Good luck btlombardo... March 4th is just around the corner. .

I'm scheduled for March 5th. Start my liquid diet this Tuesday! I'm using Matrix vanilla protein shakes. I'm blessed to have a doctor who hosts an incredible support group monthly. We get to try all manner of protein shakes, etc.

I am on March 17th my preop is March 3rd. I think my date is wrong on the list.

Brenda my surgery date is also March 17th!! Good luck to you. Are you as nervous as I am??

Good luck to you too! I am nervous but also very excited. Does your preop diet start the 3rd?

I have been on a preOp diet since Thanksgiving. My surgeon required I lose 10% of my weight before surgery. I made goal today so I am good to go. I have had to see a dietician everyMonth. Now that I am just weeks away I am seeing the dietician every week. I have dropped almost 40 pounds.

Congrats on the weight loss that is fantastic. The only preop I have is on the 3rd for two weeks but it is an all liquid diet.

I was pretty freaked out about the protein shakes but found the Muscle Milks to be pretty good and easily tolerated. I haven't tried the powdered protein yet. I am drinking one meal replacement shake a day.

Me too! I'm scheduled for 3/3. I'm 7 days into my liquid diet... already down 10 pounds! Starting to get really nervous about the recovery & when I can eat something other than protein drinks. Anyone else super grumpy and tired on this liquid diet? I hope my husband is still talking to me by my surgery date. Jk.

March 18!

I love my Protein shake - Numedica Slim Fit. All natural, sweetened with stevia, dutch chocolate. 26g protein

To prep for surgery: I've lined up a family member for the dog to stay with for a week. A dog walker for the second week. I'm deep cleaning my house and will do so again when the date is closer. I'm making homemade stocks so I don't have to use bouillon, and freezing them. I'm making my friends and family aware of what I'm to expect afterwards so they know how to be of assistance to me. I've lined up friends/family to come by each day I'm out of work since my husband will only be off of work the days I'm in hospital. I have help coming over for 2weeks!
