rachie , I will be thinking of you on Monday and we will talk again in the near future. All the best to you!

Thanks for sharing that info, not sure I have herd that. I will drink it over the course of the day and get my protein in from this drink. Yes give the shake a try. It is really tasty to me.

Mine is Tuesday so we are going to have a similar path. I look forward to hearing from you across the Pond and wish you all the best! You will be fine, these doctors have got this and you do too!

I have read so many different things about pre op diets. Mine was 7 days liquid with the last day being clear liquid. I am ok with it but seems a bit more than others have done and again less than some others. As long as you clean your belly out for the surgery . I get it and will follow my surgeons guidelines but I was just wondering why the big variances from doc to doc.

I have been on liquid for 5 days Sunday will be 6 , Monday clear liquid and Tuesday morning is surgery day!

Yes we are! I think Mondy I am just going to drink water and eat popsicles! I wont feel like eating for a while so I hope to make a jump here. Good luck and stay in touch!

I hope all goes well for you! Good luck and Keep us posted!

My bad...Congratulations on losing 93# on your journey so far.

A pound a day is pretty dog gone good El Paso Gal!

I split the chocolate and Vanilla because I like a light chocolate. I m a little strange about that I guess. Honestly with everything in it I may try all chocolate. Anyway this is an easy way to get your protein in. I understand that after surgery I will not be able to drink this like I can now right away but if you put in a Yeti it stays cold for a long time. My surgery is Tuesday and I am ready to go!

I believe I will be down 20-25 pounds by surgery date. I would love to be able to lose that much in that time frame. My surgery is on 2/23. Thanks for sharing!

If you can lose 2# week that is a win everyday of the week!

I have enjoyed reading these amazing stories. It is so encouraging... Thank you!

Almost 100 pounds in 6 months. Thanks for the encouraging story!

Holy Smokes! You are killing it! I hope to be able to tell story like this in a few months. Thanks for sharing.

Wow...Over 6 pounds a week. I hope to be as successful as you have been. Looking forward to getting this show started next week. Thanks for sharing!

So awesome! I hope I will be able to get off my BP meds soon. Thanks for sharing!

I think I will be down around 20 pounds by the time I have surgery from the time that it got rescheduled. The first couple of days on the liquid diet was really difficult. Now after 4 days I have a good handle on this and ready to go next week and start this journey!

5 pounds a week is awesome! If I could average that I could have a great Summer this year. Thanks for sharing!

It really is inspirational! I am looking forward to this more than ever. Surgery coming up on 2/23.

You look amazing! Congratulations on your success!
