Hi Muneketa- Not sure if you still visit this site as your post was from last year. I also live in Temecula and was wondering if you ever found a good plastic surgeon and if you ended up having plastic surgery. I am pre-op.. my surgery is next Tuesday but would like to know how you are doing and if you found a good plastic surgeon. Lord knows i will need it eventually! Thank you!

Hi Adriane- I am on day 8 of my pre-op diet. My surgery is next Tuesday Nov 18th. I have been drinking the Pure Protein pre-made shakes. My favorite is the vanilla and strawberry. The chocolate is a little too sweet. I tried the primier and didn't care for them so much. I have packets of the unjury and Sytrax nectar that i ordered to try, but still haven't tried them. For work i like the idea of throwing a few of the cans of pure protein in a bag and heading out the door. Wishing you luck! Do you know when your surgery is scheduled for yet?

Hi There.. i am going through the same struggles are you. I am scheduled for surgery on Nov 18th. While i am drinking all these Protein shakes and dreading them, i'm thinking to myself "geez if i can do this then why can't i lose on my own?" The truth is i have tried before and i know i can't thats why i need to push through and have the surgery. I'm just trying to keep a positive mindset and take it day by day. My devotional today was really good and hopefully it encourages you too: I can do all things through christ who strengthens me. - Phillipians 4:13 Hang in there.. we can do this! :-)

I'm having surgery on Nov. 18th. I keep thinking.."oh bummer, i wont be able to eat on Thanksgiving" and then i remind myself is the food worth me being unhealthy another day longer? I'm on my 2nd day of the pre-op liquid diet and have the rest of this week and next week to go. Praying for strength to do this! Yikes.. its getting real! Best of luck to you Cryssyd and others having surgery this month!

Nov. 18th here too! Just started my pre-op diet today.

Hi There. i am pre-op.. just started my liquid pre-op diet today. My sleeve surgery is on Nov. 18th! Congrats on your surgery. I am also in the Inland Empire. I live in Temecula How are you doing post op?

Thank you for that bit of inspiration Jack Hollywood. I just started my pre-op liquid diet today and am having my sleeve surgery on 11/18. I really needed that. I hope to have as much success as you have. If only i can survive this liquid diet! :-)

Thank you for posting this. I am scheduled for surgery 11/18 and this really helped me to see that its all worth it and that you realize everything works out after you get thru all the hard stuff.. liquid protein diets! LOL. I start tomorrow with that .. wish me luck. I'm scared!

Thanks WL Warrior. I was at the vitamin store yesterday and they had the ISOPURE drinks in the cooler. They look like gatorade or something. How could that possibly fill you up? Are you talking about the Isopure protein mixes like chocoate and all that? Thanks for the input.

I was also told to use bariatric advantage but i have not ordered any. I was just going to use unjury, syntrax or isopure. Does anyone know if this is ok for pre op? i thought they all were about the same. Guess i should call the nutritionist too.

Hi Kelsey! My surgery is the same day as yours.. Nov 18th and i am stressing about the liquid diet the same as you are! I am supposed to start it next Tuesday. All i am allowed are Protein shakes and one Protein Bar a day. I've never done liquids for more than a day (unless i had the flu!). I'm so afraid i won't be able to stick to it! Since we are having surgery the same day, hopefully we can be a support for each other. let me know how you do over the weekend with the pre op diet. :-)

My surgery is NOV. 18th at UCI (irvine, Calif) Looking forward to hearing about each of your successes post surgery. I start full protein shake diet next Tuesday for two weeks... i'm scared that i will fail..anyone else with me on this? I've never done a full liquid diet unless i had the flu! LOL.
