[Jennifer Michelle Plumley 15]

My surgery is scheduled March 6! I am so excited! Driving over to Dallas, Texas to have mine. Is anyone familiar with Dr Cribbins at Baylor hospital?

Hope everything goes great Jennifer! I wish mine was only a few days away. I'm only on day 1 of the diet and I'm ready to jump ahead.

Day 2 of the pre-op diet was not great, but I made it through. 12 days to go.

Good luck tomorrow Nancy...I will be in Noblesville for the nite tomorrow and surgery 8am Thursday.

Very anxious and nervous...

[kimmykimIN66 14]

Clbsmm2000...it does get a little easier. Good luck with preop.

You can do this...just stick to it...One day at a time!!

[ClbsMm2000 95]

Thank you. I was encouraged to step on the scale and see I'm 6 lbs lighter than I was Sunday night!! Of course Sunday night I had just eaten my last meal. Lol

[ClbsMm2000 95]

Good luck to you both on your surgeries tomorrow and Thursday.

I'm 14 lbs down preop....wanted 20 but will see....remember Protein is important....I was only doing one shake a day...do at least 2.

Thanks for well wishes...

I had my surgery yesterday. It went good. I'm really sore and not to much gas. Good luck everyone! I lost 10 lbs on my preoperative diet.

Went to GNC today to start my stash! They let me taste the GNC banana cream shake, it tastes GREAT!! They also have a special buy one get one half off. I bought the vanilla and banana cream. I'll prob blend a vanilla (it was kinda sweet) and a Greek yougurt for a high Protein smoothie..(when I'm at that stage) . The shakes have 25grams of protein, 2 grams of sugar and 3 grams of Fiber, 6 carbs and 170 cal. Just thought I'd share. I know everyone is always looking for protein options that are tasty.
