Wishing you well!! Can't wait to hear all about it!!

May 28 here in Illinois. Start my pro op on May 14 (my pre op appt is the same day) Now that we're into May its starting to hit me....

Tomorrow is the big day for me!!! I can't wait!

Good luck!! I hope that everything goes well!

Going for my final appt today before surgery Tuesday It's getting close.

May 14th for me. Good luck to all!

Tomorrow is my big day!

I hope they are able to get something for you that is better! I know it stinks, just keep pushing through. Dot worry about being a downer (read some of my posts Lol), we are here to support you. I emailed my dietician and told her that all of the food tasted like dog food or chalk Lol. I really hope you can get something that is tolerable. Good luck! You can do it!!

Thanks so much I appreciate the support - this is tough - and I feel a little wimpy that I almost caved on the first day. Today I am feeling a bit better - certainly inspired by the fact that I decided to step on the scale and I am down 3.5lbs... what is this pre-op diet - magic or something? LOL

I was given an alternative to the shakes - I am still checking it out to see if available. Chalk mixed with sour milk and instant cake mix is the flavor description that came to me, haha I did enjoy some nice veggies though.

Looking forward to seeing how those who have their surgery today are doing!

Omg...that is very close to the description for the vanilla shake. Lmao...good one!

Ok so I was doing great on day 1 and 2 and now im only on day 3 of the pre op diet And its getting rough. I know it's all going to be worth it jn the end.

At my job we have a lot of down time and in the back room everybody pretty much eats non stop! It's tough being around everyone eating when I'm sitting there starving! I just had to come outside and sit alone for minute so I wouldn't go crazy!

I'm so glad I have somewhere I can share my feelings and know you all understand

There hasn't been a day at work that there hasn't been food out!! Someone bought Skor cookies in today and I wanted to stab them!!

I am May 16 and I am dreadful nervous. I am going to have mine in Phoenix..

Me too. May 16 in Tempe.

My surgery is May 6th, and I have lost 16 pounds on this pre-op diet. That is very encouraging and gives me hope for the future!

Am I the only person in this forum who can't handle doing my "social" things?? I thought about going bowling with some friends instead of eating out, but when I think of bowling, I think of french fries. Then I thought maybe my husband and I could go to the movies this weekend..do a date night without the dinner. BUT, I can't go to the movies and not eat popcorn, or ANYTHING.

BLAH, I am 9 days on this preop diet, and getting antsy for my social life, but not ready yet to face it.
