It's getting close! Anyone else scheduled on the 12th? I stated my liquid diet.. So far it's horrible:) nothing but liquids - has to be 15 grams of protein and less than 6 grams of sugar in the shake.. This doesn't leave a lot of choices so I have stuck to the same two shakes all week, it's getting boring and all I can think about is food:( bleh!

Anyone else going through the liquid phase?

I'm scheduled for the 12th and on a moderated liquid diet. I'm okay with the occasional hunger pains but I miss my energy. What kinda shakes are you using?

I'm on the 12th too!! I don't have liquid diet, I just have to stay below 40 carbs a day. I shouldn't say just because it is surprisingly difficult! I am using a low carb Protein drink for one meal a day to get in the habit for after.

I am also scheduled for the 12th. I am on a liquid diet with one meal a day. I can only think about food......I am so excited to start this journey!

Mine is the 12th as well and I have been on a full liquid diet since September 21st. I am drinking Premier Protein shakes, they are really good! 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar and if you don't drink want for 30 to 45 minutes after it keeps me full for a while! They also have snack bars that my NUT told me I could have if i was really hungry but I have only eaten two since I started and I have way more energy than I used too:)

October 26 is my surgery date!!!! Excited and scared all at the same time!!!! Start my pre-op diet on October 12th!!!! ????????????????????????

I'm scheduled for 10/13 and started liquid diet 9/29 but for the two previous weeks was on two shakes and one meal eat day. That "weaning" in really helped me adjust to the full liquid phase and I have not had any problems so far. Most of the shakes have an after-taste and need "doctoring" to make them drinkable. I've found warm broth mixed with unflavored protein powder with some Mrs. Dash is quite tasty. I also like making hot cocoa with the chocolate protein is delicious. Just be sure the liquid is below 160 degrees so it doesn't curdle.

Hi, I'm having the sleeve 10/14.

One week guys!!! Oh my gosh I really hope this week flies by!! I have my mother flying in on Friday to stay with me during my surgery and recovery and it cannot get here fast enough!

I'm on the 12th as well! It's finally getting real! I'm counting down the days and trying to get everything prepared. Is it just me, or is surgery all you can think about? I feel like I can't concentrate on much else lol.

Same for me! I think I have watched a zillion you tube videos on post op. It's starting to really get real!! I have so many meetings this week that I hope it makes my days go by quickly!!

Oct 14 here--I've been drinking premier protein as well and when I want to switch them up, I add SF coffee syrups (Torani or Skinny Girl). This morning I added Brown Sugar Cinnamon Torani to my vanilla shake and it tasted like a cinnamon roll *mmmmmm* I also add coffee creamers (1T is NUT-approved) and that helps too.

The countdown is on! I have pre-op on Thurs 10/8 and I can't wait for the surgery on Monday 10/12. I have done much better on pre-op diet that I thought I would. Can't wait!

I am so excited it is so close! I am turning 21 on Thursday and I honestly forget most of the time because I am just so ready for surgery lol How is everyone holding up on their diets?

Happy birthday!

Pre-op diet is fine in the morning then wears on me in the afternoon--just get hungry after awhile!

The diet isn't near as bad as I thought. There are definitely good moments and bad though. But only had one really bad night where I was craving actual food. To me, keeping busy is key.

But now, I'm just getting super restless... I want Monday to get here already!!!

And Happy early Birthday!
