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?

I'm with Barker Bariatrics in Dallas, Tx on December 30th!! My preop diet is only one week and all liquid. ????

I'm so glad I get one meal with veggies and lean protein!! First 3 days are a bear!

December 29th too! Day 5 of the preop diet!

Yes the pre op is getting easier each day. Dr told me I could have a slice of turkey or something very little along in protein form to chew. Had a Christmas party at work today and I had a VERY small slice of turkey. I FEEL AWFUL! I guess my system has adjusted to liquids so I'm just not even gonna try anymore. I'm good! Praying for everyone.

I'm the 30th!

December 30th here!

My surgery is on 12/29 also and am excited and nervous. Yesterday was first day of 10-day pre-op diet of Protein shakes (using Mercola's Miracle whey - taste is yucky, but no artificial sweeteners). Feeling hungry and tired, but can't sleep, hence this 2 am post. Pre-op diet requires getting in at least 80 grams of protein daily, but cannot exceed 870 calories a day. Like some of the others who have posted here, my surgery location is 3 hours from home, so have been coming to this site for information and experiences. It has been so helpful to read the posts on here.

Me too. Liquids since 12/9. Good luck!!

My surgery is December 29th. I only have a 5 day pre op diet because I've lost almost 20 pounds during the last 6 months working with the dietician.

My surgery is December 29th as well! I am doing 4 shakes a day, sugar free jello, sugar free Popsicles and broth. I am so torn though about Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas Day. I would really like to eat that day. I have wondered if I am perfect the rest of the time if I could cheat and then just be perfect the rest of the time??!!! I am close to 300 lbs so not sure if that would make a difference.

@@Adriane5Sims That sounds exactly like my diet..my surgeon requires all patients to do this for the 2 weeks prior to surgery in order to shrink the stomach and the liver to make surgery easier. I would think eating anything at all that close to surgery (Christmas/Eve) would defeat the purpose and undo all the shrinking we've been doing. I seriously considered scheduling mine 2 weeks later for that reason, but I have been waiting so long, I didn't want to wait 2 more weeks LOL!

I asked my sis-in-law to host Christmas dinner so I won't have to smell everything cooking or have a bunch of food in my house. It will be hard but so worth it to have the surgery go as smoothly as possible.

We can do this!!!
