I'm having surgery on 26th. I'm 44 and 235

Woohoo. We need to keep up with each other! Anyone starving yet!?! I'm mentally hungry and belly hungry some times! What does a clear liquid diet consist of?

My preop doesn't consist of clears so not sure... broth and what else I have no clue.

Surgery on 9/27. 37y/o 5'6, 266 pre op. goal 170-175. Been on pre op liquid diet since Wed ... 4 more days!!!

Clear liquids is clear protein drink (Isopure is the only one I know of besides unflavored protein added to water). SF jello, SF Popsicles, and broth. And of course water. I think you can still use Crystal light (or whatever brand you use).

I am on the 28th! Feeling a little left out of the september group being that it is the very end of the month! I am 41, 5 ft 1 and 231 lbs. I am a little nervous because just this week my allergies have flared up and I have a cough. I do not want to be coughing after surgery. Staying dilligent on my allergy medicine and praying nothing gets messed up!!!! Pre op diet is vegetarian low fat so I am not suffering to bad. Practicing on protein shakes and found some good combos I like.

Hooraaayyy!!!

Ooh don't feel left out there are plenty of us!! What combos have you been doing. Would love a different flavor!!

There are plenty of us late Sept sleevers :-) I'd love to hear about what you all are doing to add variety to you protein drinks. So far I've experimented with unsweetened almond milk, SF vanilla creamer, Splenda/trivia and ice. When I can I will use the Magic Bullet to blend.

Forget to include that I'm using Bariatric Advantage strawberry protein for pre op diet but had also experimented with Nectar flavors and a few Jay Robb flavors.

Come on over to the October group! There are so many of us. Good luck to you!

We are all starting out around the same weight! It is gonna be quite the ride. I have to say I am pretty surprised by pre-op. I am not hungry. But ketosis mouth has be a bit disturbed HAHA.

Well your very lucky! I'm still hungry!
