I know I saw several people getting sleeved on August 6th like me. I began my pre-op liquid diet today and am getting super excited and nervous!!!

What is your pre-op diet like, did you eat any of your favorite foods last week (I know I had a few meals of my favorites), what do you find most exciting/most scary?

That's a bummer! It's interesting to see who is allowed what. Hope you have a better day today. Did you get the bad storms we had last night? Part of our neighbor's fence blew down!

It stormed, but nothing bad at my house....I work in Okmulgee and there were some tree limbs and stuff down in the streets, so I guess they got some of what y'all got there.

Any aug 6 th !! People want to be my surgery buddy??

I am on clear liquids. Mostly I drink an isopure rtd for breakfast or lunch, a protein drink of some sort for the other meal, and then some sort of protein drink for dinner, interspersed with 'protein jello jigglers' I made, SF popsicles, and the like. Crystal Lite is my friend, and Special K2O has been my friend, too.

Good morning! Soooooooooooo how did day 2 of your pre-op diet go?

I'm finding I have a lot of energy.....not sure if it's the no carbs or just excited this is happening soon.

I've always struggled with grazing (emotional eating, I'm sure).....but I am so focused on following the pre-op plan, that I haven't deviated from it [thank goodness for small miracles ]

I mentioned gas was a problem.....well, I found my new best friend...GasX.....what a difference.....thought I'd share in case anyone else is in the same boat.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Day two for me was ok... not bad. Had to go to a family dinner last nite. I stayed strong and stuck to diet. 12 more days. Did pre admission testing yesterday. Feeling more energy today.

I'm glad you guys are feeling better today....I'm actually more tired today than the last two days.

I don't have to do the two week diet , just the day before surgery .. I have been eating food I think I will miss and have lost 3 lb in a week .. Wth !! Lol I'm getting very scared and haven't been able to be excited because of the fear .. Am I alone in this fear problem ??

You are not alone at all!! I have been freaking out.

What time is your surgery on the 6th??

So, here I am on Day 3 of the pre-op diet and wow. The new term in my house is LILO - liquid in, liquid out. I am so cleaned out and I have lost 5 pounds. Of course I know that most of that is Fluid but hey a loss is a loss.

Caffeine withdrawal headache is gone...almost so that is making me very happy.

Yesterday was the fist day-day 6 of liquids--when I didn't need a nap in the afternoon. I was actually able to work all through the day yesterday and today. But I'm still going to bed early. My husband, in contrast, is still chipper and bouncy and if I didn't love him, I'd smack him!

I started a day early so yesterday was day 3 for me and the mental cravings were awful. I am allowed one small, high Protein meal and well, I broke down and had a cheese enchilada and payed for it all night. It set up like a brick in my stomach. I will not be breaking my preop diet again!!

Today the cravings weren't half as bad as yesterday but that could be because I know how bad giving in to that craving felt.

I can't wait for August 6th to get here! Ready to start the new, healthier chapter of my life.

I'm on my liquid diet and my husband is eating BBQ ribs right now!! Ugh!!

I am on the 6 to yay!!!!!!!!!

Wow it is a lot of us on the 6 it must be lucky!!!!

Yea I know it must be a good sign!!!

3rd day of pre-op liquid diet...and I ate grilled chicken at a baby shower sit down dinner. I didn't eat anything else, including the cake pops. Still went down another pound yesterday. I've been reading about a lot of complications lately and started getting a little freaked out. One of the grandmothers at the shower told me she had gastric bypass and that I was making a good informed decision. I feel like God put her in my path to calm me down.
