@Malcy and @Badwolf523 how is the pre op diet going for you two? I’ve heard that only the first or second day is hard then you just get used to it.

For me the first three days were good. When I got to the forth I wanted to die. I’m not the biggest fan of sweets so the sweetness of the Protein Shakes make me sick. Thank god incan have broth. I only have 5 days left.

My surgery is August 7, I was doing so good on the pre op diet, mine was 2 weeks, shrink the liver. I went out of town this weekend by plane, and could not bring my Protein Shakes on plane. I messed up at dinner, I am realizing how hard it is to plan if you go away. I do great at home. I am even more nervous now, can I do this? It’s not about the eating it’s the planning. Is it because I am new to having to plan? This will be the new way.

I didn’t rent a car this trip because the trip is so short so the walking distance grocery market had not much in the fat free department

In this case you will need to use your he'sfound knowledge to,improvise, homemade usually trumps commercial made anyway.

My date is August 7. The struggle is real with this pre op diet. At home, I'm content but at work I am loosing my mind. It's a mental thing with me. I've learned to freezer the chocolate Premier Protein shakes and it actually in its own way tastes like a yoo-hoo. Good luck to everyone.

I’m scheduled for August 14! I’m super excited- starting pre-surgery liquid diet next weekend- which I’m nervous about!

I'm on August 2nd and can't wait. Starting to get a little nervous

So my gastric sleeve is scheduled for August 1st. my husband and I are driving to Texas the day before and surgery is in the very early morning. I am getting very nervous. I only been doing a 7 week pre op diet because the first week of preop I was bad girl. I thought it would be my last time eating my favorite foods and I ended up gaining 4 pounds. But wls is not the end of the road for eating your favorite foods. I figured that out on my own and I began my preop late but the big thing I started it and I lost a little weight. The most important thing is making sure my liver has been shrinking and with the little weight loss, I am sure it has shrunk. it does not take long for that.

I know you are nervous, as I am, it is going to be a great journey, youre going to get your life back. We got this chica!!!

How has your pre op diet been going? As you previously read, my sucked but I hoped back on the band wagon and my surgery is on 3 days omg!!

And BEST of Luck to you and Hubby both on Wednesday August 1st. I'll pray 🙏for Traveling Mercies for you both, Sabrina, as you travel from Baton Rouge to Dallas. Things are going to be just fine!
