Hello everyone! Tomorrow starts my two week pre-op diet. I am allowed 3 - 4 Protein shakes that my doctor provided, sugar free Jello and Popsicles, and 1 cup low sodium chicken broth per day. I'm not nervous about the pre-op diet but just the opposite...I am excited!!! To me it feels like the actual beginning of my journey and I am so excited about the future.

Had planned to have a celebration dinner tonight with my BF (that stands for best friend and boyfriend....he had been my best friend for 15+ years and then we started dating over a year ago). Nothing super crazy...just my favorite Mexican food place. Thing is...I have been so excited today that I can't eat!!! Who does that the day before their pre-op diet starts!!!

So it's almost 7 pm here and we haven't left for the restaurant as I have no desire to eat!

Will someone virtually punch me

I'm right there with you! I start my two week diet tomorrow too. I'm nervous and excited. I'm starting my journal tonight for this journey and plan to weigh in the morning. This is so exciting!

Good luck y'all!!

I was so excited that I chose to do my pre-op diet for a month instead of the prescribed two weeks. No food funerals for me.

I totally feel you!

I am now two years (and one month) out and I'm STILL excited. Best decision EVER and I don't regret a second of it.

You GO!

All the best to you all...
Enjoy the excitement and the process...
And if it ever gets to a point where it drags you down, just remember...

It's so completely worth it. No matter what drawbacks and difficulties you may come across, it's worth it..

Good luck and stay on it...

You'll be fine!!

Kinda...

@@LipstickLady Thank you!

@@KindaFamiliar Thank you!

Awesome!!! Y'all are so lucky, I'm still waiting to set up an appointment to set a date for my Sleeve and start my pre-op.. Good luck!!

@@Tazwella Is your surgery date 8/3 as well?

Good luck with your pre-op diet!

@@LipstickLady Thank you!

Yes, my surgery is Aug 3 too! I'm in Fort Worth and having surgery with Adam Smith. You?

Good luck!!!! Y'all are going to do great!!

Good luck on the start of your liquid diet leading up to a whole new life!

Hi!! I am on day FIVE of my 2 week liquid diet. I need some buddies to talk to and help me through it. i'm okay when i'm alone, but when my family is cooking (for example - last night they had shrimp linguini) and the smell was killing meeeee! I actually almost cried, how sad is that?! anyone else going through this too?

I started my pre-op diet today and someone at work ordered pizza. One of my weaknesses.... But I drank my protein shake and tried to ignore the smell.

Congratulations! I start mine on August 10th. Good luck with your surgery. I will say a little prayer for you

@@jaimiec Wish I had some advice for you but luckily I live alone! I removed all foods that I couldn't have from my house. I can't imagine how bad the temptation would be if I had to be around other people eating. My boyfriend plans to stay away for these two weeks...lol. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any struggles...we can get through this together.

@@Tazwella ugh that would have been hard to resist, congrats for staying on plan! Once again I am so lucky because I work from home and don't have other people around me eating.

Hardest part for me so far today is how sweet the shakes are. I don't like sweets anyway so this is killing me. Would be perfectly happy with just broth but I am supposed to only have one cup a day!!
