I've decided to start my pre op diet a month before July 1st surgery date and...so far I am feeling pretty good. I went to the Vitamin shoppe today and picked up some samples of the Syntrax nectars Protein drinks...so far I have tried the Caribbean one and as long as I put a lot of ice...it tastes really delicious!

Did anyone else start their preop diet early? How much weight did you lose?

My surgery date is July 3rd! I've thought of starting early, but that seems like an awfully long time. Especially since we will also be on liquids 6 weeks post op (well, I will). But that's awesome if you can do it!

Haha! I've never heard that! But in my skinny days I look like a sober version of Britney Murphy! Lol

And congrats on your wedding! Definitely live it up

My date is July 2nd in Tijuana. I am also planning to start early. I think it's because for the first time in a few years, I have just the tiniest sliver of hope that my efforts might lead to success. It makes me want to jump right in!

(A dark thought still lurks in my mind that for some never-to-be-discovered reason, I will be the freaky example of a 237-pound woman who couldn't lose weight even after weight loss surgery)

I also hope to keep my surgery fairly private, and having my community see me start a regular old shake diet one more time is good for my cover!
