I'm so glad I just read your post. Mine is July 18th and they told me to start July 6th on the diet. Well looking at your dates made me check mine and I see my dates are incorrect! It's only 12 days! The nurse forgot about the 2 days of clear liquids when calculating. Looks like I'll be starting my diet on July 4th... bummer! : )

Just found out today mine is July 10th! In my directions binder, I only have a 2 day prior liquid diet. I'm curious as to why everyone else's seems to be longer?

My doctor is placing me on meal replacement shakes (3x a day and I can eat 2 yogurts as long as they are under 200 calories). This is for 12 days and then clear liquids for the last two days. Double check with your doc office but then again every doc is diff!

July 18th!!!! I am so excited and nervous! [emoji4]

Same date for me too!!! When do you start your diet? We should keep up with each other! : )

Surgery July 11th. Start pre-op diet, June 26th. Nervous and excited!!!

I ordered the same. I chose both the powder and a premix variety pack. I start pre-op diet on 6/27.

I didn't know they had powder! I've tried the banana liquid which is pretty good. I start my prediet on July 6th but my doc office is making me drink their powder shakes. I got the premier for after surgery.

I just saw chocolate and vanilla powder. I also got PBFit (powdered peanut butter) to add variety. I was told no more than 5g of sugar and with both powders combined I am still under. The peanut butter makes a world of difference to me.

Got my surgery approval today from insurance!!! My surgery date has been set for a while, July 7th. My surgeon schedules surgery first and then submits to insurance a few weeks before, so I've really been sweating it out. So so so relieved to get my approval today! :)

I'm scheduled for July 24th too! After 2 prior surgery dates (april 26th and June 7th) I'm hoping no other rode blocks come up and I will have my sleeve done!! Did anyone make a fb group? I would love to join!
