Hello, my name is Sparke..

My date is set for April 8th and I'm loaded with every emotion imaginable.

I start my liquid diet on the 25th of March n I'm excited. I'm afraid of failing so I need this support group to help me get through this process. Thanks for all you guys posts. It has helped tremendously.

Welcome and good luck to you! When you start your liquid diet keep your eye on the prize. The first 3 days are the worst, on the 4th you get used to it. Just take it one day at a time.

If you need anything or have questions feel free to reach out.

Get ready to enjoy the rest of your life!

@@Djmohr thank you!

I will keep you posted

Wishing you the very best.

Thank u @@Crosby

Surgery date of March 25 and going into day 3 of liquid preop. It's not bad, stay focused...I'm not going to say you won't feel deprived lol, you will BUT after day 2 I'm feeling much better!

Thank you @@Skinny Steps.

MeSparkle83 you got this focus on one day at a time and before you know it you will be on the losers bench . Good luck and keep us posted .

Hey Sparke, hang in there because your rainbow is within arms reach. I am on day 6 of my pre op and yes the first 3 days are hard, but it gets better as the days past. My date is the 31st of the month and im am full of emotions as well...lets get ready to celebrate a new us girl!!

@ cupcake I'm trying to stay focused n move forward

@@mstee83 ur day is approaching as well as mine.

I tell myself every day that I wanted this for so long don't $&!$ it up now

I have 1 more full day and I'm crazy nervous excited! Lol I've been trying to stick to a strict diet but I did have some cream of potato soup...not horrible!

@@meSparkle83 yes ma'am...i shall not $!#& it up...lol...we got this lady...if i can make it thru this pre op optifast diet i can make it thru anything...

@ Skinny steps you made it lady..

Ur day is approaching. You got it!

@ mstee83 "fa sho" we got this..lol

I've been trying all these protein shakes the last two days. I don't want to buy a big container due to the fact ur taste buds change..

Have u found one that u like?

@ mesparkle83 indeed...its in the bag! My dr has me on a specific brand of protien shakes called Optifast. Its the only brand he authorized...of course because the office sells it...but they SUCK SOOOOO BAD!!! I can only manage to swallow the chocolate one in huge gulps. I also have bars and broth which is tolerable. I dont know if im more excited about surgery or the day i can stop drinking these shakes.

As for Protein shakes...i did like optimum nutrition gold standard frm GNC...i was also a big fan of Isopure.

Hope you find one you like...if so please share...i really have a hard time with these shakes.
