Ok, so far it's not been too bad. The protein shake I got is great---I got the unflavored kind so I can make it taste like whatever I want it to. I mixed it with skim milk and a 1/2 tsp of sugar free waffle syrup-------it tastes just like the milk left after you've had a bowl of cereal! Who doesn't love that?? :confused: I'm sure day 2 and 3 are likely to not be as 'pain free' as day 1. However---I'm ready for it so bring it on!! <<chuckle>> It's good incentive to get a hobby or something so I don't just think about food all day I guess...LOL Wish me luck, folks. I know I can do this! Size 10 jeans, here I come!!!!!!! Whoo hoo!!! :thumbup:

Jamie! We are on the same schedule. July 21st at 7:30 for me. Lucky me, I get a high protein/low carb diet. Started 7/1. So far, lost 7 pounds. Sounds weird, I have been eating meat and cheese and spinach all week. I feel like a salt lick.

Best wishes to you!

Ive been through the first week of my low carb high protein diet. Im drinking the isopure and i can only eat yogurt, sf pudding and jello and unsweetened applesauce. My surgery date is July 16. its tough this first week has been very challenging for me, but i just keep thinking of how this will benefit me in the end and it keeps me motivated. good luck with everything!

Jamie, My surgery is scheduled for the same day as yours! I just started my pre-op diet today, and it was pretty easy, but I know that its going to get harder. I am really looking forward to losing weight though, so I will do all I can to make sure it happens! Good Luck!

Hey guys how are the liquids coming? I'm going to have to find low fat/calorie, gluten free drinks for the first few weeks. This is going to be so hard because of my allergic reaction to gluten. I hope these few weeks go by fast for you guys.
