Sooooo, I start my pre op diet today. I have mixed feelings about it. I am excited because my surgery is in 3 days. Im nervous because my surgery is in 3 days. Worried that I will be tired and weak from only having Clear liquids and 1 Protein shake a day, at least tomorrow is my last day of work. I fly out Tues to head to Mexico and its all starting to become a reality! I dare say that I feel a little bit scared. I have thought of backing out a few times, but now I feel confident in my decision, but I am very nervous. Right now Im hungry!!!! . Going to do some gardening today, its beautiful out and Im trying to stay distracted...... and close to the toilet as I have to take a laxative today as well. Sounds like its going to be a fun day!!! lol. So glad I have this board for support!!! Thanks for listening.

I'm starting mine today as well...my actual start pre-op diet start date is May 28th, but I've gained 20 pounds since Feb (I have a very stressful job)....I need to get it off...

I'm supposed to start tomorrow but I'm starting it today. I had already dropped 15 but I'm up 3 lbs. it's freaking hard to keep it off. But hopefully I can lose the three and 5 more lol HOPEFULLY. JUNE 4th is surgery. Good luck ladies

Good luck to all of you! I think the pre-op liquid diet is the hardest part of this journey. You just have to keep your eye on the prize and know that this will be so worth it once the weight starts coming off and your health improves!

I've gained 20 pounds

unfortunately I went on a food Funeral for awhile before surgery, doctor didn't require pre-op diet. I also gained about 20 lbs.

if i had to do it over again, i would have made the wiser decision not to eat like the world would end tomorrow. Oh well, live and learn.

lol, the sad thing is that I didn't go on a "food funeral"....I was stressed and I just wasn't thinking when I eating, I ate what I wanted when I wanted....and the crap caught up with me
