Hi my surgery day is 8/4/14. I'll be your buddy I love in Miami fl and I am on day 2 of pre op liquid diet

Awesome!!! thank you for responding!

How are you doing so far? I have the "I'm already missing food" thing happening and I don't start till tomorrow.

I am set for 8/11 surgery date. I would love to be buddies as well.

Honestly the first day I was fine and today I woke up with a migraine and missing food. But we have to be strong and I know I will start getting use to it.

I'm worried about the migraines. I get them ALOT and normally it's caffeine related and I know I will need to just get over it, and I will.

WE CAN DO THIS!

My name is LeeAnn, btw

Ginko helped when I cut my caffine addiction. It took the edge off. Getting off suger was harder. I sart my pre-op diet on Monday.

I will try that! I start tomorrow, so tonight is my last hurrah with food. I think this first week will be the hardest... Then get easier. I'm going protein drink shopping tonight. Those things are tough... So many leave an after taste or are chalky. :/

Hey everyone! I am 8/7, too. I start my pre-op only one week before, but I have been trying to "loosely" follow it for about the past two weeks. I am down almost 10 pounds during that time alone. I'm in Florida.

Awesome Finally Fit in Florida! It'll be a fun journey to all compare and help each other out!

I started shopping for my pre-opp diet. Costco has some good deals on protein powder and clear liquids. My concern is all the artifical sugar and food dies. Has anyone found any sugar free option made with stevia or without tons of food coloring?

I just ordered the Jay Robb sample kit based on some suggestions I'd read here. Those are made with Stevia.

I'm drinking the premier Protein ready to drink shakes, in between makin my own. I got a binder at my dr.s office with a list of the things we could get. Also there are some recipes. Everything has to be 20+ Protein grams and 5g or less of sugar. I however get dinner. A very lean and small portion of protein and bright veggies. Such as a salad...

I have to say, the premier shakes are not bad!

How was week one of pre-op diet? I start tomorrow. I am nervouse since I nver got my packet with details in the mail. I had to go to their website so I feel like I am going in not fully knowing it all. What was the hard part for week one? I think I will miss chewing. I do have a last dinner planned for Saturday, my one cheat meal.

I'm on day 5 and it's not that bad! I'm ok with my shakes and such. I'm down 8lbs already... Can't complain

How is everyone else doing?

Congrats on 8lbs! That is exciting. I was under my 1000 limit becuae I was sick of drinking. I did go to the gym while my husband made dinner. I think that helped. I feel more prepared for day two. My packet said something about Fiber did anyone get fiber sugesstions from their NUT?
