We could never leave you out! Good Luck! I think you are in between the two of us.

Started the liquid today, wanted to throw up. I am not liking the shakes at all. worse part this is all I am on and a cup of veggies. Gotta pull through! 2 weeks to go!

Can you try other shakes? I am on Unjury and LOVE them. Maybe a better tasting shake would help. JMHO...

Anyone using ultramet shakes? They are by champion nutrition. I start them on the 10th. I hope they don't taste too horrific! LOL

Atkins shakes are delicious!

Optifast is the ones my doctor advised me to take. Yesterday, day 2, was the worse. I had such a migraine. Slept for 12 hours. Hope this won't be the norm for the next couple of weeks. I diluted the shakes a bit more as they were gritty and texture not so good. They are going down a bit better, but still hungry. (which i am sure is normal for all). Just keeping at it, worth it in the end.

Hi all, day 5 of 10 day preop diet. Im having as hard a time as anyone else, but Im doing my absolute best to stick to everything. Go into the hospital on Monday, Surgery will be on thursday. (I have a very rare blood disorder and must get four days worth of medication). Just gotta get through the next two days then im on the downswing!!!!!

How are you feeling?

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm two days post op now and feeling good. My surgery was Thursday at 11:30 I left the hospital about 5. Yesterday I slept most if the day just taking in water as I felt nauseous. After getting medicine for nausea I feel so much better today. I have gotten in an Optifast and some chicken broth. I have pain when getting from sitting other than that the pain is not bad at a all. I have not taken pain meds since last night. So just wanted to update so new people heading in to surgery will know its not bad at all. The way I feel now I feel I'll be fine to go work on Monday;)

Good luck banders hope your surgery goes well!
