I noticed quite a few members on here having their surgery on the 1st July! Would be nice if we could all stick together and help each other out throughout this 2 week diet! I started mine today!

Mine starts today, too! July 1st cannot come fast enough!

I started the pre op diet today. It wasn't too bad except for major headache. I had my EAS protein shakes, jello, water, and beef broth.

Yay for July 1st!

Although at yesterday's pre-op testing, I learned I had only a one day pre-op diet of Clear liquids, I do not feel comfortable with a 58 year old liver (that has got to be fat) so I started my own liquid program today. I have had Water and chicken broth, will have a Protein shake for lunch. I do have a raging headache though.

Hubby is going through most of it with me, as a sign of support for me. Not to mention, he could use losing a few pounds. I am not asking him to give up his coffee though. I appreciate that he's being so supportive.

Good luck today!

Susan good luck with your surgery. I think it is good your r going to try to shrink your liver, but u need more protein shakes than u are doing . Mine is 6 a day ( using advantage edge , 17 gr protien, no sugar) also sugar free popsicles and jello.. My dr requires 2 weeks of this. Just thought it might help your symptoms to add more. Good luck!

The nutritionist gave me a Protein goal of 62 grams. I had 21 gr. for lunch. Will have a shake later for 25 gr. and then dinner ... oops, if I'm not careful, I'll be over on carbs in a minute. (I ended up with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup for 100 cal. and 21 carbs.)

Surg date of July 1,2014 so this is day 2 or preop diet. No been to bad so far , but I mentally feel like I have to eat food enough though I ann not very hungry.i have been drinking a ton of water so far and relying on crystal light .

Well day 3 for me is here! I feel a bit better today after I had a bit of a mental break down last night! But still haven't cheated! I am also allowed to have the optifast chocolate mousse desert which I found a great love for last night! Really took the urge off having to need something sweet! Energy levels are a bit low, but I am just taking each day as it comes!

The only protein shakes I can tolerate are Syntrax Nectar so I'm all set sweet-tooth wise. I'm just plain old hungry! Drinking plenty of water, so that's good. Onward and upward!

My surgery is scheduled for 7/1 also. Luckily I only have a week pre op, so I start next week.

Almost done with day three. I feel hungry and a bit discouraged. Hoping tomorrow or the next day will be better.

I'm a July 1st sleever also. Day 3 was better than day 2, had bad withdrawals yesterday. Just taking it one day at a time is all we can do.

Day 4 of of 2weeks pre op liquid diet. It seems like each day gets a little better. Made a protein shake using my EAS shakes this morning which was a little more filling than just drinking them straight. July 1st hurry up!!!

I did the same this afternoon using almond milk and put the probiotic along with liquid vitamin in my shake. And July 1st needs to hurry up!!

I've discovered the joy of "cream of" Soups. I had a cream of cheddar cheese last night and a cream of chicken tonight. What a difference a little dairy makes in feeling more full!
