My surgery date is January 7th too. I'm excited, nervous, anxious yet looking forward to it and scared all at the same time. The pre op diet was supposed to be started on Christmas Eve so that didn't happen nor did it the next day but I am faithfully following it now. Nine days to go!

Checking in ???? I hope everyone is doing OK.

Surgery is one week from today and I have really got to buckle down with this preop diet. Cheated a bit yesterday and I know I'm only hurting myself. Hard to believe this time next week it will be done!

Im on day 11 of 16 pre-op diet...and I think i just made the best tasting shake to date... a cup of pumpkin spice coffee... a packet of stevia... and a scoop of unflavored isopure powder... 3 ice cubes...blend in ninja...pour in shaker...add 3 more ice cubes...shake till cold... omg!

@@losing.it.lulu what is blend in ninja? And is the coffee decaf? I may have to try. These plain chocolate or strawberry protein shakes are killing me

If I never have anything chocolate or strawberry flavored again it'll be too soon :-/ lol. I'm doing OK, I'm on day 5 of 10 day pre-op liquid diet. I can have fat free cottage cheese, yogurt, & sugar free Popsicles too, and broth. I find myself getting excited about some broth & cottage cheese, lol.

Ya I feel the same way about chocolate. And I get so happy when I get to have my one meal a day... but today... I didn't want anything. I've never felt like this. I think my body just gave up to the diet...finally

The ninja is the type of blender I have. And I didn't use decaf

Oh ok. I can't have any caffeine. And no meals either. 21 days of horribleness but it will be worth it
