Anyone else starting pre-op diet tomorrow Nov 4

Just wondering if anyone else is starting their pre-op diet tomorrow? I am and scheduled for surgery Nov 18. So I have to do two week of low carb (no more the 30) low fat ( no more then 10 grams) and protein (70 grams) diet.

I have made the decision to start my diet tomorrow. I'm going to do a liquid diet of protein shakes and clear liquids.

My date is Nov 19th. I don't have to officially start my pre op diet until the 11th, but I am choosing to start it tomorrow. Figure it gives me a week to really get into the "groove" of it and hopefully be able to combat the temptations before I'm really required to be. :)

I think I have cried about three times this weekend just thinking about it. I am usually an emotional person so glad my husband puts up with it. lol Guess so many things going through my head, is this what I really want to do ? have I tried hard enough on my own? what if I hate the way I look 6 months from now? . I am a over thinker on a lot of things.

I attend pre-op class tomorrow morning. My date is November 19 so I'm thinking I'll have to begin pre-op diet Tuesday.

Yup. I start my liquid protein diet tomorrow and my surgery is also on the 18th. I'm nervous, but excited.

My nut said to drink the Bariatric Advantage shakes and they are just alright. I'm wondering how I'll be feeling in a few days...

I start mine today as well kind of scared but I know if I can do this then I know am ready for the other side.

what kind of diet is everyone doing, I think I might just stick with shakes so I don't screw up.

My diet is juice( 100% fruit or veg), protein drinks( they recommended world wide pure protein shake found at trader joes), skim milk, low-fat cream soups, sugar free pudding and jello, dannon light and fit yogurt, sugar free fudgcles and popscicles. Water, crystal light, tea, can have coffee( they say preferably decafinated).

I bought 2 cases of different protein shakes at Costco. Premier Protein in chocolate( 30g of protein) and EAS( 20grams). I also ordered 3 samples packs( around 13.00) of FITFRAPPE PROTEIN shakes from Bigtrain.com.
