Today is day 1 of pre op clear liquid diet. Went well for the most part. Surgery is Dec 29th and can't wait! Anyone else out there on the same day?

Dec 29th here!!! Yay started liquids too

My surgery is Dec. 29th. I've was not given a presurgery diet but am starting protein drinks and low-carb diet (20 grams a day) to adjust to post-surgery eating.

Me too! Started the preop diet today, but I'm allowed lean protein and non-starchy veggies, so it's tolerable so far. I would kill for a banana right now! ????

Wow! I wonder why some have to do 14 day clear or 7 day clear or 2 day clear or what you are doing or either nothing. Makes me think that well, if I have some green beans or a slice of lunch meat and chew really really good, it will be alright. I did great today to say the least but I work at a school and THEY will have staff parties during tests Wed - Fri but I am determined to do it! They all know and have been threatened if they bring any food near me, lol!

I'm scheduled for Dec.30. My 2wk pre-op is replace dinner with a protein shake and clear liquids for 2days before surgery.. There sure is a wide discrepancy between pre-op requirements. Hmmmm

Hi I'm the 29th too. I'm a little uncomfortable at family function. Holliday food and people saying well can't you just have a little. So far I've stuck to my guns

Just tell them (in a nice loving way) that there is so much more to it. If people haven't lived like tthis, they have no idea. Instead of people judging, they should be supportive but it's not always like that. I guess some may be jealous bc they don't have the courage to take a step to a healthier life. @ chin up. This will pass and people will forget. You have to do YOU!

I'm Dec 29th also! Started the liquid diet yesterday. I get 5 protein shakes and all the clear liquids
I want per day. I am trying not to think about 12 more days of this! They say it gets easier after the first 3 or 4 days. I hope so!

Thats the exact same pre-op diet I am on. So far I am hanging on pretty good only 10am though lol

My date is the 30th. Luckily my liquid diet is only seven days! Good luck!

I am scheduled for Dec. 30th!!! I don't have a "pre-op" diet for the week before, but I am still replacing at least 1 meal a day with a Protein shake, and the day before I will have only Clear liquids starting in the late afternoon, and nothing to eat or drink after midnight. The pre-op diets sure do seem to vary. Getting excited, but nervous too!!! + Anyone else feeling that way?? I'm looking forward to it, but more to actually having the operation part over with, so I can begin my recovery and life on the other side of the sleeve!!!

I'm scheduled for surgery on Dec 29th as well but my doctor recommends a high protein diet for our two week pre op. He stated it will decrease the size of our liver thus helping him access our stomach better.

I am 12/29 too! Two-week liquid diet here. 4-5 shakes and clear liquids yippee! Excited to find others scheduled around the same time as me. I live 100 miles from my surgeon's office so won't be joining their support group. I hope to find the support I need here

Yep. Heard back from my insurance fairly quickly so December 29th is my big day too. A lot mixed emotions right now, ugh. Consultation tomorrow with my surgeon!!!

Ok this liquid diet gets Easier on day 4. !! :0) ok the 29th is getting close where's everyone getting there I'm at blossom bariatrics in Las Vegas
