My surgery was yesterday! I had Bypass and stayed overnight. Happy to report zero issues. Knock on wood!!! I have to give myself a blood thinner shot 2 times a day for 2 week. And only liquid diet for 2 weeks, then reintroduce Jello, pudding etc. I’m still shocked how well it went.

It sounds like you are doing pretty well! I'm on day 3 and not a happy camper today. I feel weak and a bit faint. For a snack, I had some allowed yogurt and PBfit in it. Best yogurt I've had in my life! lol. I'm so so lucky I only have to do this for 10 days.

Day 5 out of 14 on the pre-op diet and I've settled into somewhat of a routine.
I do a Bariatric Fusion Cappuccino shake at Breakfast with a 20 oz Decaf tea that has 1/2 cup Fairlife milk and a scoop of collagen in it. Oikos triple zero yogurt for a mid-morning snack. Bariatric fusion chicken Soup shake for lunch. Jello for snack. 2 scoops Syntrax Nectar unflavored powder in one cup of Pacific Foods Tomato basil soup for dinner. Jello for dessert. Sometimes a Good Night Protein hot cocoa before bed if I'm hungry. I also take my chewable Celebrate One 45 Vitamin, 3 celebrate calcium chews, 2 scoops of Benefiber, Vitagut liquid probiotic, and a liquid Omega 3. Believe it or not, all of those supplements add 160 calories and 14g carb to my day! I also drink three 32oz waters with a sugar free flavor packet in each.
Total average daily macros: 850 calories, 105g protein, 11g fat, 50g carb
Weight loss so far: 7lbs

I love those ideas! Not sure I can do curbside. Where we live, it's not widely available, but I'll look into it! Takeout is for sure an option! I like that! Sadly we can't do a hotel. We have indoor and outdoor animals here at home, and my pet sitter is going to make 2 trips here on surgery day, but can't spend that night. It's ok, as of now they are just saying rain... should be fine! My husband isn't afraid of driving in bad weather, and we have an AWD. I'm the nervous one. I even think, "What if the surgeon can't get there?" But I think the weather will be good.

I just finished day 3 - so far, it was the day of the most temptation, but I made it through!

February 28th for me!

I start on the 6th as well. It's 1 small meal/day, plus Protein Shakes (and water). I'm struggling to find ones that don't kill me with the sweetness.

Twins! Mine is 2/20 as well!

Feb 14th for me. I decided to "love myself" by picking this date. I have my preop visit next week so I'll find out my pre-surgery diet then. I feel like I've been having a lot of "last meals". My greatest goal out of all this is not just the loss of weight but rather re-jump starting my approach to food. I guess it will begin next week.
