I thought for sure I would be wanting to have lots of "last time" er's but I had Greek yogurt with fresh cherries for breakfast and chicken on a salad for lunch. I may try to get some good BBQ tomorrow but outside of that I have no desire to splurge. I think I may be getting ready for this.

I'm with you pitot guy. I start on Monday. Are you doing optifast?

Oops pittguy darn autocorrect

Congrats u two! Your doing it the smart way, if u pig out u will make the diet harder. Post op i still miss things like fried perch fish, but maybe next year I will have a piece. I'm trying to tell myself it's not no, just not right now, but then in moderation. U guys will do great! Best Wishes!

Three to four protein shakes a day with a max of 800 calories. Then at least 64oz of non caffeinated, non carbonated, drinks with less than 10 calories per serving.

Thanks ElleG. I think the anticipation of the 2 weeks is getting to me.

Mitzie,

Do you know your post op diet? My doc has me on 8 days of clear liquids with no calories except for 1/8th a cup of fruit juice three times a day mixed with 1/8 a cup of water.
