Hello everyone! I wanted to go ahead and start an August surgery group. With everyone's date rolling in, I figured it was time! My surgery is August 2 and I am nervous and excited, but mostly ready to be done!!! How about everyone else?

Today I started my 9 day liquid diet!

HMR 800 shakes (nasty) I will make it 9 days, but it's gonna be one of the hardest things I ever done!

Any got any good suggestions to make them taste better? Lol

My revision is set for August 21st!! After 5 unsuccessful years with the lap band I am switching to the gastric! I cannot wait to start this new chapter!

I'm not sure which one u got, but if its a powder add SF Jello to it or some kind of flavoring.

Can u change it to a different one? That's Wat my friends hav done. They went to Walmart n bought New Whey protein n also meal replacements. Hope this helps.

I don't have to do that. My dr. changed the pre op diet about a month ago. I started yesterday, all I do is eat all the meat I want, and 50 carbs a day. Then the day before surgery I do a clear liquid. So mine is not to bad. Except I'm suppose too drink 64oz of liquids n.I'm not a big drinker, I only drank 44oz yesterday.

I gotta question? Am I the only one that does not have to do the liquid pre op diet??

I didn't have to do one either. Surgery was july 24
