  • I am going to buy some new jammies, sometimes if you "look good". You'll "feel" good. Perhaps a new lip balm too just to make it special for my new chapter in my life.

Hi Laura,

Wow, April 1 is coming up fast! Are you on preop diet? Mine is April 4. I feel all I do is sit on the computer and read to prepare for everything because my nerves are starting to kick in a little bit, but in a good way ;) .

Congrats on your upcoming surgery!!

I start my pre-op diet on Sunday. 4 shakes per day and clear liquid for one week. I just bought a kitchen ninja pulse for my smoothies. it makes them go down easier. I also went to pier 1 and got some cute tasting dishes. they are just the right portion.

Does the ninja really work well? - we look at it every time we go into the store. lol But we didn't know anyone who had one. I want to get some cute tasting dishes too. I didn't even think about checking pier 1. And I was thinking about getting the kids set of spoons and forks. I heard that having smaller utensils makes it easier to get used to taking smaller bites.

Hi I'm Melissa and my surgery is scheduled for April 10th. So excited!! I signed my consent for the surgery and I got my liquid Percocet already lol. Im having mine done at Yale in New Haven, CT. I don't start my diet till about a week before surgery.

I got a Ninja too for myself. Tried it out by making the kids slushies and it turned great. Did you find a good Protein Drink that you liked?

Hello!! I am scheduled for April 11. I started my preop diet (60 gm of protein via shakes and clear liquids only) yesterday. I have had all of my preop visits and blood work. I meet with anesthesologist on April 10. I think my nerves have kicked in, too. This is becoming REAL ... very quickly :)

Hi Waistnaway,

I'm glad you made it to the group :D . I know exactly how you feel. There are a lot of us going through the same things as the same time, which makes it really nice for the added support. So you are on liquids for 2 weeks? I am on a low-fat Atkins diet. I started on Wednesday. I feel better already.

I'm glad I made it, too :) I discovered that when I try to view the group from my IPad It tells me that I have to have a password but on the PC.. it doesn't. Must be something with the app.

Yes, I am on liquids only. I just got creative and added some fruity flavored unjury Protein packets to Jello. Will let you know how that experiment turns out. I have never been a milk drinker or an ice cream eater so it is difficult to drink the milk type Protein Drinks. I have no problem getting my 64oz of other fluids in during the day. I easily drink more than that in a day. At least dehydration won't be an issue for me.

Hi I am Kim. I am going to be sleeved on April 30th here in Dallas Texas by Dr.Kim. I am hoping they up the date a week or two after my follow up with the doctor next week. I am ready to join the loser bench.

I ordered the unjury sample pack. I have tried the chocolate in my coffee and liked it. I also tried the chicken Soup, I liked it, but not sure how much. I have to try the 2nd pack to be sure. Please keep me posted on the unflavored. I was so addicted to diet green tea that I really never drink Water, but now since I'm doing my preop diet, I never really realized how much I missed it. Getting all my water in and feel great!!
