@nikkiblueyes @kazy298 @

I'll be joining you on July 13th as well! I was told two shakes per day and one low carb, lean Protein meal. The caffeine and carb withdrawals are already giving me a headache at just day 2, ugh!

[nikkiblueyes 25]

Awesome!! I have 1 week 3-4 shakes a day with 1 high Protein meal

Surgery July 10th and start my two week all liquid diet this Friday. I will be partaking of wine on Thursday night. I feel your judgement... And that's ok!! ????

Mine is the 10th as well....

Mine is July 11. I'm very excited but nervous! My Dr says I need to do the pre-op for 5 days but I am going to start it early just to be safe. It's a Protein Shake and clear liquid diet. I've read lots of comments on the forums about how awful it is. I'm hoping it isn't as bad as people say. supporting eachother will help, I think.

I'm July 6th!

July 7th here. I am going out for one last steak dinner tomorrow.
The pre and post op liquid diets suck but the reality is our love of eating ( or addictive eating) is what got us here. I'm terrified because this tool will only work if I work with it. I am also terrified because food was the only addiction I had left after recovering from my others.
I believe we will all be successful. I wish us all the best and speedy recoveries.

I am prepping by eating everything I might ever want before I can't eat it. But I will stick rigidly to the 2 week pre op diet I was prescribed. I will actually be glad when it starts. I need the structure. I just want it to be surgery day already.

My friend did that, and said it was the biggest mistake she did.. She said when she started the pre op diet.. She went through withdrawal.. Night sweats headaches etc.. She said it was horrible.. So I'm taking her advice and trying to cut the bad foods now and start Protein Shakes to supplement meals.. Hopefully its not so bad.

That's cool, I'm starting three shakes a day on Monday so you bet you bottom I will be having a last supper at a restaurant:) super excited though!!!

Same here girl!! I have been baking to try and get it out of my system. I'm eating terrible but I only have until Sunday then I will be strict on my shakes three times a day!

The shakes are a big adjustment. I am finding myself thinking about eating my cat. I am only on day three and already tired of the artificial sweet taste. My surgeon has us do 4 shakes at 200 calories a pop. I am also allowed crystal light and boullion. The beef boullion at least gives me a savory flavor.

I know I will get through this but, there is no dressing it up. This sucks.

I am just looking forward to surgery and recovery.

[nikkiblueyes 25]

My gf is 2 days out and she is in so much pain ????

I'm trying to not think about it but really makes me nervous about recovery. They had her drink barium to put gas in her stomach to check for leaks 24hrs after and she started to dry heave.

I pray we all have good pain meds ????????

[Fair_Maidan 27]

July 13 for me too!

[AvalonNeeCee 127]

Well I have been eating everything I might miss. I bought some samples of different shakes like nectar. I really like the premier Protein and it is sold by costco online so perfect!! Don't even have to take the time to mix it like some of the others. I am ready for the pre surgery diet to get rolling because someone asked me today if I was pregnant...UGHHHHH
