Anyone?!? My surgery is Jan 6th and looking for others

I start my pre op diet in the morning! Two weeks till surgery! I'm excited but nervous!

What does your pre-op diet consist of? I start my second week on it tomorrow. It is a lot harder than I expected! I have lost 13 pounds in 6 days. I have been dreaming about food at night. Lol!

My diet isn't actually that bad. I get two shakes, 3/4 cup of vegetables, 1/2 cup cottage cheese and two pieces of fruit. I can also eat as many sf Popsicles or sf Jello. I think I will do ok on it since I get two eat stuff with it. I think it would be horrible on just straight shakes! Is that what yours is?

Yes. Four Protein shakes a day and Clear liquids. It is not fun. I wish I got to do what you are doing! You are lucky!

My surgery is Jan 8. I start my pre op diet on the 1st and have not had great communication with my doctor because he is German. He says full liquid diet meaning anything I can drink from a cup. I'm so nervous for the diet and surgery....but I'm super ready to get it started!

Thanks! I'm glad I have a surgery buddy! It's nice to compare stories! What's your diet like? Mines not to bad I still get food. I'm so glad it's not straight shakes.

Started my 3 weeks protein shake diet today. Yuck. It's optifast prescribed by my surgeon. And I have a whole 3 week supply so I can't change. But I am determined to stick with it.

My preop started on 12/27/13 and consists of 2 Meal Replacement shakes and 1 meal 1 week prior to surgery. I was upset because they really gave no guidelines so I called the nutritionist to see if I was on track, which I was. It is a new step they are putting into the program but they are not really organized on putting on paper to follow. I told the nutritionist that it should so that patients are able to know what to do.

Cool beans! We can do this!

My 2 weeks consist of 2 shakes/2meals! I tried just shakes on yesterday, DAY ONE, and felt terrible. So decided to stick with the diet my dr recommended and feeling such much better on DAY TWO.

How are you fairing

I only have to do 1 week and I started today. I can only have 5 protein shakes mixed with water. UGH
