5/31 surgery buddies, how is the pre-diet going?

I can't believe it's a week away. I have so much on my todo list already! What have some of you done to prepare?

Nobody seems to have answered you, surely you have some surgery twins out there.
I'm a little behind you, today at my appointment,my dietician refined diet expectations. I have to start practicing the habits I'll have to use post-surgery, I'm supposed not forget my snacks so I'm eating 6 meals in total, 3 snacks along,with the 3 meals, assigned a desired caloric intake for each one, told me if I wished to continue my Centrum. Silver I must add iron supplementation or switch to a prenatal one, told me which of the protein shakes my,program prefers, at this point I can use the usual over the counter, don't have to go to Optifast from them. They went ahead and did my presurgical blood labs today so,i should be within a month of surgery. I still of course will have to Cray but probably won't have to do another abdominal ultrasound because they do have the findings. from the cardiologist. I had ones done when they were scanning my abdominal aorta
The exercise physiologist gave me exercises to do in conjuction with my walking program to build up a little endurance. Ever challenge is doable and I think. I can,make a success of this. Oh Sojoune I feel so hopeful , warm up the losers bench for me maybe we'll be together before July. Good luck,with your surgery nextvweek, update us when its over, we will celebrate with you.???
I’m on June 1st. I’m on day 7 of my 10 day pre op diet. I struggled a bit in the beginning but I’m doing a whole lot better now. I have never been a chocolate milk or milkshake fan but I found that I am able to tolerate the chocolate shake more than the vanilla shake which makes me want to gag. My nutritionist asked me to do the Isopure drinks for phase 1 post surgery. Have you tried those?
I’m may 31!!! I am in awe that we are so close to surgery date! When I started this whole thing it seemed unreal...I think I was in denial until the last week. I am ready now!
I have been buying just liquids for a while now. I’ll be ok with the prep of other food stuff in a week or so. One step at a time for me.

So, here I am 3 days out and feeling great. I am able to drink fluids way too easily, but other than that, it's all good.
