My surgery date is on July 11. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I am now doing the protein liquid diet (today being my first day). Hoping to drop some lbs in the next couple weeks before my scheduled surgery.

Good luck, Jennifer. I'm in the middle of my pre-op diet, surgery on the 2nd. It's not easy, but we can do this!

Good luck! try different kinds and see which ones are 'tasty' to you then buy some extra for when you get home. :0)

I am with you. My surgery Jul 12, and I started also today on the liquid diet. Just dont think about food. Not important anymore.

Woo Hoo! It's hard but well worth it. STICK with the program, and see you on the sleeved side!

I start my pre-surgery liquid diet in the 8th of July, so I did a test drive of the Protein shakes I purchased and of those I like I have plenty on board and ready.

This is such a great prep time for you. I can't even imagine NOT doing this pre op diet! You will be AMAZED but the weight that comes off when you go into surgery and get weighed!

I was discouraged the first week, with only losing 3 pounds. I was elated day of surgery when the scale showed I had dropped another 10 pounds!!total of 13 pounds!! it felt soooo good and promising to know I was on the right track! Don't weigh yourself in the hospital. I had gained 11 pounds. They told me that was normal from the i.v.s and healing process. I weighed my self tonight, Post op 5 days and I've released/lost 4 of the 11 gained. So I'm not worried.

Be strong and aske them for WHATEVER you may need! Best wishes.
