Hello all! I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months, thank you all for the great advice and sharing your experiences. It's been very helpful and informative! I met with the surgeon a week ago today, my surgery date is June 26. Anyone else for June?

Italian ice, jello skim milk, 100% fruit juice, soups strained (beef, chicken, cream, tomato ..

Oh and dont forget the protein shakes 2-3 per day....

I'm a June 11th sleever!!! And we are in great company it is almost our turn... Does your doctor have you going on a preop liquid diet for two weeks?

5/27 to 6/4 pre op liquid.

Starting on June 5th, my Dr. is putting me on a 800 calorie/day liquid diet. Basically, 5 Atkins shakes/day.

I'll be out of town the week before my surgery (6/18) and I just realized that, if I have to do a pre-op diet, it'll happen while I'm away from home. DUH me. Looks like I'll have to order some individual protein shake power just in case.

Every time i think about this pre op liquid diets i have to do for 10 days i get butterflies smh

I am on vacation soon too, luckily my 2 week liquid diet starts when I return. I also have to kick my caffeine habit!

Me too I love my coffee:) So it will be hard to kick, but I think I could have a cup of decaf with vanilla protein powder and the dietitian said it taste pretty good... So I'm a give that a try

Tomorrow is my visit with nurse for pre-op info!

I am so ready but sooooo scared at the same time. I have finally made the decision to take my life back! I star my pre-op on the 22nd, so I am in count down mode. I have already cut out breakfast and only have a protein shake. so starting Monday I will cut more out so I don't go into shock.

Jadeladybug - same date for me! I received insurance letter today approving surgery, very happy about that. 7 weeks to go!
