Honestly it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. From reading other posts I feel my dr has a more strict pre op diet.. 2 weeks liquid.. 3 Protein drinks, Jello, sugar free pops, broth and one yogurt a day..

It's day 5 out if 14 and I'm feeling good.. I would kill for some Tomato Soup right now but it's all going to be worth it..

Also my surgeon didn't require any weight lost before he would schedule the surgery so I'm guessing that could be why the pre op is so strict..

Sf hot chocolate with unflavored Protein is very yummy on these chilly nights...also if you get headaches your first few days sip on some 99% fat free chicken broth, the little extra salt helps with those and it counts toward your liquid goal.

You can do it! I followed the diet and had surgery Wednesday. I am doing great and I know the program before surgery really helped my surgery and recovery.

Hang in there! You CAN do this!

My surgery is on the 19th. I started my pre-op diet on Nov 5th. The first few days were brutal. I can have broth, sf Jello, pudding, sf yogurt, fruit juice, Protein Shakes and Soup. I'm eating the boxed organic Soups. Tomato and the like. I've also gotten soup at whole foods( hot food) and trader Joes( minestrone). I cant stomach the low-fat cream soups. Those are meant for casseroles!! I've lost 9lbs so far. On Sunday( at noon), I switch to Clear Liquids until Monday at midnight. On Monday I do the bowel prep. Those 2 days of clear liquids will be hard. I love the FitFrappe Protein shakes from Big Train. They almost make me think I'm drinking a starbucks frappacino.

I did end up having a muscle milk Protein Drink at work! I really want to try the Unjury chicken broth and the unflavored so I can mix it in with juices and things like that! I'm just doing one week so hopefully all goes well! The first day haven't been too bad!

Mmm I love the strawberry muscle milk. So far muscle milk is my favorite.

I start mine Tuesday 11/19 for 3 weeks with surgery 12/10.

Soups not allowed on mine but I can have 3 oz chicken or cod.

This morning we went out for Breakfast for perhaps my last full breakfast (I spared nothing).

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
