OMG! Its happening. For my 14 day pre-op I can have:

1. 4 optifast shakes

2. Herb Ox bouillon cubes

3. Clear broth soup/bone broth (once a day)

4. SF Popsicle

5 SF gelatin

6. Mi0

7, decaf tea, coffee

8. Propel 0

so far so good. I am ready for this challenge. I just have to remember my goal is my surgery day 11/18!

anyone else going through their pre-op fast?

Last day of pre-op for me ... nothing but clear liquids. I had water water water, 2 - 8 oz. glasses of crystal light, and a cup of sugar free jello. Surgery tomorrow- can’t sleep sinus congestion ?.

Day 10 and I am at the point where I am not thinking about eating. I am also not caring for the shakes anymore. I am keeping my water intake up and drinking my broth. But I havent had SF jello since Monday.

Cannot wait until Monday,

Way to go, @Chardonnay40

Congratulations on starting your pre op ! My surgery is scheduled for 11 December and I’m on pre op as well. Just wondering if your allowed any vegetables with your diet? Normally your allowed this with optifast . I’m really curious because I’m allowed fruit and cracker biscuits with my shakes

. Why do the diets differ so much ?

Woohooo!

I need to do that now, as I approach 6 years post-op!

It will be the best decision you made for yourself. Just imagine your happier future. Hang in there!!!!! I'm excited for you!

Day 11 and still pumped! I had my pre-op diet weigh in and I have lost a total of 19lbs since I started this! The weekend will be a breeze as Monday is the big day. Surgery is at 10:30 am! WOO

You've done so well Chardonnay40! I'm so, so pleased for you!! ((HUGS))

Isn’t it amazing how the preop diet works? I was pumped seeing the scale change for the better every day! It kept me motivated. Congratulations on your successful weigh in! You’re doing awesome and you will continue to do so in the next steps ahead. My post op appt was yesterday and I had lost 14lbs on preop diet, and another 8lbs since surgery. Emily the NP said that’s more than average and that I’m doing great! Hugs to you! Enjoy your weekend!
