Anyone being scheduled in August? I meet with my surgeon on August 6th and get my date for surgery. So excited and welcome my upcoming successful journey of obtaining my goal.

Awesome! So excited for you. I hope I get one wk liquid diet instead of two.

Awesome! I will find out my date on the 6th when I meet with my surgeon.

8/3 for me I’m having gastric bypass! It’s to fix my hernia after gastric sleeve 3 years ago. My surgeon put me out for 6 weeks to recover

Just got my date this morning! August 19th! So excited. 1 week liquid pre-op diet.

My surgery is August 19th also! 4 days before my birthday, so happy early birthday to me. Congrats and good luck! What protein will you be using for your liquid diet?

YoouniqueNY I only have a liquid diet for the day before. I was sleeved 3 years ago and they will fix my hernia and do a gastric bypass on 8/3. I drink a protein shake everyday so as soon as I can I will continue that it’s delicious and filling

My liquid diet is for 2 weeks before. I bought a bunch of the Atkins Advantage shakes. They're the best tasting ready to drink shakes I've found so far. I'm so excited for you. That's so soon!

@YouniqueNY I'll be using the PremierProtein - I seem to like them the best. Found a new flavor (Apple Cinnamon) last week that is fantastic for breakfast. On the sweeter side, so I tend to drink it slower. Also experimenting with some of the flavored waters. A good friend of mine said to make sure I also get some broth as the sweet drinks will start getting old after a couple of days.

Congrats on your surgery date and birthday! Way to start off a "new year" with a "new you"!

August 3rd, revision from VSG to RNY due to reflux and esophagitis. Feels so weird going through all my pre-op steps again!

A friend of mine gifted me some Unjury broth protein powder. I'm nervous to try it because I'm such a picky person when it comes to taste. But I've definitely been thinking about how sweet everything is and I can imagine its going to be a lot.

Does your diet allow anything like vegetables or oatmeal? My surgeon is very strict and the only wiggle room is for no sugar jello.

Unjury broth remains one of my favorites, and I ordered a bunch for my second surgery. I'm sensitive to fake sweeteners (more so after my VSG) and the savory proteins are free of it!

@marie_m I feel the same way but also grateful to finally get this done!
