Mine is on the 29th also. I was just told a couple of days of clear but to work diligently to lose some prior to surgery. I'm excited about this journey.

Y'all sure are quiet!! I am so excited I can't shut up LOL!

Clear Liquids only tomorrow, then nothing after midnight... I don't even have to be there until 1 pm Monday, so I'm gonna be cranky and hungry all day :(

Surgery is supposed to be at 3 pm. I would've liked it to be earlier, but I will take it!

BTW - does anyone know of an app I can get on my phone that will help me track my food/protein, Water, etc.?

I use Baritastic. It let me set goals for carbs, Protein, etc. and shows a handy summary so I know how close I am to my goal. I like it!

I'm scheduled for the 29th as well and I'm so excited! I don't know how I only just found this page today but I'm so glad I did. My pre-op diet was a bit of a struggle but now that I'm down to the last couple days there's no way I'm going to let anything stop me from staying on track. (I was a binge eater so it was really hard to only eat what was allowed. SUPER crabby and hungry on days 1-3. My insurance wouldn't cover my surgery so I'm having it done in Mexico so I'm really anxious about losing enough weight beforehand/shrinking my liver enough. I would be devastated to get all the way there and then not be able to have the procedure done.

Out of curiosity, how much weight has everyone lost so far? I'm only down 9lbs. My pre-op diet allowed for 3 Protein shakes and a lean and green meal daily and I fully took advantage of it lol. I also cheated a little on Christmas but only liquids yesterday, today and tomorrow so I'm hoping to lose a few more in Water weight. Two more days everyone!!!!

Is Gatorade considered a "clear liquid"?

I'm not sure about Gatorade. The diet guidelines from my dr listed "sugar free sports drinks", but generally speaking, Gatorade is acceptable on a clear liquid diet. I personally haven't had any just because of that "sugar free" business on my paperwork.

Mine requires 4-5 Protein Shakes + clear liquids for 2 weeks (I would've loved some lean Protein and greens!!!), and I've lost about 13 lbs! That alone is pretty exciting LOL!

Good luck with your trip and your surgery @@hdd55146!!

My pre-op was I Protein Shake Meal Replacement with lean Protein and steamed veggies. But I have restricted my eating to practice for post-op. I have lost 10 lbs and tomorrow I'm two days from sleeping. Liquids only. I'm as ready as I can be.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
