Surgery scheduled for 11-20. Today is day 1 of pre-op diet. So nervous after reading about how difficult this is from other sleevers.

Mine is scheduled for the 21st. I'll be right behind you. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. Good luck and just take it one day at a time!

I'd love to find a "pal" with a surgery date close to mine (Nov. 8th). Even better if you're a stay at home mom in NC! [emoji6] I'd love someone to kind of be able to form a friendship with and discuss, confide, all those fun things friends do. [emoji14] I'm keeping my surgery a secret, so no one knows but my husband. It has been hard but I think it's best, for now anyway.

I’m also in NC!! Not a stay at home mom though. My date is 11/20, I just started my 2 week liquid diet today!!

Good luck to all three new people just starting your pre-op diet for Nov surgery. Just remember, you only need to survive one day at a time.

Hey guys can I say struggles...... lol I started my preop diet today. I thought I could’ve done 3 weeks but of course I failed but I’m not this time around. I’m just starting my first drink of the day protein Isopure and I don’t like it and it won’t go down.... how am I going I do this???? I’m going to Costco to get premier protein shakes because everyone well most people seem to love those so hopefully I will too. Surgery 11/20 I don’t care how I make it but I’m going to make it! Good luck to all sleevers who are having surgery this week! I’ll be praying for everything to go great for you guys!!

You can do this! It's truly the definition of mind over matter. When I was just a few days into my liquid only diet, I thought about the reason we have to do it. My Dr. wants my liver as small as possible so it's easier to get to the stomach. I definitely want to make his life easier when he's operating on me! This thought process really helped me through. I'm 11 days in and I can say it gets easier! Just take it one day at a time oh and get the caramel Premier Protein shakes - they're heaven!

I find the shakes to be too thick for my pallet so I added about 4 ounces of unsweetened original or vanilla almond milk to mine too thin it up and make it easier to get down.

You can do this! I know it seems difficult. But just get through today. Keep hydrated. Drink your water. Each day is a new day. So just keep doing one day at a time.

Good luck!

Ok but I don’t know if I can add any milk because I’m doing the clear liquid and protein diet... I’m going to ask on Wednesday when I go to sign for surgery!!! Yes thank you so much one day at a time! [emoji3]

Ah yes sounds like you're on the clear liquids. I was started on the actual protein shakes the day after surgery for breakfast.

It seem like the closer my date came the harder my job worked me. I haven't been on like I love to. But today was my last day. Surgery is Tuesday @ 5:45am. Boy this journey to get here has been out if this world. I also work with pt who come to my floor after surgery when their unit is full. I hope to God that I am as great as them after surgery. I know most of my pt problems be gas pain so I got that covered. I will keep you guys posted on my arrival and after.

I am on day 7 of the pre op diet. Has been a bit of a juggle as I am also a type 2 diabetic on insulin! I struggle with getting through the protein bars without feeling sick afterwards, the VLCD Soups are not the best tasting, so I tend to use the chocolate shakes more than the other products. One week to go, I can do this. Surgery next Wednesday 15th.

Tuesday 11/21! I got my date today1 Toledo, OH. Good luck everyone!
