Good luck! I'm on day 3, surgery on the 17th. It's not the worst thing, but it is challenging. You have each other for support to stay strong, so that's nice.

Hi there! I am on Day 5 of pre-op. by day 3&4, it gets sooo much easier. Days 1&2 were the toughest and those were the days I stayed the busiest.

Keep the mind busy!

You can do it, today was the easiest day yet!

Good luck to us on our journey.

I am so excited and scared at the same time. I am scared of what I am going to look and feel like skinny I can't remember the last time I was under 250 I want to get down to a goal wight of 210 or even 195 I am at 335 now before the pre-op diet. I am excited at the same time wired feeling just saying.

I start mine on Tuesday and am really worried about being strong and sticking to it and also becoming a total b***h, which happens when i get hungry. My husband isn't supportive of the surgery so I don't know if he will help make it easier for me or not. It is cool you an your wife are able to do this together.

I worried about my wife being a b***h to she had the the lap band in 2008 and when she did that diet watch out. I do think we will help each other this time and the b mood will not come from her this time I think it will come from me. She going to rub this in my face this time Khama a b***h.

For me:

Breakfast: EAS Lean Protein shake mixed with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Dannon light n fit Greek yogurt.

Lunch: EAS Lean Protein Shake mixed with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Dannon light n fit Greek yogurt.

Dinner: Broiled chicken breast; steamed veggies or a big salad. Or both.

Snack: raw almonds or a 3rd Protein Shake.< /p>

It's very regimented but I need strict boundaries or I will deviate and eat uncontrollably. I'm not saying this is the best way, but its what I need. I'm trying to do 1200 calories a day so I lose weight preop safe and healthy. I hope I'm doing it right! I would just listen to your surgeon.

Are you going to do the 2 week liquid diet?

[AmandaRaeLeo 2,145]

Are you going to do the 2 week liquid diet?

3 days of Clear liquids, starting 3 days b4 surgery, is what my coordinator forwarded to me.

I started my preop diet extra early with the blessing of my coordinator due to my high BMI. That's why I say talk to your surgical team about your preop. They're the professionals and we are all different. I'd never say what I'm doing is best for the next person...
