Honestly, I think you made the right decision. Everyone's case is different and you could very well do absolutely fine! I had quite a bit of nausea and pain for the first 18+ hours. You may do absolutely amazing with minimal, even no pain or nausea! But, why take that chance? I will be praying that things will open up very soon and you will be able to have an uneventful surgery!! Also praying for your daughter's recovery!!

I have Nectar unflavored protein powder that I made some protein jello shots with! It has no taste at all! The jello is a little grainy but not so bad I can't eat it. I taste the flavor of the jello actually. Oh! Sugarfree jello that is. My surgery was the 6th and just now starting to feel a bit better. I pray you feel better soon as well!!

Yes! We got this!! Monday is the beginning of our new lives!!

Best of luck to you as well! I have two more days of three shakes a day and then one day of clear liquids. Surgery is Monday!! WOOHOO!!!! I'm so excited to finally get this done!!!

On the advice of my dietician I am using Dimatize protein powder and it is honestly very good! I chose plain vanilla in case I didn't like it so I could add flavoring of some sort, but the vanilla tastes just like a vanilla shake! The next container I buy will be the cookies and cream flavor!

Today is day 1 of my 7 day pre-op full liquids. I know this isn’t going to be easy but it will so be worth it!! Surgery is one week away on July 6th!!

Had my final doctor visit yesterday and actually scheduled my surgery for July 6th!! I go to the hospital to preregister on the 2nd. Full liquids start this Sunday! I'm very excited!! Any surgery buddies??

I’ve completed all my requirements, submitted for insurance approval, and received my approval letter last week! Looks like I will be sleeved JULY 6th!! I go Tuesday, June 23rd to finalize everything with my doc and pre-register at the hospital. I’m so excited! I can’t believe it’s finally happening!!
