Hi Amber,

I have a surgery date of September 9th. I am just a tad (tads do matter) over 5'4" and 330. I am into my pre surgery diet now, and hope I can shed some before my August 28th Dr. appt.

Good luck to you. We will stay in contact here and I wish you the best.

How exciting! Congrats ☺☺ I'm hoping I'll shed some weight pre diet as well and prepare for the liquid stage after surgery

Amber, what are your clear liquid plans after surgery.

First two weeks= Clear liquids

Next four weeks = liquids (I think I have that covered)

I am a bit stumped on the clear liquids.

My plans are chicken broth. I know for clear liquids we can have sugar free jello and popcicles. We can do flavored water also. That's pretty much on my agenda for his. I want to get some tasteless powder protein to add to my broth so I can make sure I'm getting the protein I need.

Yayyyy congrats!!!! My surgery is September 21st. Can't wait as well.

Good luck everyone

Thank you!! Good luck!

I am also having surgery on 9/14. The Protein powder I'm using is from Thorne research laboratory (chocolate and vanilla) . My doctors office sells it discounted. It's pretty good. I only have a 3 day pre op diet. Right now they advise 1-2 Meal Replacement Protein drinks per day. Low carb diet for other meals. Eat protein first and no drinking with meals. Exercise at least 4 X week. They also have me taking Calcium chloride and Vitamins with Biotin and zinc. I have to attend a pre-op class on the Sept. 3rd. To prepare for post op I've purchased unflavored and chicken Soup flavor Protein Powder.

Sept 14th it is! I am nervous and excited at the same time!!!! Good Luck to you alL!
