Looking for pre op buddies. Anyone in January ?

I'm not allowed any solid foods

Me neither. But I'm at the required weight loss for the preop and still have several days to go. What's wrong with subbing cheese for a Protein shake

What's wrong with it? Because your surgeon doesn't allow it, that's what's wrong with it.

I'm a "rules" girl. If there's a rule, there's a reason for the rule. Your surgeon said "no solid food", not "so solid food until you lose XX pounds." Give yourself the best chance you can to be successful, by following your surgeon's rules.

I've been on all liquid diet for 18 days now and have lost 12.1 lbs. I've cheated a few time.

I am on clear liquid pre-op diet since last week. My surgery is scheduled for 1/21. I have kinda lost my appetite. I "like" the Syntrax Nectar Sweets chocolate And vanilla protein shakes but have not had more than 2 per day.

Jan. 26th with Dr. Ponce de Leon! Excited and nervous!!!

My surgery is jan 26th as well

Just had to share, two things that are saving my sanity during this ten day pre op diet....lol

herb ox (8 count box) - sodium free broth packets - Just add 1 cup hot water and one packet broth with a very small pinch of salt, also Milksplash squeezable syrup they come in - orange cream, strawberry, banana, Cookies and cream - sugar free to add to my Protein powder.

Both at wal-mart.

Thanks rfriend82

Day 1 of pre op diet. So far, so good.

On day 2 not too bad so far hopefully the next 7 days fly by

On pre op diet for a week one more week to go... Still hungry w horrible headaches but not cheating just not happy but I am down 11lbs ;()

I'm scheduled for January 28th. Anyone in Stamford, CT area?

Ok. Made it through day zero post op. Felt like I did a bazillion crunches and today maybe just a zillion.

"Gas or belly air" hurt my shoulders worse than my belly I think but still manageable on the pain scale. Would've been nice to be warned of that

And I finally peed'd again so I get to go home today!!!

Looking forward to at least being in my own home.

Best of luck and speedy recovery to all you guys!!!

Discharged a few hour ago. Coming home to three excited dogs and a family that really wasn't sure how to handle things was rough.

A few pot holes later, some liquid Tylenol and a nice long nap I'm doing much better. Trying some minestrone broth and one oz Isopure non flavored Protein.

I take it thought he Tylenol counts as

I take it thought he Tylenol counts as fluids!!!
