Mine is March 12! I'm on day 3 of my preop diet. I'm starting to get excited instead of just nervous. How are you doing?

TeeBeau, I’m doing ok. Still feel likes it’s forever away. Where are you from?

March 20th and counting ...

Makisue,
I am very excited and nervous. I’m from New Mexico and over all I’m feeling really good. What about you? Are you going to have yours done soon?

Welcome everyone! It is nice to have this support on here. I started my prep diet on Feb 28th. The first day was super hard and the second day I did a little better. I am in a grove now, but need to work on my portion sizes. I have salad and they want me to only have a cup of lettuce a day and I have a hard time sticking to that at this point. other than that I am doing fairly well with the pre op diet. @DwarfStarlin I am from Ohio and my surgery is on the 13th of March! It is next week and I am excited and nervous.

March 18th for me! Started my pre-op liquid diet today! These two weeks are going to go so slow.

I start 1st day of 2 weeks tomorrow! I've my shakes and jello packed for work. Hope it's going well@SLsleeved@TeeBeau and@makisue!

I have one week to go! I’m excited!

March 18! I was wondering what everyone is using for their liquid protein and vitamins. I know there is other posts on this here, but it's so overwhelming!

I start my liquid diet on the 13th as my surgery in the 27th.

MAL - my surgeon gave me a list. The best on so far that I like is Ensure Max Protein. That’s the only Ensure on this list because the others have a lot of sugar. Max is 1 gram of sugar and 30 grams of protein. I am 4 days post op and the Max is going down pretty good. As for vitamins I splurged on the Bariatric advantage. They don’t taste as bad as some and I really want to avoid vomiting where I can. Downside: you have to take 2 a day and they are expensive. I wish you all the best for a comfortable recovery.

My first post I'm scheduled for the 21st and started my 2 week pre-op diet yesterday.
