I am new to this site need some buddies to go through this with ! Surgery set for may 2nd anyone else scheduled in may???

The May bloomers are popping up all over the place. Keep on popping and blooming!

Ok am I the only one that has a dr. that is requesting a liquid diet for two weeks before surgery?

No I start my pre op diet on monday

I start mine tomorrow

Hello!!! So glad I found this forum! My surgery date is on may 11 and I'm so excited and ready!!! Is anyone following the pre-op diet? I'm wondering if we have to drink 3 packs a day for sure because I usually am full with 2 a day?! Weird but any thoughts?

I try to drink 3 a day but sometimes like you i'm full with just the two a day. But I'm also drinking crystal light thru out the day and I have a couple cups of broth and a 1/2 c. of sugar free Jello a day also.

No I start my pre op diet on monday

Great to hear it! I was starting to think my dr. was doing something wrong. Thanks ladies!

Mine is May 1st!!!!

I am a May bander as well.... May 18th is my day! So excited to meet others and have the group support. So it appears the the unjury is THE powder to get? I don't start my liquid diet till the 4th of May (coming up soon). Good luck everyone looking forward to hearing how it goes for everyone.

Hi everyone! It's nice that we are all starting this journey together and can support each other.

I am getting banded on May 8th. Starting liquids on Saturday.

Hi everyone.

Has anyone tried the injury drinks yet? I am curious to see what everyone thinks of them.

I am going to use the Isopure Rtd protein drinks. I find the other drinks to be chalky.

I also have pcos. Weight loss before now had been hard. In 3 months I lost 17 lbs preop. I am confident that the new tool will work perfectly.

Thanks

Hello, I am scheduled for May16th 2012 and I will start my liquid diet May6th. I am very nervous about the liquid diet because I have tried to stop smoking several times and failed. I soo want this to the point that I haven't let any one deter me regardless of all the terrible things they keep telling me.

I jus got my unjury mix today...I jus ordered the individual packs to try them out..I've heard that they are pretty good.

I ordered plain to mix with applesauce and puddings. I also ordered the chicken soup. It smells good.

Nice to see you here Susan.

I wish that I could have that big meal before my surgery but I have decided that I cant. I have come this far..If I did I would just over eat,and feel guilty and rotten all day long. Right now I am in a good frame of mind with the surgery coming up and I dont want to spoil that. I had too many years of those Last meals..lol

Ive never heard of such a limited amount of time for the liquid diet! wow..lucky you again...hahah

Keep us posted here and let us know how it all goes. IM super excited and scared all at the same time but I am really looking forward to this.

Go Maysters!!

I'm not having a last meal either, have come too far in the pre op diet. And like you have had years of last meals. I had to look at this like it is not my last meal, like m never going to eat again. Fr me that is what kept me failing. Feeling like I was deprived. Good luck to you!

I'm hearing a lot about the unjury shakes so I ordered plain and chicken. Did not try the chocolate. I have been drinking gnc total lean shakes and I think they are good, plus they are not filled with sugar. They are low in carbs, sugar, fat, and have 25 grams of protien. The chocolate lean muscle meal is also good in chocolate, really tastes like a chocolate milkshake. It has the same nutritional value. The only thing I don't like about the unjury chicken soup is that it is high in sodium. It will be fine for the liquid phase, but I won't order again. I have high blood pressure. Good luck everyone

awsome band buddy!

haha I've really just learned how to perfect hiding my belly, so far it only works in pictures. That and I wear heels for full body photos, I hold a lot of weight in my thighs, more than I'd like to admit really.

Well you have a beautiful face! I think I carry all my weight in my neck.

Seriously though, I carry my weight all over - not just one particular spot. I guess that's probably a good thing.
