      I see my surgeon Wednesday and finish my last workshop after that. I find out Friday what time the surgery is on Monday. I turn 50 on Thursday so the surgery is my gift to myself.

      I am also the first surgery of the day at my hospital. They are going to call this Friday to let me know the exact time. My first day of pre-op shakes went well. I looked forward to chewing my Bariat

      I am so proud of all of us. I realized that the magnesium I take for heart palpitations was causing the watery poo, so that is resolved. Down another 2 pounds today. I tried some broth yesterday

    I've used isoprure bottles that has 40 grams of protein when I had my sleeve. By itself it taste awful I mean awful. I added a packet of crystal light and made sure it was ice cold and it was decent. I can say what I loved before surgery the first time around I hated after surgery. Be open to trying different ones and don't buy too much of anything before surgery as you will be surprised how different your taste buds are after surgery. I read how that happened to folks but didn't think it would happen to me and low and behold it was 1000% true lol.

    Hi all. Hope you are all feeling good. Today is day nine of my pre op diet. I am feeling very weak and lightheaded. My sugar is currently 159. I really feel like crap.

    So sorry to hear that. Maybe give your surgeon a call and see what he/she has to say.
    My day has been full!!! Spring cleaning and getting something's organized!!! Room by room. But boy I will go crazy once I get to my closet. I want to put all my clothes in order by size so it'll be easier as I move on down.
    I'm just trying to keep myself busy so I don't start freaking out too much. I'm an over thinker and a worrier[emoji30]

    Pretty good--couple of minor cheats but nothing outrageous. Hope you have done well.

    I'm on day 6 and somehow managed not to slip up! I have between 3-4 premier protein shakes a day and loads of Chrystal light.

    This all feels so sudden despite the 7 month wait lol

    Lucky you that you only have to do liquids today. My doctors don't require the bowel purge! I don't have to do that. I was shocked and elated.

    I had a few cheats. Nothing too bad. But, yay me, I woke up with my period today and surgery is tomorrow. Ugggg
