Day 11. Down 14 lbs now since starting the diet. This feels like lap 3 in running a mile....lol. Starting to wear down but the end is near.

Day 7 I got some of the premiere shakes to give a try to me there not bad there is more Protein than in my eas shakes bit there a little bit thinner liquid ... thinner liquid I guess makes my brain think I got less of something idk I'm drinking down some Water now...gotta tighten up... I cheated yesterday it's my little ones bday weekend we did there cake and all yesterday headed to legoland today I have been pretty strict consuming less than what is on my allowed list however I had a small piece of cake my daughter who turned 8 really wanted me to and we'll....deep inside I wanted to lol ...so hopefully that wasn't a complete upset in the preop but I'm back to the strick grind protein veggies water...they said I can use oil light dressing stuff like that but I'm choosing not to

I am Day five in my preop liquid only surgery January 24, The worst part about it for me is the headache, i've had a screaming headache since I started, i'm thinking it's due to withdraw from sugar! I am doing the Premier Protein premade drinks it comes in five flavors, I do five a day which brings me to 800 cal and 150 protein little high in the protein but dietitian said it's OK, at the start of the morning I put the five drinks in my lunch bag and when it's time to have a shake I dig my hand into the bag without looking and I get a surprise flavor of drink!! Got to make some fun out of it!! It keeps me full throughout the day but I still crave food and want to eat!

Hi "julia454", I'm having my procedure on the 25th. I'm on my 4th day of the liquid diet. I'm actually having 3 to 4 Protein shakes per day (2 scoops of whey powder protein w/8 oz almond milk), 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth, and sugar free Jell-o, ice pops and plenty of Water. I like to infused my water with lemon, ginger, mint. And very important, my surgeon has encouraged physical activities (3-4/week aerobics, strength training) which I have been following.

Full liquid can be challenging but with will power you will all make it. I used the Premire Pre Ready shakes. They are tasty and will give you what you need. Tip be sure to stay away from anything RED. It will stay in your system and during surgery your doc may think you are bleeding

Ok. Since I'm a traveling nurse and a cash pay patient, everything is going by quickly. I decided to have the surgery about 3 weeks ago, had consultation, paid money and am scheduled for next Wednesday. I'm feeling a certain way, because I'm not being told anything. I've heard about the preop diet but haven't been told to start one. Should I be concerned? What is the preop diet all about?

Our paths seem very similar! I am a dental hygienist, self-pay patient who had my first consultation on 1/2/17 and scheduled for the surgery on the 27th. Just curious where you are and how much you will be paying for your procedure. I am having mine at a surgical center and my total cost will be $12k in Utah.
