I am also July 30th at 8am. Starting weight is 236. Nervous about the preop diet for 2 weeks

Yay! We are in this together! :)

Yes I weaned off the caffeine and started this week replacing one meal with protein shake and next week trying for two. Thought that would make the two weeks a little easier. I hope!

I am also really nervous about the pre-op diet. I have to be on it for 9 days. I've heard the first couple of days are the hardest and once you get over that it's a breeze. ;)

Getting closer! I start per-op diet tomorrow, hope it goes well. I have a lot of activities planned for tomorrow to help keep me busy. How's it going for all of you?

I start on Monday. Trying to ease into in this weekend. So nervous you guys! I'm an emotional roller coaster! Happy- nervous- scared- disbelief. You name it, I feel it. I'm just trying to stay focused. :)

I hope You all are all doing ok on pre-op. I just tried something that's pretty good. I mixed about 4 oz V8 ( low sodium) with about 8 oz chicken broth. It was decent and something different.

How many protein shakes are you on? My Dr. Has me doing 5 and I'm having a hard time fitting them in. I ended up doing my last two together last night.

July 30th here also had my bloodwork done an hour a go. Im really nervous! Im not seeing the future and thats scarring me a little!

Thats because you're blinded by how incredibly bright its going to be. :) My nerves havent kicked in yet! Trying to keep busy..when I run out of things to do I'm in trouble lol

Tomorrow I have my pre-op meeting with my surgeon. It's when I will find out what time my surgery is and all the last minute details. I'm so excited to know more details. It's a little surreal to me right now and each step makes it more real.
