Dana, I'm EXCITED! I'm on day 2 of liquid pre-op and lost 7lbs so far. I am starting to feel the effects already of no sugar, caffeine, carbs...but like you said...ONLY 12 MORE DAYS!

That's awesome, wondering how many pounds I will lose. I'm not going to weigh myself until next Tuesday. I can lose 30 lbs. and still proceed with surgery, that would be so excellent :). I'm very happy our time is approaching.

I have a friend that is having the surgery too and she ordered different Protein drinks, she bought the drinks not the shakes but they taste good. It is what I plan on getting for my clear liquids(just no red). The have 40 grams of Protein too.

I've noticed a lot of people saying they have purchased Isopure. Is that because your surgeon suggested it? Or because of another reason? Just curious. :)

Oct 7th here also. Caffeine withdrawls whew ..... But I refuse to cheat ! I am on low carb high Protein diet.... I didn't get in all the food I was supposed today (busy day on road) do y'all think that's ok ? Adjusting to eating 6 x's a day is not the easiest!

Yes the caffeine, it was difficult. I had to slowly decrease my intake because I was getting headaches but didn't realize my headaches were a result of it until I met with my NUT. I didn't realize I was drinking so much coffee while at work. I'm with you, we've come to far now to mess up. Six meals through out the day will be a huge challenge for me when I return to work. We can do it though!! Stay in touch and I'll do the same. We're almost there :)!!

i watched some u tube videos of others with gastric sleeve. The clear is low calorie no carbs & 40 GM of Protein. The powders are 50gm protein, no carb or low carb for 200 calories and they taste pretty good

My surgeon recommended bipro Protein because it's an isolate protein and doesn't have a bunch of added fillers like most protein powders do. I've also heard a lot of good reviews on Unjury protein powders.

I just noticed that when you type Un Jury without the space it converts it into a link... Like it did my previous post. I only wrote "good reviews on un jury Protein powders" Interesting lol

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
